Butt Enhancement Surgery Performed by New York Plastic Surgeon George LefkovitsFrequently Asked Questions
About Butt Augmentation Plastic Surgery

Why does Dr. Lefkovits use the fat grafting technique in buttocks augmentation (also known as Brazilian Butt Fill™ surgery)?
Dr. Lefkovits uses the fat grafting technique for buttock augmentation because it provides for a more natural and aesthetic result. In addition fat transplantation allows for customized augmentation, concentrating in the areas that are most deficient and most desired for enhancement by the patient. He does not use a butt implant plastic surgery because it’s a foreign body with all its possible untoward effects including: unnatural feel, insufficient projection if placed under the muscle or capsule formation or distortion (if placed above the muscle), asymmetry, higher incidence of infection, possible nerve injury (if placed under the muscle), extreme postoperative pain( if under the muscle), higher chance of asymmetry, and prolonged postoperative course.

Dr. Lefkovits uses 2 small incisions to carefully place droplets of fat in different levels throughout the buttocks. This gives a more natural shape and feel to the buttocks. By placing small amounts of fat in different tunnels, it increases the likelihood that the fat particles will be surrounded by healthy blood supply, which will nourish the fat cells and maximize their chance for survival.

What are the risks of buttock augmentation using fat grafting (butt fat injection)?
The main risk is that in about 30% of the patients significant fat absorption occurs early on necessitating a second grafting procedure. It is unlikey that further butt fat injection procedures would be necessary. Other risks such as bleeding, infection, and scarring are unlikely.

After a fat transplantation procedure, how do the buttocks feel to the touch?
Your newly shaped buttocks will usually feel natural after the healing process. Since the additional shape is created by your own living cells, your result will look and feel normal. You will not even be able to distinguish which areas have been grafted.

Do I need to wear any special garments after butt enhancement surgery?
You will wear a special surgical garment for 1-2 weeks after surgery for comfort and to minimize swelling. You will also be encouraged to have massage and ultrasound sessions beginning one week after surgery to minimize swelling, hardness, and to accelerate the healing process. This provided in-house. We realize that this is not practical for our out of town patients, and we suggest that they have these treatments in their home town whenever possible.

When can I resume exercise after my butt augmentation procedure?
Each patient will have his or her timetable depending on the exact procedure performed and individual health factors. Most patients can resume progressive exercise after 2 weeks, gradually getting back to the preoperative level after about 6 weeks.

When will I be able to sit?
You will be able to sit from the first day of your buttock enlargement surgery. However, sitting for prolonged periods of time right after surgery is not encouraged.

Why is it important to choose an experienced surgeon for buttock augmentation?
Like anything else, experience matters. Choosing a plastic surgeon who performs buttock augmentation on a routine basis will increase the likelihood that you will have an optimal result.
