Bigger buttocks possible

With the right plastic surgery techniques, post-operative massage regimen, diet and exercise, fuller and more shapely buttocks can be achieved. This can be life-changing and permanent! It is important to achieve bigger buttocks as naturally as possible. Implants cause a lot of problems and the technology is close but not quite there for you to keep implants that feel and look natural for very long. Natural buttock augmentation means borrowing fat cells from your own body where they are... more

Buttock Augmentation Options

Fillers for buttock augmentation pose two potential major problems: 1) cost prohibitive - if the surgeon is using an authentic medical grade filler than the cost for any significant result will be $150,000.00+ and 2) high rate of complications - such as infection, movement/migration of the material, and/or hardening of the material. Best to stick with either of two tried and true methods: 1) Fat Transfer, unfortunately only about 1 out of every 50 patients that I see have... more

Buttock augmentation

In order to achieve a fuller buttock area, you can either have gluteal implants (silicone) or a fat transfer (Brazilian buttock lift). If you are very thin with no excess fatty tissue on you body (abdomen/hips/thighs) then you are not likely a candidate for a fat transfer. The gluteal/buttock implants may be the only reasonable option for a thin patient, however these devices can move, harden, or become infected over time. If you have some extra fatty tissue on your body, then a fat... more

Got Butt?

Kara, Being a plastic surgeon in your hometown, Miami, I am quite familiar with the general desire of the local population to have a round, firm, sexy, backside. As far as I am concerned, the procedure frequently referred to as a " Brazilian Buttock Lift or Augmentation" is far and away superior for body and buttock contouring compared with the use of implants. I do not use buttock implants in my office for several reasons: they simply are not capable of producing the aesthetic... more

Most who do a lot of buttock augmentation prefer fat

I have done a lot of buttock augmentations over the past 5 years, and like a lot of people, I thought I would end up doing a balance of fat and implants. This has not been the case. Thin patients, on whom you would think implants would be ideal, are in fact, not that easy to deal with. The implants can be palpable at the outer edges. Secondly, because of anatomic constraints, the implants can't go down as far as you would like, or it can cause nerve compression. I have had to do implant... more

Buttock augmentation can be performed using either your...

Buttock augmentation can be performed using either your own fat or shaped silicone implants. Although fat tends to be rather unpredictable in terms of longevity, I prefer its more natural look and feel. In addition, unused fat can be frozen and used to touch-up and reshape your buttocks at a later date.

Butt augmentation with fat grafting

The answer is not to get a big butt but to get a more shapely butt.  Plastic surgery is an art and simply making your butt bigger is not the answer.  Liposuction plays a very important role because it is important to remove fat from places you do not want it.  I first liposcution around the butt to give more shape.  If more fat is needed, I remove it from another place such as the thighs, abdomen, or love handle area.  We carefully process the fat by washing... more

Fat grafting is the ideal method

Fat grafting is becoming the preferred method for buttock augmentation. It is more natural, using your own fat cells. The other method is buttock implants. Buttock implants have more morbidities and are not as natural.

2 ways to plump the butt

The two main ways to plump the buttocks are: 1) Get buttock implants 2) Get fat injections I have performed both types of procedures and recommend buttock implants for the patient with a very flat, volume deficient buttock area who is not opposed to having a silicone implant. Fat injections are a nice way to plump out the tush in people wishing for a mild to moderate volume increase and who have elastic skin without a lot of ptosis, or sagging. The downside of fat injections is the... more

How to get a big butt?

In order for you to get a better bottom, definitely, a plastic surgery is the answer. There are different options to get a better and improved behind. Transferring fat to the buttocks is the best option at the moment because your own fat removal is very versatile in sculpting your bottom and also your hip to waist ratio. In addition, butt implants are another option. Consult a plastic surgeon to determine if you're currently a good candidate for any of the options that are... more

Buttock Aug

If you want to enlarge or re-shape your buttocks and have discovered that they do not respond to diet or exercise, buttock augmentation may be the solution you've been looking for. A buttock augmentation (butt augmentation) or buttock lift (butt lift) contours the buttocks and compensates for low amounts of fat in the area. Women and men who enlarge their bottoms can enjoy a more voluptuous and perky profile. Augmentation may be achieved through injections of the patient's own body... more

Pros vs Cons of Buttock Implant, Fat Transfer and Fat Imbrication

What are the pros and cons of an implant? The pros of an implant are: •Similar controllable amount outplays on both sides. •It can be used in skinny people. • Short operating time (two hours). • Reduces cost. • Will not fluctuate with weight loss or gain. • The implants are “permanent” and do not need to be replaced, as they are soft and solid. The cons of an implant are: •There may be a little more... more

Fat Transfer is the way to go.

