Kimberly Miles drove more than 100 miles from Columbus, Georgia, to Atlanta, in search of something sheās been dreaming about for years: dimples. The real deal, just like her teenage son.
āAnd, I always had an urge to have dimples,ā says Miles. āI always wanted dimples because my son had them. They just brighten your face, your smile. They just add a whole demeanor to your look.ā
So, Miles has turned to Dr. Andrew Jimerson II of āDr. Curvesā Plastic Surgery for a ādimpleplasty.ā
And, yes, there is such a thing.
āIām looking for a deeper (dimple) look, not too big,ā says Miles, ā Just right for my face.ā
The surgical dimple trend began a few years ago in Asia, and for the last few months, Dr. Jimerson says more and more patients like Miles are wanting to up their cuteness factor with surgically-created cheek indentations. Patients pay between $900 and $1,200 for a minimally-invasive, scar-less procedure that takes about 20 minutes. Kimberly Miles allowed us to sit in on her dimpleplasty.
After another plastic surgery used a marker to map out where Milesā new dimples will go, her cheeks were numbed with a local anesthetic, like the kind used by dentists. Then, Dr. Jimerson went in through her mouth and made small incisions on the inside of her cheeks. He used sutures to reach in and grab the underside of her cheek skin tissue, pulling it inward towards her mouth, and tethering it to the tissue below.
This creates a dimple on each side of her mouth that will relax and look more natural with time, Jimerson says. Still, thereās a small, but very important, catch to these surgically-created dimples.
āSo, I think what people really need to understand is, āIs this dimple going to be permanent,ā Dr. Jimerson says.
Because, as much as Kimberly wants her new dimples, sheās going to have them 24/7, for a few months.
āInitially, right after the procedure, whether youāre smiling or not, youāre going to have a permanent dimple,ā Dr. Jimerson explains. āAnd, this will be present for a couple of months. So you have to be very comfortable with having a permanent dimple.ā
And, when her procedure is over, and Kimberly Miles gets her first look in the mirror at her new dimples, sheās more than comfortable. Dimples, at long last.

Beyond wearing the shaping compression garments that your surgeon recommends after surgery, youāll need to plan to wear clothing that supports your healing process. Squeezing newly transferred fat is the fastest way to kill those cells, so you want to make sure youāre not wearing tight or restrictive clothing during your healing process.
Your body will need extra calories to sustain the extra work of providing those new fat cells with blood supply and recovering from the surgery. Eating nutrient-dense foods will provide your body with all the vitamins and minerals it needs to support its recovery. Adding in more healthy fats in your diet will be helpful during your recovery. Try adding avocados, salmon, grass-fed butter, almonds, walnuts, extra virgin olive oil, and coconut oil.
Squishing your newly transferred fat is a big no-no for at least 2 months after surgery. So youāll need to get creative about ensuring youāre not laying on your newly transferred fat. For facial rejuvenation with fat transfer, youāll want to sleep on your back, keeping your face from pushing up against your pillow (this is actually a practice touted by a lot of anit-aging doctors as beneficial for preventing wrinkles ā because when youāve squished your face into a pillow, forming wrinkles for hours each night, those wrinkles eventually become permanent). For Brazilian Butt Lift, stomach sleeping is a good idea. Itās a little harder for you to roll over from your stomach during the night, so that can be helpful to keep you from rolling onto your backside out of habit. Side sleeping can be an option after BBL, but only if you feel certain you wonāt end up on your back.
Facial fat transfer patients will typically take a day or two off of driving, while they recover at home. Brazilian Butt Lift patients will need to take at least 2 weeks off from driving, and hereās why:
Sitting on your newly transferred fat is going to squish and suffocate those fat cells; but if sitting is bad, driving is much worse. During driving, when you push down on the pedals, youāre pushing back against your butt and lower back. So BBL patients need to be sure not to drive for at least a few weeks after surgery ā the closer you can get to 6-8 weeks without driving, the more likely you are to keep a larger percentage of the transferred fat intact.
