Buttocks Augmentation in Austin, TX

Butt Augmentation Can Give You a Fuller, More Voluptuous Bottom

Wish you had a bottom you could show off in a bikini, body-hugging skirt or jeans?
Tired of having a flat butt your entire life or have you noticed that your bottom has starting sagging with age or weight loss?

Genetics do not always endow some women with round, curvaceous buttocks. The truth of the matter is, sometimes no matter how much you work out, you will not get the butt you desire. If this is your situation, then you may be a candidate for buttocks augmentation through fat transfer.

Transfer unwanted fat to your butt (where you want it)

A procedure that kills two birds with one stone. Take unwanted fat from areas of your body and then transfer that fat into your butt where you want it. Buttocks augmentation is ideal for patients who are overweight (size 6 to 12), since there is adequate fat to transfer from the abdomen to the buttocks area. Cosmetic surgeon Lawrence Broder MD does not recommend petite and thin women (size 0 to 4) undergo this procedure since there is not enough excess fat on these body types for a successful transfer.

How Buttocks Augmentation Works

Cosmetic surgeon Lawrence Broder MD will assess the patient’s body to determine the best donor site for harvesting fat. Typically, excess fat is collected from the hips, lower back, thighs or abdomen. Once donor sites are decided upon, Dr. Broder uses liposuction to extract excess fat (between a quarter and three quarters of a pound).

After extracting the fat, it will be filtered and processed. Next, through a series of injections, the fat is placed into layers of the buttock’s gluteal muscle and soft tissue, until the desired shape is achieved. Fat grafting must be added in a series of injections to carefully sculpt the buttocks’ contour and fullness profile.

Given that at least thirty percent of fat is dissolved back into the body, Dr. Broder will inject more fat into the buttocks to ensure the shape survives over time. Dr. Broder will also perform body sculpting above the buttocks to further accentuate their new increased profile.

What to Expect From Buttocks Augmentation

All buttocks augmentation procedures are outpatient surgery; they are performed under oral sedation and local anesthesia. Anesthesia is given around your fat donor site and the buttocks area. Patients are awake during the operation but feel no pain.

Buttocks Augmentation After Treatment

After surgery, it is normal for swelling and tenderness in the buttocks area to last for several weeks. To help mold your buttocks’ shape and reduce post-operative swelling, Dr. Broder will prescribe patients to wear a compression garment. To rest comfortably while your buttocks heals, we recommend having several body pillows or foam contour pillows on hand so you can sleep comfortably. Most patients resume normal activities and return to work within 2 weeks.

Testimonial - “I wrote my first review back in April 2010 after I had undergone my first procedure for the inner and outer thighs, back of thighs and lower hip areas. I was a little impatient at first throughout the healing process, but my eyes were opened once I took a second set of “After” pictures. Dr. Broder kindly e-mailed me the pictures, and I could see a noticeable difference in my inner thighs, and my buttocks seemed a lot smaller. With my genetics, that is no small task!” Read more of our reviews here.
