Buttock Augmentation

Buttock Augmentation Port St Lucie, typically envolves a thorough evaluation of the your goals, an assessment of your anatomy and a determination as to the best method to accomplish your augmentation. If you have ample fat stores, liposuction for sculpting and for fat transfer might be the preferred procedure for you. On the other hand, you might only be a candidate for silicone buttock implant placement if your fat is limited. The combination of implant placement coupled with liposuction and fat transfer might be the best alternative for you. Dr. Porcaro will give you his recommendations at the time of your private complimentary consultation.

How Dr Porcaro Performs Buttock Augmentation:

Buttock Augmentation Port St Lucie involves a thorough review of your goals and you unique anatomy to determine if you are a candidate for buttock augmentation. Buttock augmentation can involve a variety of surgical procedures to attain your desired degree of augmentation.

In order to maximize the amount of fat that can be harvested for fat transfer, Dr. Porcaro may recommend that you gain weight before the procedure.

If you already have sufficient amounts of fat that can be harvested for fat transfer, your buttock augmentation may be accomplished with sculpting your back, flanks, medial and lateral thighs with liposuction and strategically transferring the concentrated fat to multiple areas where you would benefit from added volume (fat). Ideally, you may need up to 1000cc of fat to sculpt and augment each buttock region when a silicone implant is not being used.

If you don't have enough fat that can be harverted for transfer, you may have no alternative but to have silicone buttock implants in order to have augmented buttocks.

For patients that have some fat that can be transferred, a combination of silicone implant placement along with liposuction and limited fat transfer will provide a satisfactory alternative.

When transferring fat, Dr Porcaro routinely uses a filtering technique to remove  fluids and  damaged fat cells. This allows Dr Porcaro to transfer concentrated, pure fat, which optimizes the "take" of the fat cells. Concentrated fat (which looks like a yellowish liquid in the syringe) is then strategically injected into multiple areas in the buttock region using blunt  fat transfer cannulas.

Most of the fat will survive and grow, resulting in the enhanced appearance of the buttocks. Some patients may need more than one treatment session, which can be performed as soon as 1-3 months after the first procedure.

If you require a silicone implant for buttock augmentation because you lack sufficient fat you can still get a very nice result.

Even though the satisfaction rate of buttock augmentation is quite high, the recovery period for fat transfer or placement of silicone implants is lenthly. You will be unable to sit, drive or work for 3 weeks while you heal.
