Why Consider Butt Enhancement in San Diego?
There are many reasons to consider a buttock enhancement at Divino Plastic Surgery in San Diego. You may want to change the contour of your posterior just as you can reshape other parts of the body. If you were born with a flat or boxy rear, or if you feel your butt is just too small to look good in and out of clothing, a buttock enhancement might be the procedure for you. You may also be a good candidate if you feel that your rear is too large or if it has a relatively normal size and shape but has lost its fullness over the years due to the effects of age and gravity. Each person’s backside is unique, and each patient has individual goals for their looks.

What are the Types of Buttock Enhancement Procedures?
- Brazilian Butt Lift
- Traditional Buttocks Lift
- Butt Implants
Brazilian Butt Lift
The Brazilian butt lift is a very versatile procedure to transform the look and shape of the gluteal area by removing your existing fat from one area and transferring that fat to the buttock area to create an enhanced butt. This procedure can be used to change the buttocks any way the patient wants. It helps increase the harmony of the buttocks to the waist ratio and their projection to the desired proportion.
Traditional Buttocks Lift
The traditional excisional buttock lifting techniques can solve a wide range of problems associated with significant deformity of the buttocks in addition to removal of excess skin. In this particular procedure, reshaping is performed by rearranging the buttock’s soft tissue in such a way that it will have a better projection and will anchor the soft tissue to help achieve long lasting results.
Butt Implants
Performing buttock implants is an additional option that mainly increases the buttock‘s projection but does not necessarily shape the hips. Buttock implants are typically combined with other procedures like liposuction and fat transfer to achieve the best results. However, like the fat transfer used on the Brazilian butt lift, patients with a significant flabby buttock and excess skin will not be well served with this procedure. There are buttock implants of different forms and shapes to meet the specific needs of each patient. Dr. Chacon uses his expertise and years of experience in order to create a beautiful buttock.
Benefits of Butt Augmentation
Patients who have butt augmentation enjoy several benefits, including:
- Having a bigger, rounder, younger-looking buttocks
- Achieving nicer proportions by making the abdomen look smaller in comparison
- Filling out pants or a swimsuit more easily
- Reducing excess fat deposits from another area of the body (such as the abdomen or thighs)
- Minimizing cellulite by expanding the volume of the buttocks
Creating Your Preferred Butt Shape
Butt augmentation is most common for patients who have a V-shaped (inverted) or square-shaped butt cheeks due to genetic factors. However, people of all sizes and shapes can benefit from adding more volume to their buttocks.
During a consultation, you will share your preferred butt shape and proportions so that the results correspond with your aesthetic goals. Most often, patients request a bubble butt (with round, full cheeks) or an upside-down heart shape to better correspond with shapes that are considered most attractive. Some patients simply want a curvier butt to enhance their hourglass figure. With a specific implant shape or carefully molded fat, the experts at Divino Plastic Surgery can fulfill your goals.
Buttock Enhancement Recovery
The recovery process and instruction will vary slightly depending on the procedure or combinations of procedures used to enhance your buttocks. It is very important to wear a specialized compression garment during recovery. These garments are necessary to provide support and reduce movement in the buttocks area. Heavy exercise should be avoided during recovery for the first several weeks so as not to disrupt your result. If the recovery is going well, weight-training exercises that do not directly affect the buttocks area may be permitted.
For the first two weeks of recovery, butt enhancement patients should avoid putting direct pressure on the buttocks for longer than a few minutes at a time. During this time, you may sit only when absolutely necessary, using a very soft cushion or donut-shaped pillow to avoid putting pressure on the buttocks. Position yourself on your belly or side when resting in order to keep from putting pressure on your buttocks. Patients should take light walks beginning with the first night following surgery to reduce the risk of developing blood clots in the legs.
Most patients are able to return to work during week two or three of their recovery, depending on the degree of activity. A soft cushion should still be used when sitting at work if necessary. Continue to avoid sitting on your backside. Patients should focus more on weight training than aerobic activity during this time to allow the new buttock shape to stabilize and heal.
During the fourth and fifth weeks after surgery, patients should continue to use a cushion if sitting for prolonged periods. More intense activities can be performed, such as elliptical and fast-paced walking. Patients can enjoy time at the beach or pool and swim if desired.
Butt Augmentation Results
Buttock enhancement is generally considered permanent because results last indefinitely. With Brazilian butt lift, the fat transferred to your backside has a high survival rate since your body recognizes and adopts its own fat in its new location. The key to long-lasting results is to maintain a steady weight: gaining or losing a significant amount of weight can alter the contours achieved with the procedure.
Buttock implants are very durable and can also last a lifetime. If so desired, implants can be safely removed and replaced (or simply removed) in the future.
Other FAQs About Butt Enhancement
What Happens to my Buttock Enhancement after Recovery?
After the recovery period, if you have had fat grafting as part of your buttock enhancement procedure, the grafted fat will act just like the fat cells in other areas of your body. Weight fluctuations will increase or decrease the volume of the buttocks, the same way the volume of the rest of your body will be affected, so the enhanced butt will maintain the new silhouette or proportion with the body. Exercise will help maintain results and enhance the muscular tone of your buttocks.
How Much Does a Buttock Enhancement Cost in San Diego?
Many patients who undergo buttock enhancement consider it an investment in their appearance and improved self-confidence.
The type of buttock enhancement right for you will determine the overall cost. Typically, a traditional buttock lift is more involved, since it requires the surgeon to remove tissue, tighten underlying muscles, and trim excess skin. If you include a buttock implant or fat transfer in your traditional buttock lift procedure, this will also affect the price.
A specialized surgeon may cost slightly more up-front, but working with them can save you expense in the long-term by providing outcomes with a lower risk of complications and the possibility of a revision or secondary procedure.
The type of anesthesia and sedation used will vary depending on the kind of buttock enhancement surgery you require, your medical needs, and your personal preferences.
Your compression garments and any other materials needed to enhance your outcome will vary depending on your specific procedures.
Whether or not you decide to combine your buttock enhancement surgery with any other cosmetic procedures. For example, many patients choose to undergo a tummy tuck or breast augmentation at the same time as a buttock enhancement to rejuvenate their overall shape. The will also affect your total cost but save you money in the long term.

What is the most popular way to enhance the buttocks?
In the past several years, BBL has become the preferred method for buttock augmentation among patients and doctors. Not only do patients enjoy being able to move fat from another part of the body where it is in excess, but also the doctor has an easier time molding the patient’s preferred buttock shape with real fat.
If I put on extra weight, can I achieve bigger buttocks without needing cosmetic enhancement?
Rarely is a patient who tries to put on excess pounds satisfied with the results. Unfortunately, you cannot control where you store extra fat. Most likely, the fat will be distributed throughout your body, which means that while your buttocks becomes larger, so do other areas of your body. This may make your contours look less appealing overall. Cosmetic enhancement ensures that you achieve the specific proportions you envisioned.
With Brazilian butt lift, can I choose the location from which fat is extracted?
When performing BBL, your doctor needs to harvest donor fat from another area of the body where there is surplus fat. While your doctor may suggest areas where there is sufficient fat, your preference as to the area or areas where you would like use liposuction is very important. For that reason, you can consider BBL a two-for-one procedure.