This one really only applies to Brazilian Butt Lift fat transfer patients.Ā One trick that helps our patients keep off their butt during the healing process is to sit on a towel. Sounds crazy, right? But hereās the trick: roll up the towel to make a cylinder, then place that towel underneath your thighs as you sit, keeping your weight off your butt. Just be careful not to cut off blood supply (if youāre going numb in your thighs, stand for a few minutes to ensure blood circulation, then re-position).
Smoking is a big no-no after any surgery, because smoking affects the flow of oxygen and nutrients through the blood stream, crippling your bodyās ability to heal itself. With fat transfer, your newly transferred blood cells need to re-establish a blood supply in order to survive and thrive in their new home. Smoking makes it harder for your body to build those new blood vessels and affects the quality of blood those fat cells receive during their recovery. Second hand smoke is just as bad for you, so be sure to avoid smoking areas during your recovery, as well.
Exercise helps to get blood and fluids circulating throughout the body, and sweating is a great way to help your body clear out toxins. You want to avoid strenuous activity during the first 2 months of recovery, to ensure you arenāt burning off any of the transferred fat to fuel workouts. During this time, light walking is helpful, but you should be careful not to burn too many calories, or do any movements that put pressure on your transferred fat.
After 8 weeks, your fat transfer should have established proper blood supply, and getting a good sweat session in can help pump fresh, nutrient-rich blood into the area. One tip to remember as you start exercising, is that you want to avoid activities that put a lot of pressure, compression, or trauma on your fat transfer. For example, Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) patients will want to avoid stationary bike and leg sleds, both of which put a lot of pressure on the buttocks. Instead try the elliptical or hack squat machines. For facial fat transfer, any up and down movement can be traumatic to the faceās fat pads. We know from several studies that running, in particular, can cause facial fat wasting, so avoid running, bouncing activities ā even an elliptical set to a high stride height can cause bouncing, so try the stationary bike or rowing machine instead. Weight-lifting and other low-impact sports have not been shown to affect the face, so those should be fine to start back up with at 8 weeks.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) has been used in wound care by orthpedic surgeons for many years, and has gained popularity in cosmetic surgery in recent years (most famously in the Vampire Facial). To create PRP, your blood is collected, and all of the growth factors of the blood are separated out. In fat transfers, the main concern is to establish new blood supply to the transferred fat as soon as possible, so PRP can help your body jumpstart this process by providing those growth factors right where theyāre needed.
PRP (sometimes also called stem cell therapy) Ā is controversial, because some studies have shown it to be beneficial, and some studies have shown it to have no effect, and it is an added expense. However, it has never been shown to have a negative effect on fat transfer results, so for thin BBL patients (who may be more likely to metabolize their fat transfer to begin with) or patients with larger fat transfers, where a small percentage of fat loss would be significant, PRP may make sense. For facial fat transfer patients, PRP nearly always makes sense, because PRP has been shown to be a highly effective rejuvenating treatment, giving the skin a glow, and plumping the face.
We all know hydration is key to health, but when your body is working hard to repair itself, it relies heavily on water to help clear away waste and move nutrients throughout the body. But drinking water alone is not enough. You need to provide your body with electrolytes, the salts and minerals that help your body hold onto water. Try incorporating a few pinches pink Himalayan salt or a small sports drink (like Gatorade, Powerade, or Smart Water) into your diet each day during the first 8 weeks of your recovery.
Weight fluctuations after fat transfer can negatively affect your results.
For facial fat transfer patients, weight loss can reduce the amount of fat in your face, especially if that weight loss is achieved through high impact sports, such as running. Weight gain tends to have less of an impact on fat transfers to the face.
