Fat Grafting by OC Plastic Surgeon Dr. von Maur…
In need of a Voluptuous Bikini-Ready Butt?
“Father Time” may offer us all opportunities, but demands and captures our exuberant youthful appearance. Although culture plays a significant role in our description of a Beautiful Butt, the butts aging process crosses all ethnic back grounds. The gluteal muscles begin to atrophy, diminished collagen and elastin help the sagging process, hormones and lack of circulation help cellulite to appear, loss of volume creates a flat butt. Plastic Surgery of the buttocks (liposuction) would permanently restore and create harmonious natural balance and is often synchronized with fat grafting.
But what is FAT GRAFTING?
Micro-fat grafting, or autologous transfer, involves harvesting fat from one part of the body (usually the flanks, hips, abdomen, thighs or lower back), and then re-injected into the needed areas. Fat grafting may have to be done more than once since fat survival varies with location: it is is best in areas which exhibit the least movement. For example, fat grafts in the cheeks survive better than in the lips or Buttocks. Furthermore, graft survival is variable from one patient to the other. Fat grafting carries a very low risk of complications which may include infection, asymmetry, or lumpiness. These occurrences are rarely seen. The advantage is that it is your own natural tissue, it is soft and it is permanent.
