Buttocks Augmentation Contouring

A nice rounded butt is a goal shared by many who exercise countless hours on step machines or run up and down staircases. And yet, the buttock area is particularly resistant to change.

Balance is the key to a desirable end point. For the man or woman who is unable to achieve their idealized buttock shape, implants can be a solution.

The definition and contour of the buttocks is due to the size and shape of the surrounding tissues. Excess and localized fat deposits of the hips, waist, lower back and upper thighs may obscure the definition and shapely contour of the buttocks. Frequently, liposculpture of any combination of the hips, waist, low back and upper thighs is done simultaneously with buttock implants to enhance the shape and contour of the buttocks.

For those who have excess sagging of the skin or folds of the buttocks, a buttock lift from above, or a local skin excision from the crease below, may be desirable. This is usually reserved for more extreme cases with the understanding that more extensive scarring will result. Generally, these scars are easily hidden within the bikini, bathing suit or undergarment lines.

The result is a more flattering, toned butt and a sleeker thigh contour. Patients are often surprised by how much buttock lifts can significantly improve their thigh appearance as well, simply from the manual lifting of sagging skin around the buttock and hip areas.
