While exercise can help you achieve the overall body contour you desire, the buttocks may remain small and flat. Indeed, it can be quite difficult to achieve the shapely bottom you want through exercise. If you find yourself envying women who have voluptuous backsides you may benefit from butt augmentation. Through butt augmentation you can achieve a round, shapely butt! By enhancing the buttocks, the thighs and waist will appear smaller, creating an aesthetically pleasing balance to the body.

If you live in or near San Francisco, butt augmentation of the highest standard is available to you at the practice of Dr. Kimberly Henry. We urge you to take that first step toward having the enviable booty you desire by scheduling a meeting with Dr. Henry today.

Gluteal Implants

For years, many patients have been able to add volume to and improve the shape of their buttocks through the insertion of gluteal implants. Gluteal implants are so named because they are placed underneath the gluteal maximus muscles, where they integrate with the patient’s natural anatomy to produce natural-looking, aesthetically pleasing results. Gluteal implants are safe and highly effective.

Buttock Lift

In many cases, the youthful contour of the buttocks diminishes over time as the skin of the buttocks begins to sag and droop. In these cases, a buttock lift procedure may be the ideal solution. In performing buttock lift, Dr. Henry removes excess skin and tissues from the buttock region and pulls the remaining tissues upward, sculpting it into a more desirable shape. The remaining skin is then lifted and sutured into place. The patient emerges from treatment with better defined, more attractively contoured buttocks.

Liposuction and Fat Transfer

One of the most popular methods of butt augmentation at our practice in San Francisco, liposuction and fat transfer can be combined to give patients the most natural results possible. Patients who wish to add volume to their buttocks while eliminating stubborn deposits of fat from elsewhere on the body generally find this method of butt augmentation particularly appealing. Dr. Henry selectively targets isolated areas of fat on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or anywhere else on the body where fat has accumulated, removing the fat cells using a vacuum device called a cannula. This fat is then purified and injected into the buttocks, giving the gluteal region a more attractive contour. Because the patient’s own natural tissues are being used to augment the buttocks, there is no risk of rejection, as there is with implants. The patient ends up with an improved overall shape, both in the buttock region and the area from which fat was removed via liposuction.
