The most important thing in this procedure is not to get the “biggest butt”, but to create the best looking waist-hips-butt area. When patients bring in pictures of what they want to look like, invariably the models shown have small waists and a curvy transition between the lower back and butt. The butt doesn’t have to be that large as long as that transition area has a nice looking curve. The increased contrast between the lower back and the buttock itself, as well as the curvy transition between them, enhance the appearance of the buttock.
If you then augment the buttock with fat taken from the love handles area, the results can be spectacular.
To be an ideal candidate you need to be able to fit certain criteria
- You must be in good health
- Your expectations must be realistic. For a very large increase in butt volume you may need more than one treatments
- You must have enough useable fat. Most patients over-estimate the amount of fat that can be used. You need to remember that we cannot take all the existing fat and transfer it to your butt. Some fat needs to stay behind to ensure that the area from which the fat was taken does not look deformed. Patients often point to specific areas of fat deposits and ask for all of it to be taken away. In such a case image if an ice-cream scoop being used and removing ALL the fat. Can you picture the scooped out hole that would be left? For that reason some fat always has to be left behind.
