Beverly Hills patient gets Brazilian Butt Lift or Fat Transfer to Buttocks*

44 year old Hispanic female who had silicone injected into her buttocks about 12 years prior to presentation. She had buttock silicone injections done for elective cosmetic reasons. Unfortunately, over the years, she developed painful lumps throughout her buttocks and hips, pain radiating down her legs (sciatica), and severe skin discoloration throughout her buttocks and hips. She desired removal. Because of the position of the silicone injections and scar tissue, a lower than normal incision was placed in the middle of the buttock. This was to allow for maximum removal of the silicone product. This incision is called a posterior buttock lift. About four months after her posterior buttock lift to remove silicone, she presented for buttock reconstruction which included insertion of bilateral FDA approved, semi-solid silicone buttock implants and fat transfer (Brazilian butt lift or a BBL).
