Background: The mid-body region for contouring can be done by a variety of surgical procedures. The most well known and commonly done are liposuction, fat transfer augmentations and buttock implants. This collection of now standard procedures can satisfy most patient’s needs for a smaller waistline, larger and more shapely buttocks and, in some cases, even Read More…
Background: Implants are the assured permanent method of buttock augmentation even though they are far less commonly performed compared to BBL surgery. (fat injections) Patients typically seek out buttock implants because they do not have adequate fat stores to harvest for BBL surgery or they have received inadequate BBL results. The present debate with buttock Read More…
Buttock augmentation is a popular and commonly performed aesthetic body contouring procedure. Because it can be done by multiple different methods, it is probably best thought of as a menu of treatment option as the name alone does not convey which technique or techniques is being used. Enhancing the shape of the buttocks is primarily Read More…
Buttock augmentation has evolved over the last two decades in two different volumetric treatment approaches. Injectable fat grafting has become the most common method of buttock augmentation due to the combined benefits of reductive body contouring and gluteal enlargement. Concurrently, buttock implant techniques have evolved with intramuscular pocket locations and improved implant materials and sizes Read More…
The intergluteal incision is the most commonly used approach for the placement of buttock implants. As long as the incision does not extend up higher than the most vertical level of the buttock cleft it remains well hidden. While the intergluteal incision is not vertically excessive (usually no longer than 7 cms) it is in Read More…
As the popularity of buttock augmentation has soared over the past decade, the need for hip augmentation has also arisen. No form of buttock augmentation, whether it is by implants or fat injections, can successfully provide substantial hip augmentation. Buttock implants certainly can not regardless of whether they are even placed in the subfascial tissue Read More…
While breast implants are the most commonly performed aesthetic body implant, buttock implants are a very distant second to them. Besides being very much lower in the numbers of procedures performed, the silicone implants used to do them are also different. Silicone breast implants are composed of two layers, an outer solid silicone shell or Read More…
When fat injections are not an option for buttock augmentation, or have not been successful, implants are the sole remaining treatment option. When choosing buttock implants there are three fundamental decisions a patient has to make, implant size, implant shape (style) and tissue pocket location. While pocket location and implant size have a somewhat fixed Read More…
The intergluteal cleft, more commonly known as the ‘crack’, is the attached skin that forms a groove between the two buttocks. It is very similar to the breasts with the attached skin to the sternum forming a cleavage line in the chest between the breasts. The interglueal cleft is approximately 9 to 11 cms long Read More…
Buttock implants are the alternative procedure to the Brazilian Butt Lift. (buttock augmentation by fat injections) When one doesn’t have enough fat for injection or has ‘failed’ a fat injection procedure, implants are the remaining option for buttock augmentation. Once having a more checkered clinical history with a high rate of complications, buttock implants have Read More…
