BUTTOCK AUGMENTATION

Dr. Gary Burton is very skilled in performing buttock augmentation with fatty tissue transfer. This method has a great amount of appeal because one is using their own body fat which is transferred to their buttocks. The results are very natural. The only drawback with this technique is that fat is unpredictable. For example, all the fat that is transferred may not survive and some of it will disappear. The doctor cannot predict exactly how much will remain. However, whatever remains after a period of several months will remain permanently. In order to accomplish this procedure, the fat has to be placed in different layers so that the blood supply can get to the fat and make the fat survive. The procedure is performed so that the fat is placed deeply into the muscle in several different layers so as to create a smooth augmentation. The buttock augmentation-fatty tissue transfer allows the doctor to take fat from wherever one has excess fat with the usual places being the flank area, the outer legs, and the upper/outer buttock. It is generally recommended that individuals wear a body garment for about three to four weeks, and one may return to work in about three to five days.