For Brazilian Butt Lift patients, weight gain can cause undesirable effects. Now, just to be clear, weāre not talking about 5 pounds here. However, gaining significant weight after having had liposuction, can cause that fat to accumulate in ānew problem areasā ā for example, a pear-shaped woman whoās never concerned herself with underarm flab may suddenly find her upper back and arms are now more likely to gain weight first, rather than her tummy (where weāve removed fat cells during her BBL procedure). Weight loss after BBL may cause your buttocks to lose weight, though it should be proportionate to weight loss throughout the body.
My breast stretch all the way from above my collar bone to actually touching in the center gore and all the way underneath my armpit! I have never seen breasts that are this big (!) and shallow (for the size anyway). I wear 30E; my breast perimeter is 8ā³ and the volume per breasts is 400ml. But due to the massive roots the actual projection of my breasts is minimal. How can my breasts take up all this space on my ribcage and is there anything I can do to change their shape but keep the volume?
A: It is hard to give you a specific answer, because in your pictures, you are squeezing your breasts together. Please resubmit a photo of your breasts from the front and side preferably with your arms at your sides. Based on your description of your breasts, you may benefit from a breast augmentation with a small implant. Breast implants come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and we are generally able to address most concerns.
A: One of the biggest misconceptions I face with my breast augmentation patients is the perception that āfilling outā the breasts with implants will improve sagging. One of the main components of breast sagging (ptosis) is nipple position. Your nipples are below your breast crease (inframammary fold) and they point downward. Implants alone will not fix this. In fact, in your case a breast augmentation without a lift may worsen the appearance of your breasts. An augmentation mastopexy (breast lift with implants) will fix the sagging, elevate your nipples and increase the volume (size) of your breasts. I always warn my breast lift patients who have not had children yet that there is no predicting the effect of a future pregnancy on the appearance of your breasts. It is possible that you may desire another lift after pregnancy. You should also consider your feelings about breastfeeding. While plenty of women are able to successfully nurse a child after breast surgery, it is possible that the surgery could negatively affect your ability to breastfeed.

VHD Sculpting of the Female Body with Brazilian Butt Augmentation
One of the biggest issues people face when trying to improve their appearance today is the mistaken belief that the only thing they need to do is remove the excess fat. While this is often an important step, it is just one of many possible steps that typically needs to be taken. If you want to have a truly breathtaking body, you need to have a holistic approach that will produce long lasting results. This is why our VHD sculpting of the female body with Brazilian but augmentation is such a popular option.
When our clients opt for this procedure we will take a close look your body from head to toe, and come up with the right procedure, or set of procedures, to get you the results youāre looking for. When it is done, you will have a strong, sexy, healthy body that you can be proud of. When it comes to the Brazilian butt augmentation procedure, it is important to have a good understanding of what will be done, and how it will help your appearance.
The procedure is typically done at the same time as any other work you are having, so the recovery time is fairly minimal. Weāll start by sculpting an aesthetically pleasing buttocks. The specifics of what this means will vary from person to person. Every one of our Brazilian butt augmentations is customized to the exact desires of the patient. Some women look best with a little bigger butt, and others with something more petite. Prior to the procedure, the doctor will work with you to come up with the perfect approach to get you the look you want.
When the procedure begins, the doctor will begin removing excess fat from the hips, lower back and other areas as needed. This will help to āframeā your butt perfectly. The fat that is removed is then processed and concentrated so that it can be inserted into the muscle of your buttock where it is needed.
Injecting your own fat into the buttock muscle is the best, and most natural, way to give your butt the shape you want. The vast majority of the fat (over 80%) that is injected will remain as living tissue, which means the results of the procedure will last a lifetime.
The doctor will work precisely through an extremely small incision, adding the fat to the exact locations needed to produce a smooth, visually appealing butt.
Once the doctor has completed the procedure, you will be able to go home to recover. The recovery experience is surprisingly easy, and youāll start to feel better in just a few days. After a week or two any bruising should have faded away and you wonāt even be able to see where the incision was located.
When you look at yourself in the mirror you will absolutely love what you see. This procedure produces a sexy looking butt from behind, and an incredible profile that will be turning heads everywhere you go.
