Press Release

Huntington Station, NY ( connect2business ) August 28, 2013 - Thanks to celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce, lots of attention has been paid to the buttocks. For those who'd like to enlarge or reshape their buttocks and have found that the area does not respond to diet or exercise, surgical buttock augmentation is a viable way to enhance one's backside, according to LI Plastic Surgery director Dr. Charlotte Rhee.

Dr. Rhee's Long Island plastic surgery practice offers options including a buttock lift (butt lift), which contours the buttocks and compensates for low amounts of fat in the area. Patients who wish to enlarge their bottoms can enjoy a more voluptuous and perky profile. This type of augmentation can be safely achieved through injections of the patient's own body fat. Buttock augmentation via fat transfer, also known as the Brazilian butt lift in honor of the country in which it was developed, is performed with the patient under general anesthesia.

The surgery involves two steps. First, the patient's own fat is collected through a process similar to liposuction. The most popular areas for harvesting fat before buttock augmentation are the lower back, waist, flanks (love handles), thighs and stomach. This not only provides the raw material for buttock enhancement, it also contours the areas around the butt for a more dramatic result. The fat that has been removed is then purified using a special device so that the fat cells are ready to be reintroduced to the body with minimal resorption.

In the second step, the harvested fat is added to the buttocks with hundreds of tiny injections at a variety of depths to ensure an even, attractive augmentation. This method of fat injection lends a shapely contour to the buttocks that lasts a long time. Special attention is given to the upper buttocks so the entire rear looks youthfully and naturally lifted. The entire procedure will typically take between two and four hours. The Brazilian Butt Lift is the preferred method as it has a smaller chance of rejection than implants, as well as creating a very natural look, according to Rhee's website.

Interested parties are encouraged to contact Dr. Rhee directly and schedule a consultation. Dr. Rhee can be reached via her website at www.liplasticsurgery.com or by calling 631-424-6707.
