How to Get a Big Butt? my butt has no shape to it! what can i do to give a more rounded look? Does this require plastic surgery?

A: I would categorically say no to buttock implants

Let's face it, there are many areas in the body that can reasonably tolerate an implant. Buttocks are not one of them! If you were to spend > 50% of your time laying on your breasts, I would say breast implants would not be tolerated either.

As plastic surgeons, in our enthusiasm to satisfy patients' desires, we have lost track of logic!

I have performed fat grafting to buttocks for enlargement or enhancement with very good outcome. Overall survival at 1 year seems to be around 50% which is quite good especially if you consider a bit of overcorrection. Once the fat cells become re-incorporated into the body, they become a natural part of the patient. No shifting, no palpability, not capsule, etc.

The challenge with fat grafting rests with technique and judgement

Fat Stored After Liposuction Not Good Anymore? I had a abdomen Liposuction done on August 2006. The doctor gave me my fat to freeze and I have had it since then in my freezer. The problem is that my lights went out for 2-3 days. I would to like know, is the fat is not good anymore? I'm wanting to use it for fat grafting to my buttocks.

A: Say no to stored fat!

First of all, if biologic material such as fat, is to be stored for re-use in the body, it must be maintained with the standards of blood banks. So physicians' offices or patients' own would not qualify.

Secondly, intuitively and scientifically, fat that is harvested, traumatized, then stored, is likely not going to be a quality product. Not very difficult to harvest fresh fat at the time of injection.

Safe Fat Injections for Butt Augmentation I am looking to have a bigger butt whats the best way of going about it. Whats the safest way fat injections?

A: Structural fat grafting is the best option for buttock enhancement

I recommend staying away from buttock implants as their safety profile and long term results are questionable.

I perform structural fat grafting to enhance and augment the buttocks. This procedure is minimally invasive, well-tolerated and has a good long term outcome. The procedure may have to be repeated if additional volume is desired.
