HOW DOES IT WORK?
Fat is liposuctioned carefully from around the abdomen and waist and lower back and sometimes other areas. The fat grafts are carefully separated out and then injected precisely into the buttocks area to create fullness. I tell my patients to imagine they are made of clay – the clay is scooped from around the waist and areas where there is excess and then placed and shaped into the buttocks.
RECOVERY?
The recovery is much easier than most people think. The procedure is performed through very tiny incisions so there is almost no scar. Most patients are sore for a few days like they did an intense workout but very rarely need pain meds for longer than that. I do require patients not to put pressure direct pressure on their buttocks for a month and they have to wear a special garment for 6 weeks.
