How to Get Rounder, Plumper Butt?

We frequently perform buttock enhancements for a rounder, curvier figure. To achieve this appearance we perform liposuction of the abdomen and back, process the fat, then transfer it directly to the buttocks. Combining these procedures allows us to use your own fat to reshape your figure, reducing the size of your abdomen and back and enhancing the size and shape of your buttocks. Typically about a third of the fat that is harvested from the areas you don't want it (think abdomen, flanks, back, thighs) can be used to enhance your buttock contour. The result is a permanent change that can significantly improve tour shape. The other major benefit from this technique is the small incisions associated with it. Nationally there is more and more attention being put on fat transfer. Be sure to find a board-certified plastic surgeon that has performed this procedure with some frequency.

Clinical Context

Fat transfer to the buttocks has become safer over the past decade. Early cases showed rare but serious complications when fat was injected too deep, near large blood vessels. Surgeons now place fat just under the skin, which greatly reduces this risk. How much transferred fat survives long-term varies from patient to patient, depending on technique and body factors, so results aren't guaranteed to match initial volume. Choosing an experienced, board-certified surgeon who uses current safety techniques matters most.
