What is Buttock Enhancement?
With more women preferring curves and a well-shaped hourglass figure, it’s natural to look for cosmetic surgery options for a rounder, more lifted butt. Buttock enhancement is a group of procedures that seek to enhance the butt’s overall shape and projection. Buttock augmentation can be completed in a few different ways and Dr. DiFrancesco can help you select the right option for your intended look and preferences.
Buttock Enhancement Benefits
Having a rounder, perkier butt can come with many benefits. The primary benefit is having more confidence in your body, especially when making an exit. However, buttock augmentation can also enhance your favorite outfits, making it easier to fill out your jeans and explore new clothing types. Depending on the type of buttock enhancement, it can also get rid of excess, sagging skin as a result of weight loss or pregnancy. Dr. DiFrancesco can help sculpt the body you envision when you picture your best self and give you the curves you want.
Good Candidates for Buttock Enhancement
One of the most important considerations for buttocks enhancement surgery is that you be in overall good health. Surgery will require dedicated downtime and adherence to aftercare instructions, meaning it’s important to be willing and able to follow directions. Each type of gluteal augmentation surgery has unique candidacy requirements, and Dr. DiFrancesco will help you learn more about your choice during a consultation.

Buttock Enhancement Options
Different options exist for buttock augmentation and one may be more right for you than the others.
Buttock Augmentation With Implants
Buttock augmentation using silicone implants is a reliable way to enhance the projection of the butt. The butt implants are inserted during a surgical procedure, and Dr. DiFrancesco will help you pick an implant size and shape that fits your goals. The implants sit against the gluteal muscle and provide a completely natural look and feel. They can be easily removed if needed.
Butt Lift
The butt lift is a cosmetic surgery that gets rid of sagging skin, creating a tighter, smoother appearance. It doesn’t change the size of the butt on its own, but it can easily be combined with other options. It’s most popular with people who have lost significant weight and are left with excess skin.
Brazilian Butt Lift (Fat Transfer)
The Brazilian butt lift is the most popular buttock enhancement option. It involves collecting excess fat from an area like the stomach, hips, or thighs and injecting it into the butt to enhance its shape. An Atlanta Brazilian butt lift can be performed with a local anesthetic and you can return home afterward. It’s performed in a few different steps, and Dr. DiFrancesco will go over each one during your consultation so you know what to expect.
Preparing for Buttock Enhancement
For any type of surgery, it’s important to stop smoking, eat a healthy and varied diet, stop taking certain medications, and gather your recovery materials ahead of time. Dr. DiFrancesco will give you detailed instructions based on your specific surgical procedure. Make sure to ask questions and don’t hesitate to contact our team with any concerns.
Buttock Enhancement Procedure
Butt enhancement is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia, depending on the specific procedure. Dr. DiFrancesco will ensure you’re fully informed about specifics.
Butt Implant Surgery
Butt augmentation with implants involves creating an incision within the natural contours of the butt and creating a pocket for the implant. Then, the preselected implant is placed against the gluteus maximus muscle. Once your ideal look has been created, Dr. DiFrancesco will close the incisions and prepare you for recovery.
Butt Lift
The butt lift involves creating incisions that allow Dr. DiFrancesco to remove excess skin and pull the remaining skin tighter around the butt. She might combine your procedure with liposuction to contour the surrounding area, such as the hips and love handles. The incisions will be closed and you’ll be fitted with a compression garment for your recovery.
Brazilian Butt Lift
The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is performed in three stages – liposuction, fat preparation, and injection. This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery. Dr. DiFrancesco typically injects more fat than needed at this stage because not all of the fat cells will survive the process. Thus, your results may look more exaggerated than intended.
Liposuction
The first step is a liposuction procedure on your donor area (commonly the abdomen, flanks, hips, or thighs). This process collects excess body fat with a small incision and a surgical cannula. Dr. DiFrancesco uses a gentle back-and-forth motion to help break up the fat for easier removal with a surgical vacuum. After enough fat is collected, the incisions are closed with special sutures.
Preparation
After the fatty tissue is collected, it’s purified and made ready for the injection process. Usually, this includes separating the fat cells from the liquid to ensure pure fat cells can be placed in specialized syringes to be injected.
Injection
This step includes careful planning and an artistic eye. Dr. DiFrancesco will use multiple syringes of injected fat to ensure your results are well-shaped, evenly distributed, and natural-looking. It’s common practice to inject more fat than is needed for your results during this step since not all of the fat cells survive the transfer process. After this step is complete, you’ll be made ready for your recovery and trip home.
Buttock Enhancement Recovery
For each type of buttock augmentation, you’ll need to take certain important steps to make sure your recovery is successful. This includes wearing a compression garment, avoiding sitting directly on your butt or incisions, and more. Dr. DiFrancesco will give you detailed instructions specific to your butt enhancement technique.
You’ll be prescribed medications to manage swelling and discomfort, so take these according to instructions. Most patients can return to their regular light activities within a week or so (this may be longer for implants or a butt lift). Over the following weeks and months, your results will emerge. With the right aftercare and healthy lifestyle, butt enhancement are often permanent.
Results of Buttock Enhancement
You’ll notice immediate volume and shape after your buttock enhancement treatment. Implant surgery and a butt lift can last for many years with a healthy and active lifestyle. Brazilian butt lift results are more dependent on your ability to maintain a stable weight. However, with any option, you can enjoy better clothing fit, boosted confidence, and many other benefits.
Risks of Buttock Enhancement
Any type of surgery comes with inherent risks. More common risks include bleeding, swelling, bruising, and infection. More severe risks can be specific to different procedure types, and Dr. DiFrancesco will go over them in detail during your consultation.
Cost of Buttock Enhancement
The cost of your buttock augmentation will be dependent on factors like implant costs, surgical facilities, anesthesia, and much more. Our team will give you a detailed cost estimate during a consultation.
What to Expect From a Buttock Enhancement Consultation
During your consultation with Dr. DiFrancesco, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, learn more about your procedure options, and discuss the risks and rewards of buttock augmentation surgery. We encourage you to have an in-depth discussion about your cosmetic goals and worries about the procedure so we can help you make a fully informed choice about cosmetic surgery.
