Buttock augmentation

The preferred material for augmenting the buttock area is the patient's own fat.  This is known as a fat transfer, where the fat is harvested from the abdomen, back or thigh area, then treate/strained, then re-injected into the desired area (buttocks).  The fat is safe, from the patient, and does not have the concerns that silicone injections can have(excess scarring, infection).  Another option is a solid silicone buttock implant, however, these can shift, migrate, become infected, or develop hard scar tissue surrounding them. 

Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in buttock augmentation prior to scheduling this procedure.

Best wishes,

Many variations of a butt lift have been documented in the literature, including implants, direct silicone injections, sculptra, temporary collagen fillers, and fat augmentation.  Most permanent fillers and implants have higher risks of complications including nodularity, bumps, lumps, infection, and extrusion.

Management of silicone injections is difficult but should be expectant.  At this time, you should focus on conservative management with observation unless discrete nodularity, infection, or extrusion occurs.
