Buttock Enhancement
The Chicagoland Center for Cosmetic Surgery offers a variety of buttock augmentation options that are tailored to your specific needs.
1) Buttock Implants. Buttock implants have come a long way. They have a more natural feel than earlier implants and are more comfortable.
The best candidates for butt implants are thin patients with little body fat who have no sagging and do not require a buttock lift. the patient on the right fits that desription and is best served with gluteal implants.
Our Buttock Implants Chicago program allows patients to try butt implants of different sizes and shapes before surgery.
2) Buttock Lift. The patient shown below is a 66 year-old female who has significant sagging of the buttock as well as loss of gluteal volume. A butt implant alone would not help this patient.
Our Buttock Lift Chicago procedure shown above, is rather unique in Chicago. In this procedure, a flap of the patient's own tissues is used instead of an implant. this tissue is placed in a gluteal pocket following a traditional buttock lift.
3) Brazilian Butt Lift. If a patient has significant fat aroud the thighs, flanks and back- a butt implant alone will not be enough (see below). In these cases liposuction of the flanks, thighs and back is needed so as to give the buttock enhancement more contrast and contour.
The Brazilian Butt Lift, as seen below, fullfils these requirements. In the Brazilian butt lift,the patient's own fat is suctioned from one part of the body to re-sculpt the buttock, as seen here. Fat transfer feels more natural than buttock implants and will never migrate. The Brazilian butt lift does not really "lift" the butt, it liposculpts the butt. The Brazilian butt lift would not be possible in cases 1 and 2 discussed above.
