Using radio frequency to do a Brazilian butt lift?

This sounds like an absolute scam to me.  My guess is that these are "cosmetic doctors" who have purchased a radiofrequency device and are looking for any excuse they can to use it.  Radiofrequency yields very subtle results.  I myself have a radiofrequency machine, but only recommend it for appropriately selected patients who need a very, very slight lift.  To expect this very gentle effect to be able to lift a buttocks is optimistic to the point of being dishonest.  Steer clear.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Hello and Great Question.  I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure.  My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel.  I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist.

It is Snake Oil & Complete BS.  The only type of non-surgical BBL is to have Fillers injected into your butt.  I perform that frequently.  The cost is significant.Best of Luck!  Please reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.

This will likely not provide a substantial improvement or result.  Fat transfer, buttock implants, or excisional buttlift would be the three treatments.  Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

I use external RF (Inmode) to tighten skin, treat cellulite and melt fat among other things.  It can produce a modest lift in the buttock area but nothing like fat grafting or implants.  Ignore corporate hustles and visit a few plastic surgeons in Atlanta for sound advice.  

The only way I know to augment the buttocks is to use either fat or implants. RF may help the skin only. Best of luck.

Please be careful because there is a lot of hype out there, especially by non-plastic surgeons who try to lure patients into having procedures done non-surgically. The safest, preferred and most natural way of buttock enhancement and contouring is using fat transfer vial liposuction. Radio frequency.actually burns the fat. You should consult with a Board Certified PS with lots of experience performing buttock enlargement using fat transfer. Good luck!
