What is buttock augmentation?

Dr. Peter Fodor, MD FACS, has had the opportunity not only to train in Brazil but also to teach other Brazilian surgeons in many aspects of aesthetic surgery including Buttocks augmentation-using silicone implants.  More recently, he has become convinced that a safer and better way to do buttocks augmentation is to use the patient’s own fat tissue.   This approach results in a two-for-one gain, so to speak.

What is involved in a fat injection buttock augmentation?

The procedure consists of a combination of liposuction of various areas of the patient’s body followed by precise injections of fat into the buttocks.  For example, fat can first be harvested by liposuction from the patient’s love handles, outer thighs, buttocks, abdomen, or elsewhere and thus the patient’s figure has already been made more attractive.  Then, the fat is processed and purified before it is reinjected carefully with small injections into the buttocks.  The surgeon shapes the buttocks on the operating table, which allows for a more complete contouring of the buttocks tissue.

Patients have been extremely happy with the results and this method of buttock augmentation  is something that will be considered by more patients as it can be added to make their figure or silhouette more attractive.

Heidi Montag shocked Hills fans when she emerged this week from weeks in hiding after a plastic surgery operation she had been planning for the past three years, according to People. The reality TV star has always been candid about her desire for more surgery after two procedures in 2007, which she defended, saying she had always felt self-conscious about having a large nose and being flat-chested.

But now, she says her desire for even larger boobs after an increase from 32A to DDD is about obsession. “I am obsessed with plastic surgery and with maintaining my looks,” she tells People in a post-op interview, saying the reason this time around was “to feel better, to feel perfect.”

In November 2009, the 23-year-old went under the knife to have:  a mini brow lift, Botox, nose job revision, fat injections in the cheeks, chin reduction, neck liposuction, ears pinned back, breast augmentation revision, liposuction on waist, hips and thighs, and a buttock augmentation.

Hills cast mate Audrina Patridge didn’t sound impressed by the cadre of improvements to her co-star. “I haven’t seen how she looks, so it’s hard for me to comment on it, but these are her decisions, and as long as Heidi is happy, that’s all that matters,” Patridge told People at an event in Hollywood.

“I think it’s a case of, ‘To each their own,’ but 10 procedures in one day is a little much,” she added.

Patridge has also been the object of speculation over whether or not she has also had breast augmentation surgery.

Who Makes What on The Hills

Maybe J Lo should lay off the Twitter–after tweeting to Ryan Seacrest and Kim Kardashian on her new Twitter account that she was trying to figure out the service between spending time at in the studio and at American Music Award rehearsals, Jennifer Lopez took a tumble live onstage at the AMAs.

The fall happened as Lopez was walking up the backs of her back-up dancers, who had arranged themselves in a stair-step formation. While holding the hand of another dancer, Lopez climbed to the top of the formation and then jumped down. Instead of landing on her Louboutins, Lopez landed on her rear.

A statement from ABC indicated that Dick Clark Productions, the group that produced the show, edited out the footage voluntarily. “Due to the live nature of the show, we did not expect the impromptu moment in question. Regarding Jennifer Lopez, execs and producers felt it was respectful to Ms. Lopez to edit the mishap for later time zones.”

Does the slip mean J Lo is past her prime? Probably not. Plastic surgeon Dr. Ricardo Rodruiguez says on his site that “Jennifer Lopez has done for the rear end what Pamela Anderson has done for the front end.”

And, a January 2009 survey by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery agrees, saying “The rear of actress Jennifer Lopez is rated No. 1 by plastic surgeons’ patients seeking to remake their buttocks.”

A source from backstage did say that Jenny from the Block was furious about the mishap–but only at herself. “She walked off the stage absolutely fuming,” an unnamed insider told Fox News. “She was so upset, and ready to kill. Jennifer was a perfectionist about that performance and practiced hard.”
