By Dr. Chris Patronella
About 15 to 20 years ago, a trend began for disproportionately large buttocks. In the video, you can see a photo featured in the New York Post of a woman who experienced regret after having the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) done. I want to compare that to what I consider to be ideal.
This is a patient whom I treated recently, performing a True Form Buttock Lift™ (lower body lift) to improve the contours and proportions of her lower body. The incision is concealed beneath the underwear line.
She was treated with both thinning of the waist area and fat grafting of the buttocks along with the buttock lift in order to create that nice, round, proportionate buttock. From the side you can see that this area commonly referred to as a “hip dip” has been filled out, and the buttock has shapely proportions.
You might also note that a True Form Tummy Tuck® was performed at the same time. That 360-degree improvement in body contour is what I seek to do for each patient that I see. In the back view, the excess of the torso is apparent with relatively small buttocks and thighs in comparison. So my goal is to thin all of the torso, then lift the buttock, and add to the buttock in order to improve the shape as well as create a proportionate look between the upper and lower body, You can see the dramatic improvement in the back views. In the side view comparison, the flattened buttocks and hip dip have been filled out, creating an attractive rounded effect, the torso has been thinned, and the abdomen is flatter.
So I just wanted to review the elements of my True Form Buttock Lift ™, particularly in regards to fat grafting to the buttocks in conjunction with the lifting aspect of the procedure. Fear not—if I recommend fat grafting to the buttocks, my objective is always to create balance and proportion.
