Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

A shelf booty has the appearance of a shelf at the top.  Thus, there is a lot of projection at the top of the buttock as compared to the middle of the buttock.  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, MD Los Angeles, CA

I think you are referring to the desire of some patients to have a fuller upper 1/3 of the buttock lower back region to almost appear like a shelf, and I have definitely gotten that request in the office.

Frederick G. Weniger, MD, FACS, MBA · Answer

These are really variations on a theme.  Both procedures add volume to make the buttocks project, but a shelf booty has an exaggerated takeoff from the small of the back which makes the buttocks sometimes APPEAR more projected.
