Buttock enhancement is becoming an increasingly popular procedure in Plastic Surgery. Clothing styles and other
trends are leading to a desire for contouring and an enhanced appearance of the buttock in both men and women of all ethnicities.
Improvement in techniques and a decrese in the rate of complications have made the previously unpopular
buttock implants a safer and less demanding procedure. Other options for buttock enhancement are liposuction for contouring
and reduction and fat injection for contouring and enlargement.
Here at Plastic Surgery in Brooklyn, we perform buttock augmentation by fat transfer.
Buttock augmentation is contouring the lower body in such a way that the appearance, size and shape of the buttock
is enhanced. The procedure entails gentle liposuction to harvest fat cells from the abdomen, lower back, "love handles"
and other areas which are then injected into the buttock.
This process leads to a greater projection of the buttock which is further enhanced by contouring surrounding
areas.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and generally lasts 4-6 hours. Following the procedure you
will be required to wear a compression garment and refrain from sitting for 2 weeks.
