Over the past several years, augmentation to the buttocks, often referred to as a Brazilian Butt Lift, has become an increasingly popular cosmetic procedure. There are two surgical techniques to enlarge the buttocks:  One involves the use of a solid silicone implant placed within the muscle of the buttock and the other the use of one's own fat taken from various regions of the body then transferred selectively into the buttock region to create a pleasant anatomical form.

I do not use implants to augment the buttocks. The complication rate is too high, and the consequences of the complications are too great. Instead, I first perform liposuction to the hips, lower back, and abdomen to gather fat which is carefully prepared then injected into the buttock region to create an eloquently contoured anatomical form. The fat is removed by a liposuction technique which sculpts the hips and abdomen and narrows the waist. How fat is removed then prepared for transfer is the most important aspect of the gluteal augmentation procedure. Refined and impressive results can only be attained by respecting the details of the human form.