Thanks for your question - As long as the size increase you're looking for is not gigantic (think in the range of 700-1000 cc per buttock) fat transfer can be a very effective way to increase the fullness and improve the shape of your buttocks. In addition, the fat that is removed usually enhances the waist line increasing the result. In our Bay Area practice we perform these operations regularly. Find a board certified plastic surgeon that has expertise in this technique and get a... more

With fat transfer the procedure is minimally invasive, very soft ,can provide an excellent augmentation and the person is also getting liposculpture around the gluteal area.

Definitely fat

Fat grafting to the buttocks, the so called Brazilian butt lift is most definitly the best solution for your request. The Brazilian butt lift procedure is dramtically rising in popularity in Europe at present, I would even call it a hype. However, my perception may be enhanced by the fact that I practice at the Mediterranean with a very outdoor orientated lifestyle. We only resort to buttock implants if there is absolutely no other possibility, fat transfer is simply better. more

Want a bigger butt?

This may be your answer... The “Brazilian Butt Lift,” or gluteal lift/augmentation is a procedure designed to improve the shape and appearance of the gluteal region. This surgery uses a combination of liposuction and fat grafting (i.e. fat injections with the patient’s own fat) to produce a fuller, firmer, more youthful-appearing buttocks. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in the brazilian butt lift procedure for best results. more

How to improve the appearance of the buttocks

Buttock augmenatation has become very popular in the last few years especially with the use of fat transplantation. In my practice it has become the number one procedure. The buttcoks need to be examined from various perspectives: size, shape, projection, widtrh, hips and adjacent areas. The ultimate aim is to restore roundness. Many buttocks appear as square or rectangular shapes. You need to bexamined by a Board Certified plastic surgeon who specializes in buttock augmentation... more

Options for buttock augmentation

The popularity of buttock augmentation has increased significantly over the last 3 years here in New York.  Originally, augmentation was only available through the use of artificial implants placed under the muscle.  However, in recent years, transferring your own fat to the buttock area is a very popular way to improve the size and shape of your buttocks through injections (and without artificial implants). In addition, there is the added benefit of improved contour to the body... more

How can I get a Better Butt?

Hi there- The two acceptable and safe methods of achieving a larger, more rounded and shapely buttock contour are Brazilian Butt Lifting and placement of implants. While implants do work well, I would always prefer to achieve a woman's goals through Brazilian Butt Lifting if possible. This is because this procedure allows for removal of fat from areas of the body in which it is producing an unfavorable contour, and placement of that fat into the buttocks for increased size, projection,... more

Buttock Lift

Shapely buttocks, calves and chests not only look great, but they can also increase one's self-esteem. Body contouring implants can help you achieve smooth contours in areas that are not symmetrical, not well developed or have lost volume as part of the natural aging process. Results are permanent and extremely natural-looking.

Get Brazilian Butt Lift for bigger butt

From my experience of performing both buttocks implants and the Brazilian Buttocks Lift over the past 12 years, there is no question. The Brazilian will provide a much more natural feel and shape than implants. It is also a much safer procedure. I have done several hundred Brazilian Butt Lift procedures with virtually zero complications and about a 20% complication rate with buttocks implants. The Brazilian is by far a much better and safer procedure in my hands.

Options for Buttock Sculpting and Augmentation

There are several options for you to improve the shape of your buttocks. One option is to sculpt the shape of the buttocks with targeted liposuctioning and to add volume to the desire areas with fat injections (also known as fat micrografting). Other options include buttock lifts with tissue augmentation (which are popular with people who have lost volume in that area because of weight loss). Buttock implants are also option. My preference is to treat a patient with your concerns... more

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... more

Two surgical options for buttock augmentation

Two methods for buttock augmenation include: 1) Fat grafting using your own fat cells; and 2) Buttock augmentation using silicone implants Patients with adequate donor fatty tissue elsewhere on the body may be a candidate for fat transfers. However, many patients who desire buttock augmentation do not have much excess fatty tissue and must rely on a silicone implant to achieve an augmented or fuller buttocks.