If you have any questions about the VHD sculpting of the female body with Brazilian butt augmentation, please donāt hesitate to call our offices and set up a free consultation with the doctor.
VHD Liposculpturing of the Abdominal Rectus Muscles (ABS) ā For Women
The VASER Hi Def Liposculpturing (VHDL) procedure was designed specifically for people who are looking to both build up their abs while also getting rid of the unwanted fat in that area. Unlike most other programs, we donāt simply focus our attention on one goal or the other. We take a balanced approach that will give you the beautiful abs that you desire.
Our doctor will work directly with you to come up with a custom plan for the procedure to help ensure you get the results you want. By strategically marking your abs just prior to the procedure, the doctor will be able to perfectly visualize what is happening throughout the procedure, which allows for dramatically more precise results. Once the doctor is done removing the fat and the incisions are closed up, the doctor will begin the process of treating the skin in this area. The results leave you with a tight, form fitting midsection that is incredibly sexy.
After this step has been performed, the doctor will begin focusing on the linea semilunaris and the linea alba. These are the tendons areas in the abs that give the added definition. The doctor will help to strengthen them so you have a well-defined āsix-packā or even an āeight-packā. While building this area the doctor will help ensure you get the rock hard, sexy abs you want while still retaining the feminine qualities you desire.
Throughout the process, the doctor will be working off of your specific desires. Many women want a flat, sexy body that they can be proud of. Others are looking for added definition and strength. The bottom line is, whatever image pops into your mind when thinking about the perfect stomach; that is what the doctor will help you to create.
One of the best things about this procedure is that the doctor will work from just a few tiny incisions. The incisions are typically about 1/8 of an inch in size, which means they will heal with virtually no scaring or marking. These incisions are also strategically placed for rapid healing and minimal scaring.
VHD Liposculpturing with PEC Augmentation via Autologous Fat Transplant (AFT)
The VHD Liposculpturing with PEC augmentation via autologous fat transplant is a great way to get bigger, stronger looking muscles quickly and easily. This is an option hat is especially popular with people who have worked hard to build their muscles through proper diet and weight lifting, but just donāt have the bulk that they desire.
Using this procedure, the doctor will carefully inject fatty tissue directly into the muscles themselves. The fatty tissue is very well received into the muscles, and in most cases about 80% of what is injected remains alive well after the process. In fact, the muscles are one of the best places in the body for this type of transplant because of the great supply of blood.
Some people are worried that injecting fat into the muscles will make them softer, but that is not the case. Since the fat is being inserted into the muscle and not on top of it, you will still have the rock hard look and feel that you want. When someone touches your pecs, they will not be able to tell that you have had the procedure done, other than by the fact that your pecs are significantly larger than they were in the past.
Thanks to the extensive training and experience, the doctor can apply the fatty tissue in the exact spots that need it. This gives you very natural looking results that appear the same as if you had just built up the muscles through natural weight lifting.
If you have any questions about this process, or you want to have a consultation with the doctor to see if you are a good candidate, please contact us today.
The VASER Hi Def Liposculpturing (VHDL) procedure was created for those who are looking to lose their flabby chest, and replace it with strong, solid pecs.
When you come in for your consultation with our staff, weāll create a custom plan of action designed to help you quickly achieve your goals.
In addition to removing the excess fat, your doctor will use special equipment that will cause palpitations and contractions throughout your pectoral muscles. This will help to quickly build up the bulk in the muscle, and help it to firm up. This will give you the strong body you desire. To really help beef up your appearance, weāll also help to strategically tighten up the skin in this area to help accentuate the look of your pecs.
Once these initial steps are completed, we will take focused steps to help build the upper area of the pectorals, which will help create additional lift and definition through. The results of this step is having the precise definition that is very sexy and desirable. It will also help build up the appearance of your entire chest for a stronger, more powerful look.
