Posterior Body Lift with Auto Augmentation- Anyone have the auto augment done?

[AvaFern 3,516]

So everyone, I posted a few weeks ago about the posterior body lift and most of you said you were very happy with your results. Today was my last consult before my surgery (posterior body lift and revision on thigh lift) and I told my doctor I was concerned about having a flat butt. I am very white girl no butt shaped and while it didn't bother me before, once all of the skin is removed and lifted, my backside will look like a flat board. So, my doctor isn't a fan of implants, so first we discussed taking some fat from Lipo and placing it into the buttox, which much to my delight he pinched me in a few places and said I don't have anywhere near enough fat for that procedure (YAY!, lol). So, the other option is auto augmentation, more specifically it's called autologous gluteal augmentation, where essentially they put part of what they would have removed into the upper pole of your butt, so that you end up with a rounder bum and avoid the totally flat problem I would have had. The thing is..I don't see a lot of people who have had this procedure done and there isn't a ton of information online about it.

My question is...did anyone have the auto augmentation done on their butt and if so, do you like your results?

Thank-you!

Yes, I had it done. I added it during markup and am extremely pleased with the results. I don't have any pics that show a comparison of before and after. It did feel weird for the first five months. Harder to lay on my back. It makes my jeans fit so much better. I've even been told my ass is smokin when I've been in running tights. Not bad for 49!

A good number of Dr Sauceda patients had this done. I hear good things about it. I however remain a skinny ass

Thank-you ladies! Today was the first I had ever heard about the procedure. I had myself all mentally ready for just the lower body lift and thigh revision, so now that we've added in the augmentation I'm all stressed out about the procedure again, lol. During my first plastics, I added in the abdominoplasty, which I was SO glad I did and during my second set of procedures, I added the arm lift, which again I was super glad I went for. I'm hoping the augment goes along the same route, although this is the first time in my life I've ever debated getting a bigger, or at least rounder, butt, lol.

@@AvaFern I will donate some of my butt to you if you need it!! I have more than enough! Little in the middle but I got much back!! Ha!

I am really glad you asked this question. I swear everyday my butt gets a little flatter. I know I have a ways to go but am definitely going to require some plastics.

I hope all goes well with your surgery!

I was sitting on my tail bone in pain daily, but after my butt lift, I can proudly say, I Love My Butt, and do not experience the pain that I once had. I am no longer flat and flabby. My PS, Dr. Victor Gutierrez used the upper flaps of my lower back, and inserted them into my butt. Pictures are in my gallery.

 I had the Brazilian butt lift when I had my LBL done last year. The back flanks (the back flap fat, still attached to the blood source) were inserted into the butt to add fullness. This procedure is far superior to just adding fat as they say 1/2 of that can be reabsorbed into the body. I had my surgery with Dr Victor Gutierrez he did really nice job. there are pictures on my page or also at realself.com
