Of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but to many, age is perceived as the enemy of beauty. When it comes to the buttock, aging often results in a loss of perkiness and volume in specific areas.
There have been many studies evaluating the perfect behind from Brazil, and this knowledge has allowed well trained plastic surgeons to understand the aesthetic goals and skillfully recreate a youthful bottom. For instance, when women wear high heels, two things happened: For one, the legs appear longer, and two, the arch of the back is exaggerated which gives the illusion of a firmer buttock. This is called ‘hyper-lordosis’ and is a very attractive feature in women which is created with posture, high heels, or yes, even plastic surgery.
A better butt can be created with your own unwanted fat. I prefer using a combination of liposuction above and below the buttock and take fat from the flanks or belly. This fat is then processed in the operating room and injected into the buttock mounds. The goal is to restore projection and perkiness. The results are immediate, dramatic, and long lasting. And there are virtually no visible scars.
Abdominoplasty, or ‘tummy-tuck’ is an excellent option to remove the ‘pudge’ below the belly button, particularly after pregnancy when the muscles separate. This is often combined with liposuction. The unwanted fat from lipo can be used to plump up the buttock – something that was suggested to the patient below. Or, the unwanted fat can be placed into the face to restore youth.
