What is a Buttock Augmentation/Lift?
A buttock augmentation and butt lift are two procedures that can enhance the appearance of the buttocks to add volume, improve contours, and create overall body balance. An augmentation does this with the use of implants, while a Brazilian butt lift uses the patients own fat cells harvested through liposuction techniques for re-contouring.

Candidates for a Buttock Augmentation/Lift
Candidates for a buttock augmentation or lift are those who are unhappy with the size or contour of their buttocks and wish to improve their overall body balance. Those who want a significant increase can opt for an augmentation with implants, while those who wish for more subtle improvements might choose a fat transfer augmentation. To be a sucessful candidate for a fat transfer, patients must have enough excess fat in other areas such as the abdomen or thighs.