This procedure was developed not only to help you look great, but also to minimize any recovery time that you have to deal with. Our doctor will go in through a tiny cut in each areola to complete the entire process. In most cases, there is no scaring after the procedure so nobody will even be able to tell that it happened. Of course, this will make the results even more impressive to all who see them.
VHD Liposculpturing of the Abdominal Rectus Muscles (ABS)
specifically for those who need to get rid of unwanted fat around the midsection, while at the same time building up the muscles to get that strong, chiseled look. While the procedure itself is a tried and proven way to get a sexy midsection, it is also customized to each individual patient. As part of the preparation for the procedure, your ABS will be strategically marked to help guide the doctor through the sculpting process. This allows for greater visualization for more precise results.
The doctor can then use our advanced instruments to cause palpitations and contractions of each set of muscles to help quickly build the size and strength. Your doctor will focus on each area of the ABS including the upper, lower and outer muscle groups. Once these steps are completed, the skin around your midsection will be treated to give it a āshrink wrappingā effect, which will give you that perfectly defined look that you want. You can see the results of this procedure in the image below of our before and after patient.
Once these steps are completed, we will begin the āfinishing touchesā of the procedure. This starts with focusing on the linea semilunaris, which are the tendons on the outer portion of the ABS. These tendons are sculpted and strengthened to give you the strong, athletic look that most people desire. When these tendons are properly sculpted, the doctor will begin the work on the linea alba, which is the naturally occurring depression down the middle of the ABS. This is what really gives the strong, rock hard look.
Finally, the last part of this procedure is the transverse tendinous insertions, which is an advanced technique that has taken years of experience to master. This step helps to build up the ABS,resulting in the elusive āeight packā ABS that are strong and sexy.
Throughout this process the doctors will be working from just five tiny incisions that are approximately 1/8 of an inch in size. Two are placed low in the groin area, one in the belly button, and then one in the areola of each nipple. Once healed, they are virtually invisible.
G-spot augmentation
For women who can locate their G-spot, this sensitive area can be enlarged with a collagen injection. Ā For many women this results in increased arousal and pleasure from sex. Ā The injection is performed under local anesthesia with little or no down time. Ā The effect lasts up to 4 months.
Vaginal Tightening
Some women experience vaginal relaxation which can lead to an enlarged vaginal opening and less friction during sex. Ā Vaginal rejuvenation (or vaginal tightening) is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of the vaginal opening and tighten the interior muscles.
Labia Minora Reduction
Large inner vaginal lips, labia minora, can cause pain during sex or when wearing certain underwear. Ā Some people find them aesthetically displeasing as well. Ā The labia minora can be reduced surgically which can lead to a more pleasing appearance as well as greater enjoyment of intercourse.
Lateral Redundant Prepuce Reduction
The prepuce is the skin on both sides of and above the clitoral hood. Ā Sometimes women develop excess skin in this area. Ā Some people find this unsightly and women sometimes find there is less sensation during sex due to decreased friction on the clitoris.
Perineoplasty
The perineum, the muscles and tissue between the vaginal and anal openings can be damaged ā most often during childbirth or due to an episiotomy. Ā This can lead to an enlarged vaginal opening and decreased friction during sex. Ā Surgical correction repairs the damaged tissue and restores the vaginal opening to its original size. Ā It can also lead to more enjoyment during sex.
Labia Majora Reduction
The outer vaginal lips, labia majora, can become stretched as a result of pregnancy or weight gain. Ā When the weight is lost, the labial skin does not always contract leaving loose or sagging lips.
Labia Majora Augmentation
The outer vaginal lips can lose volume over time leading to wrinkling. Ā There are a number of injectables that can be used to replace this lost volume. Ā We commonly use a patientās own fat from another area of the body for this purpose.
Labia Majora Convergence
Sometimes the outer lips of the vagina do not come together (converge) above and/or below the vaginal opening. Ā The lips can be pulled together surgically to create a more pleasing appearance.
