I Have a Flat Butt Which is Better for Me, Brazilian Butt Lift or Implants?

Im 35yrs old 5'8 and 184. looking for a doctor in florida

A: Brazilian Butt Liift or Buttock Implants to treat flat butt

Although buttock implants can result in a larger buttock augmentation, this procedure can carry higher risks (infection, capsular contracture, or implant extrusion), than the Brazilian Butt Lift which augments the buttocks with one's own fat.   In most cases the Brazilian Butt Lift will tend to look and feel more natural than implants.

Butt Augmentation Using Fat Graft from Abdo, Flanks, Back & Thighs?

Hello, Is it possible to also use lipo of inner thighs in addition to hips, abdo, flanks and back to augment buttocks? I have seen talk of lipo being categorized by # of areas. What constitutes 1 area (is entire abdo 1 area etc)? What's the max recovery time (off work) for such procedures? & how long before one can wear a bikini without the procedure being noticeable? Lastly, where would the small incisions be located typically? I have been unable to find pics of what the scars look like.

A: Fat grafting to buttocks

Dear Kim,

I use fat from any possible location in the body and it all works fine. There is some theoretical evidence that fat is better taken from some areas over others for fat grafting but it all works. It depends more on how it is extracted and processed, and less on the location. Hope this helps. Thank you, Dr. Romano
