Let’s continue this week’s article with a quiz:
Quiz Question:
Which of the following is currently the most common technique used for cosmetic buttocks augmentation in the United States?
A) Silicone buttock implants
B) Fat transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift)
C) Injectable fillers
D) External suction devices
E) Hormonal injections
Correct Answer:
B) Fat transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift) – This technique uses a patient’s own purified fat, harvested through liposuction, to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks. It remains the most popular method because it achieves natural-looking results while also slimming donor areas.
Over my forty years in an aesthetic plastic surgery practice, my main areas of interest and expertise are microfat grafting, body contouring and breast surgery. When it comes to body contouring, achieving balance and harmony is the ultimate goal. One area that has received increasing attention over the past few decades is the buttocks. While trends have varied, patients consistently desire a shape that looks natural and proportionate to their body.
