Butt reshaping by Fat transfer
We offer buttock liposuction fat removal as well as autologous fat implantation (your own fat harvested from other areas of your body) to reshape and sculpt the entire buttock and hip area.

Buttock reshaping may require the following:

• • Reduction in the size of certain areas (by liposuction fat removal) like the waist (and love-handles), sacral curve and saddlebags,
  • Enlargement (augmentation) of other areas (by implantation of your own fat harvested from other areas of your body) like the buttock mounds and lateral buttock flat zones,
  • Or, a combination of both procedures during which certain zones are reduced in size and others are enlarged, leading to an often-times quite amazing transformation in figure shape: a case of 1+1 = 3 in terms of the result.

We do not offer implantation of artificial material prostheses (like one would use in breast implantation) that are permanent. Please look elsewhere if this is your desired procedure: we are unable to recommend a Clinic that does this.

The results are truly astounding! Dr Mike Henry has perfected his buttock and pelvis area reshaping skills over the past 15 years.

The fat that will be used for transferring is harvested via Liposuction, which is performed at our Clinic (in an on-sight dedicated operating theatre) using the worldwide standard of tumescent local anaesthetic infiltration into the areas from which fat is removed (and discarded) or harvested. This makes it virtually painless and extremely safe from a blood loss point of view. You will also be safely sedated (asleep but rousable so you can turn to new positions) whilst undergoing continual cardio-respiratory monitoring. Sedation turns it into a pleasant experience.

The fat is removed via narrow cannulas (hollow rigid metal tubes). In cases where buttock enlargement (augmentation) by fat transfer is the primary goal, fat needs to be harvested from other body areas – and this needs to be done in a way that leaves you with a better body shape overall. So part of the assessment for buttock augmentation is determining how much and from what areas the fat must be taken. This fat harvesting procedure is in itself an aesthetic liposuction type procedure and needs to be done with plenty of skill and experience to ensure a pleasing overall reshaping of your body (so that, at the very least, the donor area does not look worse than before). It is often technically more difficult and time consuming (and so usually more expensive) than the fat transfer part of the procedure.

The harvested fat is then processed to remove excess fluid and placed into special syringes for implantation (transplantation) via hollow cannulas into the marked out buttock zones. It is then injected along the cannula tracks of the implantation cannulas as they are moved backwards and forwards through the buttock fat, which has also been anaesthetised via the tumescent technique. This part is also very comfortable. The correct volumes and positioning of the filling zones are critical for a good result. Dr Henry is a member of the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine and keeps up to date with the best techniques and equipment to use.

In summary, You need to understand that buttock augmentation using your own fat involves at least 2 separate procedures performed at the same sitting:

• • fat harvesting by liposuction (”lipo-aspiration”), done in an aesthetically pleasing way (which is often both more artistically and technically demanding plus time consuming than the fat transfer: and therefore usually more expensive)
  • followed by fat transfer (autologous fat transplantation).
  • Both are done safely and virtually painlessly in a dedicated on-sight operating theatre using tumescent local anaesthesia supplemented by intravenous sedation administered under cardio respiratory monitoring with continuous oxygen administration via nasal cannulas.
