Buttock Augmentation in Dallas, TX

What is Buttock Augmentation?

Contour the Buttocks

If you want to enlarge or reshape your buttocks and have discovered that they do not respond to diet or exercise, buttock augmentation may be the solution you’ve been looking for. A buttock augmentation (butt augmentation) or buttock lift (butt lift) contours the buttocks and compensates for low amounts of fat in the area. Women and men who enlarge their bottoms can enjoy a more voluptuous and perky profile. Dallas plastic surgeon, Dr. Matthew J. Trovato, may perform the treatment through injections of the patient’s own body fat or with silicone implants.

Who Is a Candidate for a Buttock Augmentation?

Generally, if you are looking for a fuller, curvier butt, buttock augmentation may be for you. Schedule a consultation to discuss your buttock augmentation in Dallas, TX.

Implants Vs. Fat Transfer

The preferred method

The preferred method for performing buttock augmentation is fat transfer, the use of the patient’s own body fat to reshape the butt. Fat injection achieves a more natural result, has a lower risk of infection, and also contours the areas around the buttocks to enhance the overall effect. However, buttock implants may be recommended for patients who have very little body fat to harvest, such as body-builders and naturally thin patients.

Buttock Augmentation With Fat Transfer (“Brazilian Butt Lift”)

Buttock augmentation with fat transfer, also known as the Brazilian Butt Lift, in honor of the country in which it was developed, involves two steps. The first step in a buttock augmentation Dallas plastic surgeon, Dr. Trovato will collect the patient's own fat through liposuction. The most popular areas for liposuction before butt augmentation are the lower back, waist, flanks (love handles), thighs and stomach. This not only provides the raw material for buttock enhancement, it also contours the areas around the butt for a more dramatic result. The fat removed with liposuction is then purified in a special process so that the best fat is ready to be reintroduced to the body.

Additional Reading

In the second step, the donor fat is added to the buttocks with hundreds of tiny injections at different depths to ensure an even, attractive butt augmentation. This method of fat injection lends a shapely contour to the buttocks that lasts a long time. Special attention is given to the upper buttocks so the entire rear looks youthfully and naturally lifted.

Buttock Augmentation With Silicone Implants

Buttock implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes to best fit each patient’s body type and desired goal. They are made of soft silicone, which provides a firm, smooth and natural feel. They are placed away from important nerves as well as the bony area on which you sit. The upper and outer regions of the butt become rounder and firmer once the buttock implants are in place. The buttock augmentation procedure takes about two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are made inconspicuously in the depression between the buttocks.

What is Recovery like from a Buttock Augmentation?

Swelling typically dissipates by the sixth week

After buttock augmentation with fat transfer or silicone buttock implants, patients should avoid sitting directly on the buttocks or lying on their backs for two to three weeks to maximize results. During this time, compression garments may be worn to reduce swelling. Patients may experience some pain or discomfort, bruising and swelling after the butt augmentation procedure. Most Dallas buttock augmentation patients return to work two weeks after their procedure and are able to resume all normal activities within four weeks.
