The size and fullness of the buttocks can be enlarged with either natural fat injection /grafting/ transfer or with Buttock Implants. The combined technique of fat transfer and body contouring through liposculpture is otherwise known as the "Brazilian Butt Lift".
Brazilian Butt Lift or Buttock Augmentation with fat grafting or injection involves harvesting your own body fat from other areas of excess and transferring it into the buttock tissue. For example excess fat in the flanks, hips, lower back, thighs, or abdomen is liposuctioned, processed and then injected into the muscle and soft tissue of your buttocks. During this fat grafting process the buttocks can be contoured to the desired shape and size. The fullness and projection of the buttocks can be greatly increased by laying many fine layers of micro-fat grafts throughout the thickness of the Gluteal muscle and the subcutaneous tissue. Because some of this fat does reabsorb, fat injection might need to be repeated.
How is Buttock Augmentation with Fat Grafting or Injection Performed?
This procedure is performed under general anesthesia, on an outpatient basis. First liposuction is performed to shape the buttocks. If there is excess fat in the thighs, flanks, hips, or the abdomen, they are liposuctioned. The suctioned fat is then processed and injected in very thin layers in the buttock muscle and the subcutaneous tissue. Fat grafting has to be performed very meticulously to increase the chance of survival of the grafted fat cells. The injected fat has to be carefully added in order to achieve the desired contour and profile. Because approximately 30% of the injected fat dissolves, grafting is usually exaggerated and at times repeated several months later. Compression garments are worn for several weeks after surgery in order to help form the buttocks as well as to reduce swelling.

How to Choose a Plastic Surgeon to Do Your Liposuction in Beverly Hills?
You would not select an auto mechanic to perform root canal. Similarly, you should not jeopardize the outcome of your liposuction procedure, or your well being, by choosing anyone less than the most qualified plastic surgeon.
While many states allow any licensed physician to perform cosmetic surgery, that does not mean all physicians are competent to do so. In some states, even dentists are lobbying to perform cosmetic procedures. Because liposuction is major surgery, you should place your life in the hands of the most qualified and skilled plastic surgeon. You should also choose a surgeon who will show you solid "Before and After" examples of his or her work, and whose artistic sense is in sync with the results that you are seeking.
In choosing a surgeon to perform liposuction, you should first choose one who has been certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS): www.abplsurg.org). This assures that surgeon has endured the most rigorous training possible, including three to five years of training in general surgery and two years of training in plastic surgery. Beware of those physicians who claim to be "board certified" cosmetic surgeons. This may mean that they have taken a brief weekend course in a procedure, but does not guarantee the competence that the American Board of Plastic Surgery ensures. Ideally, you will choose a surgeon who has extensive liposuction surgery experience, not only experience in plastic surgery in general. Liposuction, like sculpturing, is an art that is learned through experience, but can only be perfected by the plastic surgeon who has an eye and feel for body proportions and contour. This ultimate expert in liposuction can perceive your body contours and the thickness of fat just by feel. In essence, you should choose a physician who is also a sculptor.
In a "Practice Advisory on Liposuction- Executive Summary" published on March 15, 2003, The American Society of Plastic Surgery states the following regarding Training and Qualifications for liposuction:
Physicians performing liposuction must be trained as surgeons. A surgeon’s scope of practice is defined by one of the 10 surgical boards recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS);
Surgeons performing procedures outside of his/her area of training, defined by the surgeon’s specialty, must obtain additional education, certification and experience. The ABMS surgeon must have liposuction and body contouring training as well as operate in his/her area of anatomic expertise. The physician who performs liposuction in any surgical setting must meet all of the following minimal formal training requirements:
Basic Education: M.D. or D.O.
Be qualified for examination or be certified by a surgical board recognized by the ABMS: andi. Complete training in liposuction/body contouring during an accredited residency or fellowship; orii. Complete an eight-hour liposuction/body contouring training course approved for Category I CME credit with at least three hours of hands-on bio-skills cadaver training and a comprehensive instructional program on fluid replacement. Observation by a proctor with liposuction privileges for the first three clinical procedures is recommended.
Operate within his/her area of training and area of anatomic expertise, which is defined by his/her ABMS Surgical Specialty Board.
A physician should have the primary responsibility for providing and/or supervising anesthesia. A physician should order all anesthesias. Anesthetics may be administered by a qualified physician, a CRNA under physician supervision, or by another qualified health care provider under the supervision of a qualified physician as required by law. The responsible physician must be physically present in the operating room throughout the conduct of the anesthetic.

Why Liposuction has become so popular in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles?
Traditionally, all plastic surgery procedures, including liposuction were only affordable to the famous celebrities of Beverly Hills. That is no longer true! With the advent of plastic surgery financing and a relative reduction in liposuction costs and fees, most people can now afford body contouring, including liposuction and tummy tuck surgery. Furthermore, more and more people are now caring about the way they look; men want the chiseled abs and women want the hourglass figure. People are no longer satisfied with what God gave them or what they might achieve with exercise and dieting alone. They want the perfect body!
With liposuction ("lipectomy") or liposculpture, they can now shape their face, neck, chest, arms, abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, back, and calves. Under the care of Dr. Sean Younai, a board certified Los Angeles liposuction specialist, they can choose a combination of liposuction and fat grafting to get the perfect buttocks with the Brazilian Butt lift.

Liposuction for Plus Size People
Are you size 10 or more?
Unfortunately, many plastic surgeons don’t put in the time and effort to remove the maximum amount of fat that can be safely removed at one setting. That’s why they might tell you to loss weight first before having liposuction. What’s the point in that! I believe that if your weight has been stable and you are dedicated to stay healthy and to maintain your weight, a plastic surgeon should be able to help you with the initial phase of weight loss and body reshaping. Many people who are large have a difficult time getting started with their weight loss or can not see a significant difference in their appearance even after loosing 30-50 lbs. If a plastic surgeon can give you that initial major change in appearance, this could give you more motivation to continue losing weight and to maintain a beautiful figure.
As a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon I have had much experience with the safe removal of large volumes of fat in one session. It is not unusual for most of my patients to go down several sizes, or to be able to fit back into their old clothes. Having fought weight problems all my life, I can’t tell you how excited I get when I see my patients come back wearing fitted clothing with a proportionate figure. They deserve it! They feel and look like a million! This boosts their confidence and encourages them to continue to better themselves and to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Large-volume liposuction is not a pill you take nor is it a magic wand. It is real surgery like any other surgery. And just like any surgery it carries potential risks; therefore, the decision to undergo such surgery should be taken seriously.

Who can benfit from Liposuction in Beverly Hills?
Three categories of men and women seek Liposuction to achieve their ideal appearance, after trying unsuccessfully to do so through diet and exercise.
The first category of patients includes those who wish to reduce their size, including women who have gained weight due to pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations or medications. This category also includes men and women who undergo Large Volume Liposuction. Normally, Liposuction involves the removal of about two litres of fat, about the size of a "Coke" bottle. During Large Volume Liposuction, however, five or more litres of fat are removed – resulting in a dramatic reduction in size.
The second category includes those who have disproportionate areas of fat in their abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, knees, cheeks and neck. These problem areas are commonly known as "saddlebags," "thunder thighs," "love handles" and "double chins." Often, these stubborn areas of fat have genetic origins, and cannot be reduced by diet and exercise.
The third category of patients includes men who suffer from Gynecomastia, excessive breast growth due to the enlargement of breast glands, and excess fatty tissue.
In all cases, men and women who undergo Liposculpture should have had a stabilized weight for at least six months. Liposuction is not a solution for ridding of stretch marks or of cellulite.
