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.
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.
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.
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 ‘shrink wrap’ 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 – Make an incision in the bikini line and around the belly button.
Step 2 – Lift skin and fat to rib cage, leaving belly button attached to the muscle below.
Step 3 – Tighten abdominal muscles above and below the belly button.
Step 4 – Remove excess skin.
Step 5 – Make a hole for belly button.
Step 6 – 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. 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 – Make an incision in bikini line only.
Step 2 – Lift skin and fat to belly button only.
Step 3 – Remove excess skin.
Step 4 – 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 they’ve 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 – Make an incision in the bikini line and around the belly button.
Step 2 – Lift skin and fat to rib cage, leaving belly button attached to the muscle below.
Step 3 – Remove excess skin.
Step 4 – Make a hole for belly button.
Step 5 – Close both the belly button and bikini line incisions.
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 doesn’t take too long and you can enjoy the results for years to come.

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. This will depend on the type of implant, your body type, how much increase in size is desired and Dr. Jimerson’s preference.
Once the implants are inserted, the incisions are closed using sutures, surgical tape or surgical glue. You’ll be able to see the results immediately after surgery, but some swelling will be present.

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.
For women who can locate their G-spot, this sensitive area can be enlarged with a collagen injection. For many women this results in increased arousal and pleasure from sex. The injection is performed under local anesthesia with little or no down time. The effect lasts up to 4 months.

Labia Minora Reduction
Large inner vaginal lips, labia minora, can cause pain during sex or when wearing certain underwear. Some people find them aesthetically displeasing as well. 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. Sometimes women develop excess skin in this area. 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 – most often during childbirth or due to an episiotomy. This can lead to an enlarged vaginal opening and decreased friction during sex. Surgical correction repairs the damaged tissue and restores the vaginal opening to its original size. 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. 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. There are a number of injectables that can be used to replace this lost volume. We commonly use a patient’s 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. 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. These fat deposits can be unsightly in underwear, swimwear and when nude. Liposuction can be used to reduce the fat in these areas.
Procedure
The liposuction is performed using tumescent or ultrasound – assisted technique (VASER liposuction). 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. Small incisions are typically placed in the groin. Scarring is minimal due to the small size of the incisions and typically no suturing is required.
Vaginal Tightening
Some women experience vaginal relaxation which can lead to an enlarged vaginal opening and less friction during sex. Vaginal rejuvenation (or vaginal tightening) is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of the vaginal opening and tighten the interior muscles.
G-spot augmentation
For women who can locate their G-spot, this sensitive area can be enlarged with a collagen injection. For many women this results in increased arousal and pleasure from sex. The injection is performed under local anesthesia with little or no down time. The effect lasts up to 4 months.
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 ‘shrink wrapping’ 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 ‘finishing touches’ 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 ‘eight pack’ 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.
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, we’ll 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, we’ll 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 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 don’t 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.
VHD Liposculpturing of the Abdominal Rectus Muscles (ABS) – 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 don’t 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 ‘six-pack’ or even an ‘eight-pack’. 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 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 you’re 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. We’ll 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 ‘frame’ 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 you’ll start to feel better in just a few days. After a week or two any bruising should have faded away and you won’t 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 don’t hesitate to call our offices and set up a free consultation with the doctor.
