What is a Buttock Augmentation?

Butt augmentation is a procedure that enhances the size and appearance of one’s gluteal area.

Fat Transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift)

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) uses your own fat to improve the shape and size of your buttocks instead of implants. During the procedure, excess fat is removed from areas such as your abdomen, sides, thighs, or back using liposuction. The fat is then cleaned and carefully injected into your buttocks to add fullness and shape, while keeping a soft, natural feel.

A major benefit of fat transfer buttock augmentation is that it not only enhances your buttocks but also slims and shapes the areas from which the fat is taken. This helps many patients achieve a more balanced figure and an hourglass shape.

Butt Implants

Butt implants use soft silicone to increase the size and shape of your buttocks. This is a good option if you do not have enough extra body fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift but still want a fuller, rounder look.

Implants can add more noticeable volume and help balance the shape of your buttocks while keeping your body looking natural. Dr. Ackerman selects the right implant size and placement for you based on your body and your goals.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Buttock Augmentation?

The best candidates for buttock augmentation are healthy people who want to improve the size, shape, or projection of their buttocks for a more balanced look. Ideal candidates:

  • Are in good overall physical health
  • Maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle
  • Feel their buttocks appear flat, asymmetrical, or lack projection
  • Have enough excess fat for fat transfer

What Are the Benefits of a Buttock Augmentation?

Increase Your Butt Fullness

For many women, full, shapely buttocks are a symbol of femininity and sensuality. When the gluteal area lacks fullness, it can appear undefined. Butt augmentation with implants or fat transfer can help you achieve a fuller backside. For many women, this helps them fit into pants more easily and opens up a wider range of clothing to choose from.

Restore Balance to Your Figure

A small butt may be preventing you from having attractive curves. For some, curves are an important aspect of creating a proportionate figure. Your buttocks may lack definition in comparison to the rest of your body.

Enhance Your Confidence

For many women, achieving sensual curves helps them feel more attractive. Feeling comfortable and happy with your body often boosts your confidence. Having better self-esteem can help you be more assertive and hands-on in your life. Many women find that their newfound confidence dramatically affects their success in other areas of their lives.

Combining My Buttock Augmentation with Other Procedures

Many will choose to combine buttock augmentation with other body contouring procedures for more balanced results.

Breast augmentation is often done together with buttock augmentation to create a more balanced body shape and highlight curves. By adding volume to both the upper and lower body, many patients achieve a more sculpted, hourglass look.

Buttock Augmentation Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Buttock Augmentation Care

You will experience some bruising, swelling, and redness after the procedure. Direct pressure cannot be applied to the buttocks for eight weeks. For the first two weeks following your procedure, you should avoid sitting or lying on your back at all times. After this time, you may attempt a sitting position using a pillow to take pressure off the buttocks.

Most major swelling should subside after three months. By this time, you should be able to resume your normal activities, including sitting and exercise, but only with surgeon approval.

    Life changing facelift!

    Dr. Ackerman did a deep plane facelift, a lip lift, and a brow lift on me. I was about to turn 60 and I figured it would be now or never. I have struggled with a thin face and started having substantial sagging and Fillers were beginning to make me look unnatural and pillowy. I am thrilled to be able to say that I couldn’t be happier.

    Amazing Experience

    Immediately after seeing 3 other plastic surgeons for consultation, my parents and I knew Dr. Ackerman was the surgeon for us. He has an amazing and trustworthy staff, who we felt very welcomed by. When we met with him so he could give me a consultation for my nose, he was very honest about some of the setbacks that may come with my particular surgery.

    Like refreshed versions of themselves

    Dr. Ackerman is an exceptional surgeon. I had reviewed his before-and-after photos beforehand, and it was clear that his patients looked like refreshed versions of themselves—not like entirely different people. That was exactly the outcome I wanted, and it’s exactly what I received.
