Buttocks Augmentation
Buttocks enlargement or augmentation involves placing a silicone gel implant inside the muscle of the buttocks or placing the harvested fat from the abdomen, injected on the fatty layer of the buttocks. Most women seeking this procedure would only want to have an increase in the projection of the buttocks; however, some would like to have this done to correct asymmetry in size.
At Faces & Curves, the procedure usually starts with a comprehensive and individualised approach to buttocks augmentation surgery, noting the patient’s concern and safety as the top priority. Patients are then evaluated giving emphasis on their present medical conditions. Allergies, bleeding problems and medications taken are to be reviewed and when needed a cardio-pulmonary clearance will be required. Dr. Recasata will then provide you with the comprehensive information you need, for you to decide on the perfect procedure that would match your concern.
