Conroe - Woodlands - Houston - Kingwood TX Buttock Augmentation - Wilberto G. Cortés, M.D.

    Buttock augmentation  is the procedure to enhance or augment the gluteal area. The use of fat grafting techniques have revolutionized the butt augmentation field. It is safer and requires less downtime than gluteal implants. The fat grafting  technique allows the surgeon to use the patient's own cells. The fat is removed from the abdomen, hips, thigh, or lower back; then, it is processed and purified so that only a percentage of the fat will be reinjected. The purified fat is then injected into different areas and depths so that the patient get s longer lasting results.  Dr. Cortés injects most of the fat inside the muscle of the buttock. This will provide the best level for fat injection because the blood supply at this level will be optimal for fat survival. The correct injection method is crucial to achieve a uniform, smooth and natural appearance.

    The surgery is typically done under general anesthesia, lasts three to four (3-4) hours, and is done in the hospital or as an outpatient (same day discharge). You  cannot sit directly on your buttock for 10 -14 days. This will ensure a better chance of permanent results. Most people will be able to return to work intwo weeks. A special garment must be worn for four weeks.
