Buttock Lift
If you are one of those who wants to enlarge or reshape their buttocks and have discovered that diet or exercise is not really helping, then buttock lift may be the right solution you have been looking for. A buttock lift or buttock augmentation contours the buttocks and compensates for low level of fat in that area. Men and women who want to enlarge their bottoms can have a more voluptuous and perky profile. Buttock lift can also be gained through injections of the patients own body fat or with the help of silicone implants. Buttock lift is basically performed on those people who have large amounts of loose hanging skin on the buttocks and on the back of their upper thighs. Butt lift may also improve the appearance of cellulite and its main aim to return the body to a normal appearance after losing skin elasticity due to excessive weight loss and age related changes. Though small amount of fat can also be removed with excess skin, butt lift also removes significant fat deposits.
