Individuals who struggle with stubborn deposits of fat in various areas of the body often turn to cosmetic plastic surgery procedures, such as liposuction. Over the years, technologies and techniques have advanced in order to provide patients with a more pleasant experience during and after their procedure. One of the most widely used methods, VASER liposuction is now updating its technology to allow surgeons to better harvest the fat suctioned for fat grafting.

An experienced fat transfer specialist, Constantino G. Mendieta, M.D., F.A.C.S. uses the VASER technique when performing buttock augmentation and body sculpting procedures. He removes fat from the abdomen, hips, and thighs in order to provide patients with a slender figure. The fat is then harvested and injected into the buttocks to achieve a more voluptuous, enhanced contour. The ultrasound technology allows Dr. Mendieta to sculpt the body, leaving patients with a smooth outcome. According to a recent article, he says “Everything about VASER technology, from the non-cutting cannula to the energy delivery, promotes a gentler procedure, which in turn boosts fat viability.” Newer VASER systems, such as the PureGraft 250, can now help better harvest the fat that is to be used for transferring.

If you are interested in undergoing liposuction with fat transfer for butt augmentation, you may browse Dr. Mendieta’s website. He offers butt implants for those who do not have enough fat for natural enhancement.

With the number of butt augmentation procedures on the rise, one in particular has grown in popularity. The Brazilian butt lift. The name itself conjures up sexy images of warm Rio De Janeiro beaches packed with women wear skimpy thong bikinis. The name is fitting however. Brazil is a country that emphasizes the importance of having a nice shapely butt. So why not name a butt lift procedure after it?

Different from butt implants, a butt lift involves a process called fat transfer. In this process, fat is taken from unwanted areas (i.e. hips, thighs, love handles) and transferred to the buttocks. This surgery is extremely skill-intense, meaning it is the skill of the surgeon that will determine how successful the outcome will be.

The Brazilian butt lift varies from other buttock enhancement procedures, as it mainly focuses on the upper part of the butt, giving it that desired ‘lifted’ look. This can not only help out women in their 40’s and 50’s, but also younger women who are seeking that perkier looking backside.
