Speaking of Jennifer Lopez, it's easy to see that great butts are very desirable these days, and Hollywood and normal people alike place quite a premium on a great butt. So, if you have a sagging or flat butt, you can be left feeling a little behind. One thing that a lot of people are doing is getting butt augmentation, or buttocks implants. From younger women who have very small and flat butts, to men with very little butts and even older women who need a bit more round in their behind, it seems to be the new thing as far as gaining a bit more self confidence. These can either be done alone, or with a butt lift to supplement it. This totally depends upon the person getting the implants and their personal preferences. The doctor will probably suggest a butt lift if he or she thinks it will improve the results and is needed.

During buttocks augmentation surgery, the doctors create a pocket under the butt muscle. In this pocket is where the doctor places the implants. This is usually a little higher than the 'sitting region,' close to where the pockets are on a pair of blue jeans. This is so the person will not actually sit on the implants. The implants are made of a stronger Silicone, which is solid unlike the pouches used for breast augmentation. This is because the buttocks implants will be put through a lot more activity, with sitting, jogging, walking and exercise. The key is that they are able to take more wear and tear than a breast augmentation. The way they are made also makes them feel and look more natural. There are also different kinds of implants. You may want a rounder butt up top, and this would be different from implants designed to shape out the bottom part of your buttocks. Your doctor can help you decide which type is right for you based on your desired butt.

Once the surgeon has placed the implants in the buttocks, he or she will make sure that they are even, shaped the same, and look proportionate. The surgery takes around 3 hours in general, but this type of surgery takes longer to heal from than a breast augmentation or other types of cosmetic surgery. Most doctors will tell you that you need at least two to three weeks to recover from this type of surgery. You will need to wear bandages that compress, and reduce the swelling and discomfort. You will also have to take it easy for the first couple of weeks, and that includes sleeping on your stomach so as not to disturb the implants.

So, can butt implants give you an ass like Jennifer Lopez? The possibility is good, depending upon your body type, age and the shape of your butt already. The truth is that a fake butt will not be the same as a real butt. However, if your butt is not up to your standards, you can definitely improve it through buttocks augmentation.
