Body Balance Through Buttocks Shaping

The perception of the ideal body shape has evolved significantly over the past few decades, and nowhere is this more evident than in the approach to buttocks contouring. When I first began performing body contouring procedures in the early 1980s, liposuction was a revolutionary concept, and the trend was all about slimming down. Patients overwhelmingly sought to reduce the size of their hips, thighs, and buttocks to achieve a leaner, more sculpted silhouette. The goal was a smaller derriere, in keeping with the aesthetic ideals of that era.
