Fat transplantation is the most common procedure used to enhance the overall appearance, shape, and size of the buttocks. It is sometimes referred to as a Brazilian Butt Lift. Our surgeon in Virginia Beach will determine the areas from which to harvest the fat cells and perform liposuction first. These areas are usually the abdomen and hips, but may include your back or thighs. Next, the removed fat cells are processed. Your fat is purified and reinjected into your buttocks at different depths to achieve the results you desire. Oftentimes, our surgeon will fine-tune your new look with additional liposculpting techniques. Not only do patients achieve a “perkier butt,” but another bonus is that the areas of liposuction will often be leaner and more proportional to the rest of the body.
If Dr. Carney agrees, implants may be another option for some patients. The implants, usually made of solid silicone, are surgically inserted into each buttock to enhance their shape and size. This option is usually selected for thin patients when desired results cannot be achieved with fat injections alone. Our surgeon will recommend the most suitable procedure to achieve the attractive, well-defined buttock results you desire.
