WHAT IS BUM & HIP DIP FILLER
The advancement in non-surgical body treatments has made it convenient for people to get the body they desire without having to deal with downtime or risks of complications.
This is a minimally invasive filler treatment designed to reshape and enhance the buttocks using Hyaluronic Acid injections. Hyaluronic acid is produced naturally by the body and contributes to the plumpness, moistness and firmness of our skin.
Bum/Hip fillers are a fast and effective way to create your ‘dream’ bum – significantly improving the shape of the buttock and hip area – without the need for invasive general surgery.
This process successfully enhances the overall lift, contour and appearance of both the buttocks and hips. It can also help to improve the appearance of stretch marks, smooth cellulite and promote good skin quality. It's a safe and natural substance that is used in many cosmetic treatments, such as lip and cheek fillers, due to its instant hydrating and volumising effect.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Bum fillers rely on your body’s natural response, the results are gradual and get better with every session.
In most cases, the desired shape is achieved with 2-4 sessions.
However, In some cases, one session may be enough. The number of required sessions will depend on your own situation and goals, and will be discussed with you during your consultation.
Please Note that due to the size of the treated area, Bum Lifts with GeneFill generally use more product than dermal filler treatments on the face. Keep in mind that hyaluronic acid is a substance that the body ends up reabsorbing, so it is not a definitive treatment.
The effects of the intervention will be visible between 18 - 24 Months depending on the body of each patient, some may even last Years. After that time, a new intervention will be necessary to increase the buttocks again.
DOES IT HURT?
​You may experience slight discomfort as any cosmetic treatment. However, for this treatment, Lidocaine and cannulas are used to reduce discomfort or pain.
Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic (numbing medication) that is used to numb an area of your body to help reduce pain or discomfort caused by cosmetic procedures.
​
A Cannular is used to treat the area rather than an needle. A Cannula allows for smoother, continuous delivery of filler, it is also a good solution for patients who are nervous about needles, as far fewer injections are required.
This is because a Cannula will generally only require a small number of insertion points as it can reach a lot further, which can also mean that the overall treatment is less painful.
WHATS THE DOWNTIME?
After the procedure, you can go home the same day of intervention. It is normal that immediately after the treatment and during the first days you notice some discomfort in the treated area, and bruises can even appear. Clients may also experience slight swelling around the points of injection, where this can be dealt with using paracetamol.
In most cases, downtime is minimal and any bruising will clear up in a few days. You may be advised on some aftercare techniques to aid with recovery at home and ensure the filler is evenly distributed inside the skin.
The final outcome will not be seen immediately, but in about two to four weeks when the swelling and redness have subsided. The Total recovery is estimated four weeks after the procedure.
