Buttock Augmentation Pittsburgh

To enhance the buttock area, fat can be removed from the abdomen, back, thighs, and/or flanks, rinsed and purified and injected into the gluteal region. Although additional volume is important, what is taken away also creates the nice, round shape. Emphasizing a thin waist by maximal fat removal in the flank and lower back area is the first step and then the addition of fat into the buttocks to give more projection and roundness laterally is the second step. Fat is ideal because there is little chance for a rejection, extrusion or infection. However, as with any fat transfer some re-absorption always occurs, roughly 16 to 20%.

Dr. Pautler usually transfers anywhere from 250 to 900 cc’s, depending on the patient’s size and desires and amount of fat available.
