Topic: Buttock Augmentation

Buttock Augmentation and Fat Transfer.

Posted by Januita B • Sunday, 2009-June-14

I am interested in butt augmentation and I think I have enough fat to transfer. How would I know that I am a candidate for fat transfer?

We have two options available to us for buttock augmentation. One is with a soft solid implant, the other is with fat transfer from the patient themselves. Approximately 25% of the fat that one sees ends up alive in the buttocks. This is an area of plastic surgery that is going to show improvement in the coming years as we gain knowledge about fat cell metabolism.
