Houston Plastic Surgeon Now Offers Buttock Augmentation Using the Fat Transfer Method

    HOUSTON, TX, July 23, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Plastic Surgery Institute of South East Texas is proud to announce that they are offering buttock augmentation using the fat transfer method to their patients in the Houston, Texas area. Commonly referred to as the "Brazilian Butt Lift," this procedure offers the added value of a 2 for 1 surgery: patients will receive the body contouring benefits of liposuction while putting their unwanted fat to good use in the buttocks region. The end result is a whole body recontouring which provides a more feminine figure.

Buttock augmentation with fat transfer uses your own tissue to augment the buttocks region. Unwanted pockets of fat are removed from regions of your body such as the abdomen or thighs. The fat undergoes a purification process before being injected deep into the buttock muscle for permanent results.

"We are very excited to offer this service to our patients," says Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Leo Lapuerta of The Plastic Surgery Institute of South East Texas. "In tough economic times, buttock augmentation with fat transfer offers our patients top value for their dollar. The end result is a complete body sculpting experience."

Buttock augmentation with fat transfer offers several benefits over other alternatives such as buttock implants:

- It produces a more natural appearance
- Your own natural tissue is used instead of a foreign object
- There is no chance your body will reject the procedure
- Smaller incisions are used resulting in less scarring
- There is a shorter healing time
- Donor areas receive additional body sculpting
- There is a low incidence of infection

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, plastic surgery procedures experienced a slight decline in 2009 compared to 2008, most likely due to the struggling economy. Major procedures such as liposuction, tummy tucks, and breast augmentation were affected the most. In fact, liposuction procedures decreased by 19% last year. However, by opting for buttock augmentation with fat transfer, women can get the most for their money with this 2 for 1 service. In tough economic times, this is a substantial benefit.
