What is gluteal augmentation? Beverly Hills’ Dr. Kim Explains

Gluteal augmentation is primarily achieved with either placement of an implant or fat transfer. Gluteal augmentation can help women with uniform figures obtain a more noticeable backside. When utilizing an implant, only FDA-approved silicone implants are used. When utilizing fat transfers, one has the added benefit of a concurrent liposuction. As a Beverly Hills gluteal augmentation surgeon, Dr. Kim has helped numerous women obtain a more sensuous figure with this procedure.

Does Dr. Kim offer the Brazilian butt lift – and, is that procedure synonymous with gluteal augmentation? Beverly Hills patients of our practice ask this often. The Brazilian butt lift procedure is another name for gluteal fat transfer.

There is more than one method of gluteal augmentation; with the method performed at SK Plastic Surgery, the upper quadrant of the buttocks is filled with fat obtained from another part of the body. The result is the perky, raised appearance that patients associate with the Brazilian butt lift.
