Buttock Sculpting

Transform your silhouette with buttock sculpting at Dr. Vitolo Plastic Surgery. This procedure uses advanced ultrasound-assisted liposuction to enhance and contour your buttocks, offering a more aesthetically pleasing shape without fat grafting or implants. 

Serving patients from New York City and New Jersey as well as international travelers, we invite you to book a consultation and discover how Dr. Vitolo’s buttock sculpting techniques can revitalize your appearance.

Our Unique Approach to Buttock Enhancement

At Dr. Vitolo Plastic Surgery, we offer a distinct method of buttock sculpting that enhances your natural contours and creates the impression of larger buttocks without augmentation. Dr. Vitolo employs a technique focusing not on adding volume, but on redefining and reshaping the surrounding areas. 

Using external ultrasonic-assisted liposculpture (EUAL), he meticulously sculpts around the buttocks, targeting the lower back,  “love handles,” “saddlebags” and inner thighs. This approach emphasizes the natural shape of the buttocks, making them appear rounder and more prominent. 

A key aspect of this technique is the artistic re-contouring of the lower buttock crease–which for many women is a flat, horizontal line–to create an uplifted, curvier appearance. Moreover, by removing unwanted fat from critical areas, this method not only enhances the buttocks but also improves the overall shape of your lower body.

Buttock augmentation vs. buttock sculpting

Our approach at Dr. Vitolo Plastic Surgery stands in contrast to traditional butt augmentation methods like the Brazilian Butt Lift surgery (BBL) and butt implants. Here’s how our technique is different:

• Natural results: EUAL emphasizes the natural shape of the buttocks, creating a more organic enhancement. BBL and implants, however, are more about adding volume, which can lead to a more noticeable change.
• More comprehensive body contouring: Because our technique removes fat from the love handles and thighs, it offers more significant body reshaping than implants alone.
• Shorter recovery time: Patients undergoing our sculpting technique experience a much shorter and more comfortable recovery period. BBL and implant surgeries typically require weeks of downtime and more post-operative care, including limitations on sitting and physical activities.
• Lower risk profile: The EUAL method reduces the risks associated with general anesthesia and large volume fat transfer, which are inherent in BBL. It also avoids complications that can arise from silicone implants, such as displacement or capsular contracture.

Good Candidates for Buttock Sculpting

Ideal candidates are adults in their late 20s to 50s who wish to address changes in their lower body or enhance its appearance. Although many of our patients are women, this procedure is also suitable for men seeking a more sculpted body profile. 

Typically, our clients:

• Have sagging or lack of definition around the buttocks
• Are at or close to their ideal weight
• Are in general good health
• Prefer natural-looking sculpting over dramatic volume increase
• Desire a shorter recovery time and lower risk of complication

However, buttock sculpting isn’t for everyone. If you wish to significantly increase your buttock size, BBL or implants might be more appropriate. It also might not be suitable if you have:

• Very little body fat for sculpting
• Severe skin laxity requiring more extensive surgical intervention
• An health condition that impairs healing or increases surgical risk

Before & Afters

Immediately after buttock sculpting, patients often notice a change in their silhouette, despite some swelling. The final results become more apparent several weeks to months post-procedure, as swelling subsides.

What to Expect from Your Buttock Sculpting Experience

Consultation 

Your journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Vitolo. In this meeting, we’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your suitability for the procedure and explain the details of the EUAL buttock sculpting technique. This is your opportunity to ask questions and set realistic expectations for the outcome. Because each sculpting procedure is as unique as each of our patients, this consultation is highly thorough and typically takes around 90 minutes.

Procedure

On the day of the procedure, you’ll be welcomed into our private clinic and made comfortable with local or general anesthesia. Using the External Ultrasound-Assisted Liposculpture (EUAL) technique, Dr. Vitolo will skillfully reshape the areas around your buttocks, liquifying and removing unwanted fat. The procedure involves minimal incisions and is carefully executed to ensure precision and effectiveness.

Recovery and post-treatment care

Recovery from buttock sculpting is relatively swift. Post-procedure, a special foam tape is used to shape the sculpted areas, and you’ll be fitted with a liposuction garment. After two days, you can remove the tape yourself during a shower or bath and then wear the garment for an additional two days. 

Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to work or normal activities just three days after the procedure. For instance, if you undergo the procedure on a Friday, you should be ready to resume work by Monday. 

Follow-ups

Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing and assess the results.

To ensure the best outcome, follow all post-treatment care instructions provided by our team. This includes wearing the compression garment as advised and avoiding strenuous activities for a brief period.

At Dr. Vitolo Plastic Surgery, we offer a suite of advanced surgical procedures that boost your confidence and help you look and feel your best. Thanks to Dr. Vitolo’s pioneering Scar Less techniques, many of our procedures involve less downtime and scarring than traditional plastic surgery.

• Scar Less Breast Augmentation: This cosmetic surgery enhances breast size and shape using implants placed through a small incision in the belly button. Women choose breast augmentation to increase fullness, improve symmetry or restore breast volume lost due to weight changes or pregnancy.
• Breast Lift: A breast lift, or mastopexy, raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. It’s an excellent option for those who wish to restore a more youthful and uplifted breast profile, especially after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss.
• Scar Less Liposuction: This procedure efficiently removes unwanted fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs and arms. It’s ideal for those looking to refine their body contours and achieve a more sculpted appearance.
• Scar Less Tummy Tuck: This tummy tuck removes excess fat and tightens abdominal muscles, creating a smoother and firmer belly profile. 

FAQs

Can buttock sculpting help with weight loss?

While buttock sculpting does remove fat from targeted areas, it’s primarily a contouring procedure rather than a weight loss solution. It’s best suited for individuals close to their ideal body weight who want to enhance their body’s shape and proportions.

Is there any special preparation required before undergoing buttock sculpting?

Prior to the procedure, you may be advised to stop certain medications or supplements that can increase bleeding risk. It’s also important to maintain a stable weight and follow a healthy lifestyle to ensure the best results.

Are the results of buttock sculpting permanent?

The results of buttock sculpting are long-lasting, as the fat cells removed during the procedure are gone permanently. However, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is important to preserve the sculpted appearance, as significant weight gain can alter the results.
