With the ability to gain a more robust or defined backside using implants, buttock augmentation continues to gain notoriety for both men and women in the United States. Fat grafting to the buttocks, which feels more natural and is the patients’ own tissue, has become the most common procedure for augmentation. Candidates for a butt augmentation procedure are at or near their goal weight, in good physical health, and do not smoke. Women, who are thin (less than a size four) and may not have enough fat on the body for a fat transfer, will be better candidates for buttock implants. Dr. Tsujimura, our board-certified plastic surgeon in Scottsdale, AZ will advise you on which procedure will best meet your needs during an initial consultation.
What to Expect
During your initial consultation, the current shape of the buttocks will be examined, as well as the skin tone of the patient, and the available fat tissue that can be transferred from another area of the body. The plastic surgeon will ask you how you wish your buttocks to look, and will go over the surgical options in detail. During butt augmentation surgery, the buttocks are reshaped by a prosthetic implant, or by placing fat harvested from a donor site of the abdomen or thighs. The various techniques will be discussed during your consultation.
What Are The Benefits of Buttock Augmentation?
There are many reasons why someone may pursue buttock augmentation in Scottsdale, including:
More projection and fullness: You can achieve a more rounded and curvaceous appearance after surgery.
Added lift: Many patients are looking for added perkiness in the area, which buttock augmentation can provide.
Correct abnormalities: Buttock augmentation can correct a congenital misshaping of the buttocks, as well as deformities caused by trauma.
Increased confidence: Finally feel comfortable in form-fitting clothing like bathing suits and jeans.
Who Is a Candidate For Buttock Augmentation?
Ideal candidates for surgical butt augmentation should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and at or near a healthy, stable "goal" weight. Patients considering a butt augmentation should desire added volume, projection, and a more lifted, enhanced butt shape. For patients considering a fat transfer to the buttocks, it is necessary to have an adequate amount of excess fat elsewhere on the body to harvest and transfer.

Rhinoplasty - Scottsdale, AZ - I couldn't be happier with my new nose.I hated my nose for as long as I can remember, when I looked in the mirror or at pictures of myself that's all I saw. The first time I met with Dr.Holden he pin pointed my exact issues with my nose with out my having to tell him. He was very kind and patient and answered all of my questions. While talking to him it was obvious he knew what he was talking about and was an expert in his field. I felt so comfortable and confident with him that I canceled my other consultes (with another surgon I used in the past) and scheduled by surgery for the next week. Dr.Holden also saw me at every one of my follow up appointments, not some nurse, which was very important to me and helped with my post surgery anxiety. With being 34 years old and a mother of 3 it was very important to me for my new nose to look natural. It does. I am thrilled when I look in the mirror and the people close to me have all remarked how wonderful it looks. While people that I haven't shared my surgery haven't noticed or at least not enough to say "oh my gosh you got a nose job!" I still look like me. :)
Just love this office! Serious the best staff ever and Dr. Ryan Tsujimura is AMAZING! He makes you feel so comfortable & confident! I’ve referred several of my friends and they’ve also had WONDERFUL experiences.
Dr Holden is Amazing. Definitely Book a Consultation. - Dr Holden preformed my rhinoplasty and is now one of my favorite people. He is truly a caring, compassionate and extremely talented physician. I have medical background and within minutes of meeting Dr Holden, could tell how incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable he is. The day of my surgery I was very nervous and he literally held my hand and talked everything through with me. My nose has turned out so beautifully and I will definitely post pictures when my swelling subsides a bit. I could not be happier!
If you are looking for the best, look no further! I came upon Dr. Paul Holden by word of mouth from a past patient. The idea of finding a facial plastic surgeon through an online search alone was daunting and I am incredibly grateful for this referral. I give Dr. Paul Holden and his staff a 10/10 (and I am a tough critic!). Everyone in the office and operating room was supportive, available to answer any and all questions, put my mind at ease and made me feel confident in my decision to move forward with an elective surgery. Might I add, I did my consultation via phone and did not meet Dr. Holden until the day of surgery. The downtime involved as compared the result that I received made it completely worthwhile. I am just two weeks post-op and could not possibly be any happier with the entire experience. I had an in person consultation with another surgeon who told me to come see him in 10 years for the procedure. Why would I want to spend my 40’s not looking the best I could? Dr. Holden is kind, intelligent, personable and a very talented surgeon. He is well respected and admired by his staff. A testament to the type of person Dr. Holden is:Three days after my surgery my five year old son had an accident and required stitches on his face and inside his mouth. I went out on a limb and called the office to see if he could stitch he him up rather than going to the ER. One hour later I was in his office getting my little guy all fixed up. He was booked with back to back appointments yet he spent nearly an hour stitching my son’s face up perfectly. Two weeks later he has only a light pink scar. I can’t imagine what the result may have been had I gone to the emergency room.

After the Surgery
The recovery following butt augmentation surgery will vary for patients depending on the type of procedure that was performed. Patients will need to rest for a couple of days to allow the swelling to subside. Any pain or discomfort can be managed with prescription pain mediation. During the first couple of weeks, patients will need to avoid sitting or placing direct pressure on the buttocks and will need to sleep on their side or stomach. A soft cushion will help if sitting is needed. Most patients are able to return to work after the first week, and exercise can be resumed within six weeks.

About UsButtock Augmentation FAQs
Does it Look Fake?
If the fat is placed correctly, the buttocks will look and feel natural. It is important to find a reputable, skilled surgeon to perform the surgery who has expertise with fat grafting to the buttocks. Done correctly, fat augmentation looks like you have spent hours at the gym!
Fat Transfer or Implants?
Both techniques are common among aesthetic surgeons and both achieve good results. The biggest factor is on how long you wish the enhancement to last and how natural you want it to feel. Implants are long lasting and may be better if you want the look to stay for a long time. However, they are palpable and may cause discomfort. Fat transfers uses your own body's fat and has a more natural look and feel. Some of the fat used during this process may be reabsorbed into the body. It is important to discuss the advantages and disadvantages with your surgeon and come to an agreement based on your aesthetic goals and anatomy.
Can I Sit?
Yes. Patients are able to resume sitting and doing all of the things they did before surgery. It may take up to three months for all of the swelling to subside. It is common for patients to have some anxiety about sitting or how much pressure to place on the buttocks. This should not be a major concern because after healing, the body incorporated the fat tissue permanently.
What if I Gain Weight?
Obviously, the best long-term results will be in those patients who maintain a healthy goal weight. Gaining weight after this surgery will compromise the surgery results because during weight gain, fat accumulates throughout the body. This may, in turn, reduce the definition. By maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine, the results will continue to last.