Many women ask me about liposuction to reduce the fatty bulges above and around the vagina. Ā These fat deposits can be unsightly in underwear, swimwear and when nude. Ā Liposuction can be used to reduce the fat in these areas.
Procedure
The liposuction is performed using tumescent or ultrasound ā assisted technique (VASER liposuction). Ā In either case tumescent fluid (a mixture of sterile saline, lidocaine and epinephrine) is injected into the treatment area and then this fluid along with fat is removed using a small cannula. Ā Small incisions are typically placed in the groin. Ā Scarring is minimal due to the small size of the incisions and typically no suturing is required.
For women who can locate their G-spot, this sensitive area can be enlarged with a collagen injection. Ā For many women this results in increased arousal and pleasure from sex. Ā The injection is performed under local anesthesia with little or no down time. Ā The effect lasts up to 4 months.

You will discuss various anesthesia options with Dr. Jimerson, including sedation and general anesthesia. He will determine the best type of anesthesia based on the procedures, your health history and his preferences.
Dr. Jimerson has several options to use during the breast lift surgery, which will depend on your breast size and shape, the current position of your areola, how much your breast is sagging the quality of your skin.
Options include an incision around the areola; around the areola and then vertically down to the breast crease; and an incision around the areola, down to the breast crease and then horizontally along the breast crease. After the incision is made, the breast tissue is reshaped and lifted to enhance the breast contour and firmness. The nipple and areola is repositioned to a natural, more youthful position. If required, Dr. Jimerson will reduce the areolas by excising skin along the perimeter. Finally, excess skin is removed from the breast to make up for the loss of elasticity.
The incisions are then closed, and sutures are placed in layers deep within the breast tissue to provide support. In addition to sutures, Dr. Jimerson may use skin adhesives and surgical tape to close the incision.
You will discuss various anesthesia options with Dr. Jimerson, including sedation and general anesthesia. He will determine the best type of anesthesia based on the procedures, your health history and his preferences.
In order to ensure that there is minimal visible scarring, Dr. Jimerson has several incision options that he will discuss with you.
All incisions are used to insert the breast implant, regardless of the type used. They include periareolar incision, which is made around the areola.
The inframammary incision is made underneath the breast, in the area where it meets the body. In the transaxillary incision, access for the implant is made underneath the arm, in the armpit area.
There are two options for placing the implant; one is under the pectoral muscle, the other is right behind the breast tissue, over the pectoral muscle. Ā This will depend on the type of implant, your body type, how much increase in size is desired and Dr. Jimersonās preference.
Once the implants are inserted, the incisions are closed using sutures, surgical tape or surgical glue. Youāll be able to see the results immediately after surgery, but some swelling will be present.
When you come in for a consultation with Dr. Curves you will discuss your exact goals with this procedure. From there, the doctor will make a plan that includes exactly where the fat should be grafted from, and then precisely where it will go to get you the results you desire. On the actual day of the procedure, Dr. Curves will make a small incision in the skin where he harvests the fat. This is typically in the abdomen, under the arm or in the legs.
Once the fat is harvested, it is cleaned and treated to help ensure it can be safely grafted into the buttock. When ready, the doctor will make new incisions, typically just under the buttock. He will inject the fat into and around the muscle, which helps to enlarge the entire area. The results are a larger, rounder and more attractive rear end. Due to the fact that the procedure is minimally invasive, recovery doesnāt take too long and you can enjoy the results for years to come.

Tummy Tuck (Full)
The doctor starts the procedure by making a small incision in your midsection. The exact location of the incision will be based on what is required during the procedure but is often made in the belly button or below the waistline to hide the very little scaring that may take place. The doctor will then carefully suction out excess fat from throughout the midsection, leaving you with a toned, sexy looking tummy.
Depending on the amount of fat that needs to be removed, there may be some excess skin which can be either removed or just tightened up. This is done using special instruments that help to effectively āshrink wrapā the skin so your midsection is nice and firm. The incisions will be closed up and within a few hours you can be taken home for your recovery.
