Learn about your Buttock Shape (model)
Scottsdale – As promised, we have updated our main website, myfaceandbody.com, once again! This time we have added the section on buttock shapes. This is a very important section for all patients considering Brazilian Butt Lift to understand and read before they have their procedure.
In the Brazilian Butt Lift portion of our website you will find the buttock shapes section. The major butt shapes we might see in nature are discussed in great detail in this new section. There are 4 main shapes and these are the A shape, the Round shape, the V shape and the Square butt shape.
The results of buttock augmentation with fat transfer will vary and a major factor in the ultimate results which can be achieved is the shape of the butt before plastic surgery. A board certified plastic surgeon will tell you that realistic expectations for buttock fat grafting are very important.
This section about butt shapes is critical for you to understand what the plastic surgeon is planning to do about your buttock shape. It can also help the cosmetic surgery patient develop realistic expectations.
Update II. The 25th Breast Surgery and Body Contouring Symposium

Santa Fe, NM – Yesterday (Friday) was indeed another great day the 25th Annual Breast Surgery and Body Contouring Symposium. Saturday’s discussion and instructional plastic surgery courses were far better. I can easily say the meeting is a 10 out of 10.
I really came to this meeting to find any and many updates on the latest plastic surgery techniques. The topics for the day?
It all started with tummy tuck, lipo, and tummy tuck and liposuction. In the middle, we heard about bodylift after major weight loss, arm lift, and thigh lift. Then we finished the day with buttock augmentation and buttock lifting.
I have to tell all, this meeting was truly eye-opening. I saw wonderful results from techniques similar to those I use, but will likely begin fine-tuning my own cases to continue to achieve better and safer results with body contouring and cosmetic surgery.
Based on what I have learned, what am I going to add?
I am going to add a 5 mm liposuction cannula for my future plastic surgery cases. This size of cannula adds a little more fat for fat harvest and fat injection, especially when it come to buttock augmentation. I plan to use this in zone 4 of the back when I perform Brazillian Butt Lift. I have always been a strong advocate of small lipo cannulas, the biggest I routinely use is a 4 mm, because these improved the results. In fat grafting surgery, I clearly saw the advantage of having a 5 mm exploded basket tip cannula for fat harvest.
What else? I was impressed about incision location options for the lower body lift. I currently use an incision which is low. I prefer that because plastic surgery clients in Scottsdale, Arizona also prefer a lower incision which is easier to hide. The advantage of the higher incision relates to the contour which is achieved. A higher incision allows the patients to have more of an hour-glass contour, which is quite attractive.
It was another good day for the basic science and technique of fat harvest and fat injections. The discussion Saturday focused on the various techniques employed by different surgeons for fat grafting. It is easy to note that no one seems to use the same technique and everyone discussed was slightly different from the next.
The day in the main lecture area was wrapped up with buttock augmentation via fat grafting. The symposium was sponsored by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
