Buttock Enhancement
Attention to the appearance and contour of the buttocks has become a more common focus for women. The female buttocks loose their fullness and can develop sagging due to weight loss or age itself. In an effort to correct this, three general approaches have been applied.
For those patients who have successfully lost a large amount of weight and are left with rolls of skin and fat that overlie the buttocks, this redundant skin can be relocated beneath the buttocks to add fullness and improve the contour of the buttocks. This also corrects the redundant skin in the buttocks.
The other option commonly chosen is utilizing liposculpture or fat transfer techniques. This is sometimes referred to as the “Brazilian Butt Lift.” In this procedure, fat is harvested from other areas of excess through liposuction. It is then processed and re-injected to fill and gain greater volume in the buttock area. Part of its success is in diminishing the fullness of the area above and below the buttocks, which in itself alone increases the perception of prominence in the buttocks. This is then augmented by the actual transfer of fatty tissue to the buttocks to add greater volume and a more youthful appearance to the female buttocks.
The final option is the use of implants. This is appropriate in cases where the other options do not exist. Through small incisions placed on the inner aspect of the gluteal buttock fold, the implants are placed to add volume and shape.
In the contemplation process, the techniques that would be most appropriate to reach your goals would be discussed and decided upon.
