Butt implants are one way to approach a buttock augmentation, but the newest procedure usually involves harvesting fat from other parts of the patients body and injecting it into areas of the buttocks to create a natural shape.

It”s important to seek a trained professional with experience in fat grafting and liposuction, like the Mosharrafa’s. There have been doctors in the past who have injected silicone and other materials into a patient’s buttocks, which resorted in serious infections and even death. Therefore, consult the plastic surgery experts Dr. Ali and Dr. Tamir Mosharrafa before going to non-professionals to save a few bucks.
