Normal aging causes our buttocks to droop and change shape. But because several high profile movies stars, including J-Lo (Jennifer Lopez) and Beyonce underwent buttock enhancement to make their derrieres curvier and more round, many more women are now asking their plastic surgeons about butt augmentation. And it’s no wonder: in virtually all cultures, shapely buttocks have always been one of the most important determinants of the female figure. Moreover, modern fashions reveal more body parts, making us more aware of our imperfections, however slight. Yet another factor driving women to plastic surgeons for butt augmentation is actually too much working out and athletics. Some women are so physically fit, they have lost virtually all the fat from their buns, making those rear ends too flat.
Butt augmentation, (also known as Gluteal Lifts, Gluteoplasty and Gluteal Shaping) involves harvesting fat from more fleshy areas of the body and replanting it on the buttocks, a technique known as “fat grafting.” Some practitioners harvest fat from the sides of the buttocks to make the patient’s rear end narrower while making the peak of the butt more pronounced. Of course, the outcome of the procedure depends on the patient’s wishes, the surgeon’s experience and the patient’s anatomy which will be either round, square V or A-shaped.
