different types of liposuction procedures

welcome back. before surgery, it is extremely important to have a physical examination to determine the type of buttocks you have. there are different types of buttocks, and one of the most challenging ones to correct with any buttock enhancement procedure is the v-shaped buttock. what is a v-shaped buttock? let’s take alook at this picture. the patient with a v-shaped buttock has a very small width at the lowest part of the butt compared to the top of the buttock. in essence, it creates a v.

these patients have the following characteristics: 1. they tend to be top-heavy. 2. they tend to be significantly overweight. 3. the buttock is very small. 4. the skin is very tight, not only in the central part of the buttock, but on the sides. it is important to understand the v-shaped buttock. patients with v-shaped buttocks are, in my experience, not the best candidates for a buttock enhancement procedure. yes, you can have the fat transfer to the buttock, but the problem is that these anatomical factors

are going to negatively impact the final results. to change a buttock from a v-shape to an a-shape to make the lower part of the buttock wider than the top is virtually impossible. but why is this? this is because of the following: number one, the skin is extremely tight. number two, the skin on the sides of the buttocks has a limit on how much it can stretch when fat is injected, meaning that reversing the proportions you see on this patient is going to be a significant surgical challenge.

if you have this type of buttocks, you canstill have the surgery, but you are not going to get the results you want. in my practice, i tend not to do this procedure on v-shaped buttocks, because even with my experience,it is impossible to get a result that the patient is going to be happy with. yes, there is going to be an improvement, but in the mind of the patient it might not meet their expectations. in this video we discussed v-shaped buttocks. the most challenging anatomy to correct with fat transfer procedure. next week we will discuss how the different types of skin affect the projection of the buttock.
