What is Natural Buttocks Augmentation?
Many people have stubborn areas of fat that won’t disappear, no matter how much they diet and exercise.  Have you ever wanted to shift some of that fat from your belly or thighs to areas where you’d like to see a little extra volume, like your bottom?  Many women have wanted to and now they can with Natural Buttocks Augmentation.  Now, with newer fat harvesting and fat grafting technologies, we can do this and naturally enhance the shape and size of your buttocks with your own fat.

Performed while you’re awake, Natural Buttocks Augmentation is a combination of Liposculpture and Fat Harvesting for Fat Grafting.  The LipoSculpture will gently suction and remove areas of unwanted fat to help contour and slim the body.  Natural Fat Harvesting processes those removed fat cells so that they may be reinjected into your buttocks using the latest Fat Grafting techniques.  For women who desire a enhancement or lift of their buttocks by using their own natural fat, it is an ideal alternative to augmentation by using implants. 

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, butt augmentation through fat transfer is one of the fastest growing forms of cosmetic surgery. Buttocks implant procedures are not as simple or as common as breast implants, and many patients want to avoid implant surgery in a sensitive area like the buttocks. Natural Buttocks Augmentation is an option for men and women who are looking for an alternative to butt implants.

How is Natural Buttocks Augmentation Performed?
Natural Buttocks Augmentation is accomplished through fat transfer, a surgical procedure that can also be used for Natural Breast Augmentation. Fat transfer involves two separate procedures within the same surgery. First, Dr. Serrao uses gentle water assisted liposuction to remove excess fat from the hips, flanks, thighs, or abdomen. The fat is then processed and injected into the buttocks in strategic locations using special tubes called canulas. Unlike butt implants, a fat transfer procedure does not require large incisions. The entire procedure is done while you’re awake using mild sedation and tumescent fluid for adequate numbing of the areas treated.

Dr. Serrao will inject the fat at various depths to create a rounded and countered look and will pay special attention to the upper buttocks, creating a youthful, lifted look. Patients who elect to have this procedure gain a double benefit of having unwanted fat removed from one part of the body, resulting in a leaner and more toned appearance, while also having the shape of the buttocks improved.

What is the Post Operative Period Like?
After the procedure is performed, you must wear a compression garment with buttocks support for several weeks. In addition, you will not be able to sleep on your back and you will have to sit on a rolled towel under your thighs to prevent any excess pressure on the fat which could reduce survival.  The area will be swollen, bruised and tender, but these changes all go away and are lessened with the use of ice packs. Most people resume normal activities within a few days after the procedure.  You will be given complete post-operative instructions at your pre-operative visit with Dr. Serrao. 

Is this procedure approved or is it controversial?
Many surgeons remember the poor results that used to occur in the past when fat transfer was used. We now have improved techniques and technologies that help maintain the survival of the fat. Thus, better survival of the fat results in longer results. One such technology is the BodyJet Water Assisted Liposuction technique that harvests the fat in a more gentle fashion.  Recent clinical studies have shown up to an 90% fat cell survival rate from natural fat harvesting with BodyJet Water- Liposuction technique.

Will the Fat Reinjected Survive?
Using newer technologies, most of the fat does survive. Many times one sees 60% to 85% fat survival. However, some patients may need second or third procedures of fat transfer to continue to restore adequate volume within the buttocks.

Who is Good Candidate for Natural Buttocks Augmentation?
The best candidates for butt augmentation are women and men in good health who have some extra fat on another part of their body that can be removed with liposuction.

How is Natural Buttocks Augmentation different from artificial implants?
Unlike artificial implants, natural fat allows more flexibility to shape and contour exactly the way you want, leading to more personalized, natural-looking results. Many patients like the idea of using their own natural fat instead of introducing foreign materials into the body since there’s a lower risk of infection or other complications.  And of course, with Natural Buttocks Augmentation, you’ll be able to take advantage of outstanding body sculpting in the donor areas. 

What Type of Results Can Be Expected From Natural Buttocks Augmentation?
Following a butt augmentation fat transfer procedure, there is the possibility that some of the transferred fat will be reabsorbed by the body. A skilled cosmetic surgeon will use a layering technique when injecting the fat to minimize the reabsorption rate and insure that the final result is smooth and uniform. This is another important reason to consult a trained and experienced surgeon for your buttock augmentation procedure.

Most people’s rear ends will benefit from some reshaping and lifting. Adding volume to even the most toned gluteus can improve a man or woman’s profile. Many of today’s body-conscious fashions are designed with a rounded backside in mind. Butt augmentation can help you fill out your clothes and increase your sense of self-esteem and attractiveness.

Can I do Natural Buttocks Augmentation even if I don’t have much fat?
You must have an adequate amount of fat on your body for the fat harvesting technique. Dr. Serrao can usually find enough fat in most people, but only a consultation with him will allow you to know if you are a candidate. In rare instances, he may suggest that you gain a few pounds for adequate fat harvesting and Natural Buttocks Rejuvenation.  

What Is the Cost of Natural Buttocks Augmentation?
The natural buttocks augmentation procedure that we perform is a little more complicated so the total cost including the liposuction can cost anywhere from $4,000 - $8,000.  We do offer several different financing options, should you need any financial assistance with your surgery.  A quote for your complete surgery will be given at the time of your consultation with Dr. Serrao.
