This is often successfully treated with fat grafting as this works extremely well in this area. |
| |
Fat is injected into the gluteus muscle and into the fat space. This can produce not only a higher rounder buttock, but can lift some degree of sagging buttock. |
| |
Silicone buttock implants can also be placed beneath the muscle through a 4 inch incision. |
