Until recently, the only way to create the illusion of a full gluteus, an essential feature of classical beauty, was through liposuction or, for some, a buttock lift.

Today, just like with breast augmentation we can enhance your breast, with buttock augmentation we can add an implant that truly reshapes and enhances your buttocks. Today’s buttock implants are similar to gummy bears and are of the same quality as your gluteal muscles. These implants do not have many of the complications of breast implants and do not deflate or pop like a bag of water.

About

Latino, Spanish and African cultures idealize fuller buttocks in females and there is no question that a rounded and fuller gluteal shape provides a powerful erotic message.

Regardless of ethnic background, today, as in the classical Greco-roman times a round buttock is perceived as youthful and desirable.

This is further ingrained when we look at popular magazines by our idealization of beautiful women as having perfectly smooth thighs and lifted rounded buttocks. There are two procedures available to augment your buttocks: the “Brazilian Butt Lift,” consisting of fat injections obtained from other areas of your body and Buttock Implants, which is the procedure of choice in thin people. Buttock implants are contraindicated in patients with a lot of sagginess in their lower buttocks since it could exacerbate this sagging (these patients are better treated with a buttock lift ). Fillers or other injectables have no place in buttock augmentation.

There are several ways you can achieve fuller buttocks, including a buttock augmentation. For many, targeted workouts can make some minor improvements to the shapeliness of the buttocks, but won’t achieve the full desired results.

For women who are unhappy with the look of their buttocks, whether a lifelong issue or frustrating development after a pregnancy or due to aging, buttock augmentation can help boost your confidence by giving you the more firm, round butt that you desire. The buttock augmentation procedure reshapes and enhances the buttocks area for a fuller, curvier figure.

Benefits

Just as the voluptuous backside has become more widely considered to be an attractive feature, the popularity of the buttock augmentation surgery has skyrocketed. Those born with flat behinds who wish for a fuller figure and more rounded buttock area may find the buttock augmentation to be a good option.

A buttock augmentation is a procedure in which a silicone implant is inserted through a tiny incision between the buttocks and it is used to reshape your buttocks. Sometimes an additional procedure is performed in which your body’s own natural fat is taken from another part of your body and placed into the buttock area to further refine and improve your profile.

A person’s individual buttock augmentation procedure will depend on what their desired outcome will be. In some cases, liposuction will be used to remove unwanted fat above the sacral area.

With so many options to choose from, it’s important to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Gentile. Having a doctor you can trust helps give you the confidence that you will get the results you are looking for.

Consultation

During the consultation with Dr. Herve Gentile, you will have, in addition to a review of your medical history, a personal evaluation of what is appropriate for you, your body size and frame as there are different size implants. Sometimes liposuction with or without fat transplantation is also used to enhance even further the result and is usually performed at a later stage. Liposuction is especially useful above the buttocks to increase the angle of takeoff from the lower back and therefore make it more abrupt and, also, below the buttocks at the banana fold to increase the definition and roundness of your buttock at the fold. Sometimes it is very useful to perform the so-called ” BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT.” This procedure consists of injecting fat in layered tunnels via tiny incisions. Repeat grafting is frequently necessary because of a high absorption rate and it can only be performed in patients who have abundant fat and are scheduled for liposuction. In most cases, the “Brazilian Butt Lift” greatly enhances and complements the Buttock Augmentation with implants but by itself offers modest improvement as it cannot provide the round projection that most patients desire. This is especially true if the patient is thin and has no body fat.