Step 1 ā Make an incision in the bikini line and around the belly button.
Step 2 ā Lift skin and fat to rib cage, leaving belly button attached to the muscle below.
Step 3 ā Tighten abdominal muscles above and below the belly button.
Step 4 ā Remove excess skin.
Step 5 ā Make a hole for belly button.
Step 6 ā Close both the belly button and bikini line incisions.
J Tuck (Full)
The J-tuck is a custom procedure developed by Dr. J to help quickly and safely remove excess abdominal skin. Ā This procedure is common after dramatic weight loss as well as pregnancy to help get your midsection looking tight and sexy again.
The J-Tuck procedure focuses primarily on removing excess abdominal skin and toning the muscles up beneath. This is popular after pregnancy or weight loss as a way to get your midsection back to looking the way you want it. The procedure is performed through a fairly small incision, which allows the doctor to shorten and firm up the muscles of the midsection. When necessary, he can also sculpt away any remaining fat.
Once done, he will remove any extra skin that is present, and pull the remaining skin nice and tight over the abdominal muscles. Once completely healed, you will have a firm, tight tummy that looks great. The results of this procedure can last a lifetime with proper diet and care.
Step 1 ā Make an incision in bikini line only.
Step 2 ā Lift skin and fat to belly button only.
Step 3 ā Remove excess skin.
Step 4 ā Close bikini line incision.
Extended J Tuck (Full)
The extended J-Tuck starts by removing excess abdominal skin and then continues by performing a precise umbilicoplasty, which shapes your belly button and surrounding area to be just the way you want it. This is the perfect procedure for those looking to get the sculpted, sexy midsection theyāve always wanted.
Like the normal J-Tuck, this procedure helps by strengthening and tightening the muscles of the midsection. The skin of the abdomen will also be tightened up and when necessary, excess skin is removed. The big difference with this procedure is the umbilicoplasty, or belly button lift. This procedure helps to shape your belly button leaving your midsection looking youthful and attractive.
Step 1 ā Make an incision in the bikini line and around the belly button.
Step 2 ā Lift skin and fat to rib cage, leaving belly button attached to the muscle below.
Step 3 ā Remove excess skin.
Step 4 ā Make a hole for belly button.
Step 5 ā Close both the belly button and bikini line incisions.
This procedure is quite quick and easy in most cases. Dr. Curves will start by making a small incision, usually near the area where the buttock meets the upper leg. This will help to hide any scaring that occurs. When open, he will carefully remove the existing buttock implant from each side. If a replacement implant is desired, he can insert this now as well. If not, he will close up the incision so you can begin you recovery process. Recovery from this procedure takes place in the comfort of your own home.
The buttock implant is a cosmetic surgical procedure that has a long history of success. When done properly, the implants look and even feel very natural. The procedure starts with a consultation with Dr. Curves where he will work with you to learn about your goals. Once ready, he will schedule the procedure to give you the backside you desire.
The procedure itself involves two simple incisions, typically hidden along the crease where the buttock meets the upper leg. Through this incision, Dr. Curves will insert the implants. Depending on the approach taken, the doctor can either put the implants just beneath the skin, or under the muscle itself. Both options provide you with immediate improvement in the look and size of your butt. Recovery is also quite simple and quick with minimal downtime.
The butt augmentation procedure starts out by having the doctor perform a basic liposuction to suction fat from one or more locations on your body. This is done with a very small incision that heals quickly and with little to no scaring. The fat that was removed is processed and purified until so that it can be safely and effectively grafted into your buttock.
When ready, the doctor will inject the fat into the buttock area to get the fuller, rounder look that you desire. Unlike a normal fat grafting, however, the doctor will also manipulate the muscles and skin during the procedure to pull the buttock up higher so it has a fresh, youthful appearance. When done, the incisions are closed up and you will begin the recuperation process, which is typically completed in just a couple weeks.
