Enhanced Appearance.
Butt augmentation can enhance the appearance of the buttocks, adding volume and improving the shape. It can help achieve a more balanced and youthful appearance, giving you the full, curvy backside you've always wanted.
Increased Confidence.
A shapelier and lifted backside can boost your confidence. It helps you embrace your curves and feel more attractive.
Improved Body Proportions.
Butt augmentation can improve body proportions by creating a more voluptuous figure. It can help balance out the upper and lower body, creating a more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing silhouette. This improvement is even clearer when combined with other cosmetic procedures, like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation.
Better Fit.
Butt augmentation can improve the fit of clothes and swimwear. It can improve how clothes fit and look on your body. This lets you wear tight clothes and bikinis with confidence.
Natural-Looking Results.
You can perform butt augmentation using fat transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift) or implants. Both options can give natural-looking results. Fat transfer is the most common method because it feels and looks natural.
Long-Lasting Results.
Butt augmentation can provide long-lasting results, allowing you to enjoy your enhanced buttocks for years to come. With proper care and maintenance, the results can be permanent, giving you a fuller and more shapely backside for a lifetime.
Butt Augmentation Surgery
Buttock augmentation is a surgical procedure that lifts, adds volume, and enhances the shape of the buttocks. In the Bay Area, Dr. Fan provides two methods for buttock augmentation. These are implants and fat transfer, also called Brazilian Butt Lift surgery.
Patients with loose or sagging buttocks can also combine the procedure with a buttock lift. Dr. Fan's goal is to create a natural-looking, voluptuous shape and size for his patients.
Implants
During the plastic surgery procedure, we make small incisions in the well-hidden center crease of the buttocks. Surgeons insert solid silicone implants, either round or oval in shape, above or within the buttock muscle. Surgeons close the incisions in layers, and they may use bandages, support garments, and drainage tubes to aid in the healing process.
Butt implants are most appropriate for thin individuals who do not have enough fat for a fat transfer procedure. Implants can enhance the figure and create extra curves in patients who desire a fuller, more voluptuous backside.
Fat Transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift)
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a popular procedure for enlarging the buttocks. It uses the patient's own fat cells to improve the shape and size. Surgeons take fat from areas of the body like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, or lower back.
They clean it and inject it into the buttocks. This gives a more natural look and feel. The procedure typically takes three to five hours and doctors can perform it on an outpatient basis.
Am I a Candidate for Buttock Augmentation?
Ideal candidates for buttock augmentation want a fuller and rounder backside. This includes people with square, sagging, or flat buttocks. These issues can happen because of age or weight loss.
The procedure is suitable for both thin and curvy body shapes. Doctors may ask thin patients to gain weight before the procedure. They may help obese patients lose weight for the best results. Patients should adhere to a healthy lifestyle and be able to maintain a stable weight.
How Long is Butt Augmentation Recovery?
The recovery process after buttock augmentation varies depending on the procedures performed. After surgery, doctors may use bandages, support garments, and drainage tubes to aid in the healing process. You can expect bruising, swelling, numbness, and discomfort, and the doctor will prescribe medication for pain control.
Dr. Fan will provide specific instructions on positioning and activity to avoid pressure on the buttocks. Doctors recommend using a pillow when sitting to avoid direct pressure on the buttocks for 2-3 weeks. Most patients can return to work within one or two weeks, and they can usually resume driving in two weeks.
Patients with active lifestyles should avoid exercise, especially gluteal exercises, for 4-8 weeks after surgery. You can see the final results of buttock augmentation three to six months after the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are implants or fat transfer better for buttock augmentation?
Both implants and fat transfer can work well for buttock augmentation. The best choice depends on your needs and body type.
Fat transfer, or the Brazilian Butt Lift, is a popular option for achieving a natural look and feel. First, we take body fat from areas like the lower back, hips, or love handles. We then purify and inject it into the buttocks for shape and volume.
On the other hand, implants are suitable for thin patients without enough fat for transfer. We place solid silicone implants above or within the buttock muscle to improve the figure and create extra curves. Discuss the difference between implants and fat transfer with a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon.
2. Where does the fat come from for the Brazilian Butt Lift?
We take fat from areas of the patient's own body — typically the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, and lower back. These areas are chosen based on the availability of excess fat and the desired outcome for the buttocks.
Surgeons carefully remove fat using a special liposuction and fat transfer technique. They also remove any excess fat from the sides to enhance curves. Then, they purify the harvested fat and inject it into the buttocks to shape and add volume.
3. How long does the Brazilian Butt Lift in San Francisco take?
The Brazilian Butt Lift procedure typically takes three to five hours to complete. The exact duration can vary depending on the individual patient and the extent of the augmentation desired. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
4. What are some of the risks involved with the Brazilian Butt Lift?
Like any surgical procedure, there are potential post-operative risks associated with the Brazilian Butt Lift. These risks can include bleeding, infection, scarring, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
5. Can my buttock implants leak?
No, buttock implants used in the United States are made of solid silicone and cannot break or leak into the body. These implants are specifically designed to be safe and durable, providing long-lasting results.
