Buttocks Augmentation (Butt Implants) Before and After Pictures by Robert Rho, M.D., F.A.A.C.S.

In a fat transfer to the buttocks, fat cells are removed from parts of the body where the patient has fat to spare like the back, stomach, thighs and flanks. The fat is then injected into the buttocks to create a fuller and rounder butt. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia by a cosmetic surgery doctors or board-certified plastic surgery doctors and takes about one and a half to two hours.

Celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, and even Kate Middleton have sparked an emerging trend in butt augmentation procedures. Plastic surgeons around the world are noticing an increasing demand for buttock implants and butt lifts, and many patients are finding that the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure is especially effective for creating a natural, sculpted look. Unlike butt implants, the Brazilian butt lift involves using the patient’s own body fat to add volume to the buttocks. This can help to create long-lasting and more natural-looking results.
