Buttock surgeryis a real mystery and a real taboo in France

Buttock surgery—its reputation as a difficult and painful procedure might explain this.

After breast surgery, buttock surgery is the latest trend in cosmetic procedures for both women and men, perhaps driven by the resurgence of voluptuous and shapely figures, which are all the rage across the Atlantic.

It is also a subspecialty within the field of cosmetic surgery. Very few plastic surgeons know how to perform buttock implants correctly (intramuscularly) or offer modernbuttock lipofilling techniques(re-injection of fat cells harvested from elsewhere via liposuction), the ultimate version of which is theBrazilian Butt Lift. 

These three techniques are currently the only reliable methods for achieving a natural buttock augmentation.

My Journey to Becoming a Buttock Plastic Surgeon

I became interested in these fascinating buttock contouring techniques quite early on, more than seven years ago. Realizing that the buttocks were part of the silhouette of the back and thighs was a revelation. My buttock liposuction procedures have become increasingly focused on the “buttocks and surrounding area.”

I thus identified the incision sites for liposuctionthat could sculpt this body shape: two sites on the back and two on the waist are sufficient.

My participation in plastic surgery conferences and workshops on buttock implants led by the renowned Brazilian plastic surgeon Dr. Raul Gonzalez, followed by my thorough reading of his book, introduced me to this unique yet fascinating surgical procedure.

Discovering Brazil and his passion for cosmetic surgery

Since then, this area of cosmetic buttock surgery has become my sole focus and a true area of hyper-specialization. Driven by the growing demand from both women and men seeking a beautiful butt, I have sought to furtherrefinemy technique.

The Body-Jet, a device specifically designed for lipofilling, has allowed me to improve several key aspects of my practice: procedure speed, the amount of fat harvested and filtered, and the safety and reliability of the injected fat. It has also reduced patients’ postoperative recovery time (less swelling) and minimized pain.

By using a variety of buttock implant lines—Brazilian (Silimed), German (Polytech), and French (Sebbin and high-projection biconvex implants)—I am able to determine the best option for my patients’ buttocks.

These buttock implants are selected in the same way as breast implants, taking into account the patient's existing body measurements, namely the diameter of the buttocks, weight, and height.

There’s no point in looking for something extraordinary if you want something natural!

A tailored buttock augmentation technique for every patient

Currently, both buttock implant surgery and lipofilling are performed:

1. People who are thin or experience significant weight fluctuations are generally recommended to opt for buttock implants

The implant is most often placed in the muscle through a single, short incision between the buttocks.

2. People with localized fat deposits (saddlebags, thighs, knees) are good candidates for buttock lipofilling

To create a more balanced silhouette that accentuates the buttocks.

3. Finally, patients with flat buttocks and widespread excess fat (often overweight) that is typically concentrated in the lower back (giving the back a cylindrical appearance) will see improvement with the Brazilian Butt Lift

This is buttock lipofilling using thefourliposuction sites described earlier.

With these three techniques at my disposal, I’m confident I can help you achieve your dream of a beautiful butt; the results will be tailored to you, safe, and completely natural!
