How do I explain to my doctor that I don't want a "Shelf booty" but the "teardrop" booty with projection?

Question

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I correct shelf buttocks all the time.I perform about 500  Brazilian buttlifts each year, and this   
procedure is the most surgeon dependent plastic surgery procedure.  Find
 a  plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of   
Brazilian buttlifts each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's   
website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can   
deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

You should bring pictures and just explain to him what you expectations are. Tell him your fears and he should listen. Good luck.

Dear Journey,    If you want a "teardrop" booty that last for long time , consider only butt implants because fat injection does not last beyond 6 - 12 monthe as I have noticed in my surgery center on patients who came for butt implants after having fat injection by other surgeons. Now, technically,  in order to obtain "teardrop" booty with projection you need to have the butt augmentation in the sub fascial plane and use an oval round implants that  are placed in a pocket that starts at the posterior iliac crest . The pocket should be extended downward as musch as necessary and should not extend excessively laterally. I hope this is helpfull.        Best of luck,                              Dr Widder

I think it is best to bring in pictures for your surgeon to review with you and also to review your overall anatomy with him as well to describe what could be achieved.
