Buttocks Downsizing and Reshaping
Although the addition of fat to the buttocks fat has become very popular and coined the Brazilian Buttocks lift, buttocks downsizing and reshaping has become a common request recently. At this time, three patient populations have requested to downsize and/or reshape the buttocks.
First Population
The first population represents patients who have noticed that their butts have sagged and become longer than desirable. Patients who have become saggy will most often notice redundant skin over the lower back and flanks that drapes onto their buttocks; cellulite appearance and skin dimpling often characterize this change.
The buttocks downsizing and reshaping patients will benefit from the simultaneous lateral thigh and buttocks tuck or Renuvion non-invasive skin tightening during their Brazilian buttocks tuck. The tucking procedure not only shortens their buttock height but also reduces the cellulite appearance of their buttock skin.
Second Population
The second population of patients who have previously undergone a Brazilian Buttocks lift were overdone and/or suboptimally shaped. These patients require repositioning of fat to redistribute their fullness into a more aesthetically pleasing shape.
Third Population
The third population of patients was genetically predisposed to have a generous buttocks size. This patient population benefits from the downsizing of the buttocks globally which actually provides improved aesthetics and improved overall buttocks shape.
Patient with sagging buttocks skin and cellulite changes that underwent bilateral lateral thigh and buttocks tuck with simultaneous Brazilian buttocks lift. Now, the patient demonstrates a shortening of her buttocks with appropriate fullness and resolution of skin cellulite.
Patients with fat grafting to the upper and lower buttocks region desired to have improved shape. Fat redistribution allowed for the transfer of fat from the upper and lower buttocks into a more desired middle butt location. This transfer has now transformed her buttocks shape from a double bubble to an hourglass shape.
