I am a board certified plastic surgeon; and as a result of my experience and training in “Lipoplasty,” I have a sound understanding of how fat works.
Liposuction and Fat Transfer
There is a common confusion about fat deposits and liposuction. It isn’t the number of fat cells that cause an ill-contoured body shape. It is where the fat is distributed that causes a disproportionate figure. No matter how much I extract from a patient’s body, there will always be the same number of fat cells.
Fat Redistribution after Liposuction
In consideration to the various body types (i.e. square, V-shape, round, A-shape), my approach to liposuction is to recontour and redistribute the fat versus simply removing it. I call this “Lipocontouring.”
No two bodies are alike. For that reason, I use my artistic vision to help each patient achieve his or her goals.* (Patient-specific techniques can be discussed during my consultations.) I will evaluate the prospective patient’s body based on that person’s health status, body shape, and relative fat deposits.
Is Liposuction for Weight Loss
Please note: Those patients who are on the heavier side, and seek liposuction at my Miami practice, may want to start learning about all of their options. Lipocontouring may not be the best solution; especially if that person has not yet attempted the traditional methods of dieting and exercise.* Lipocontouring is for individuals who are already of a healthy shape; they just need that extra help for greater definition!*

Butt Enhancement via Fat Transfer with Dr. Mendieta
Butt augmentation via fat to butt transfer (“Brazilian Butt Lift”) is an attractive option for many men and women; due to the natural-looking results of this procedure.* My focus is not to just provide “bigger butts;” I am a Miami butt enhancement specialist who is extensively trained and experienced in using the patient’s own fat to accentuate the curves that she may already have (and/or would like to gain).*
Buttock Augmentation with Fat Grafting
In fact, 80 percent of buttock augmentation procedures I perform are via fat transfer, specifically using my “Highlight Liposculpting and Lipo Fat Transfer 3-D approach. My firm belief and knowledge of this procedure has allowed me to travel the world and lecture on its many benefits.*
Fat Transfer from Stomach to Butt
If a patient also opts for a tummy tuck (especially if she undergoes a “Mommy Makeover“), I typically use the extracted fat from the abdomen and transfer it to the buttocks. This special process entails slimming down one area by removing fat with liposuction or excision (before using the same fat to reshape another area).* Butt enhancement via fat to butt transfer allows no room for risks, such as infection. This is because the patient is using a natural substance – fat.*
However, this procedure is not as simple as it sounds. All butt enhancement surgery patients are unique, and their procedure is patient-specific.* Their goals; the amount of fat necessary to provide their desired shape and size; as well as the amount of fat that exists in the fat removal site; are all factors that will affect the outcome of the procedure.*

For the past seven years, I have lectured throughout the globe about cosmetic surgery. Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking on a symposium in Europe to several groups of medical professionals about butt enhancement and my “Highlight Liposculpting and Lipo Fat Transfer” 3-D approach. This technique entails precision and extreme attention-to-detail, using the patient’s own fat to accentuate her curves.* Traditionally, in Europe, the ideal shapes are on the thin side with narrow contours. But today, enhancing the buttocks is becoming more and more appealing on an international level.*
I have performed butt enhancement via the fat transfer method on patients from various areas of the world, including Miami, Brazil, Turkey, and Spain. Therefore, the ability to learn from and share with my colleagues from around the world allowed my experience to be beneficial in many ways.*
My personalized, patient-specific approach to butt enhancement via fat transfer was well received; “artistic,” “simple to follow,” and “revolutionary” are just a few of the responses. I look forward to the Highlight Liposculpting and Lipo Fat Transfer becoming a global approach to enhancing a patient’s buttocks and overall body contour.* It is quite interesting really. While the United States has always been a leader in facial surgery and breast augmentation, we are now paving the trend in buttock enhancement, with entire countries now adopting our best methods of enhancing a patient’s physique.*
I will be lecturing in Seattle, Chicago, Brazil, and Turkey soon. Please check back, as I will have more details to share regarding buttock augmentation.
Out of all the plastic surgeons who specialize in buttock augmentation across the country, Dr. Mendieta in Miami, Florida is one of the pioneers amongst this increasingly popular,aesthetic procedure. With so many men and women having massive weight loss through surgical procedures such as liposuction and tummy tucks, the increasing need for that perfect behind to go along with that new and improved body has become evident.*
We Keep Getting More Demand for Male Butt Augmentation!
“Women have steadily been augmenting their rears into more shapely features for about five years,” says Dr. Constantino Mendieta, a board-certified surgeon near Miami, Florida. “Now, more men are asking for a more rounded, firmly-shaped rear end.”* “Two years ago, 2% of people asking plastic surgeons about buttock augmentation were male. Now, 47% of inquiries are from men. The reason?” “Men are more practicable,” Dr. Mendieta says. “Many of these guys have a flat rear which does not bode well for holding up one’s pants.“* “However, women admire other shapely celebrities who have had their backsides surgically rejuvenated. And see buttock contouring as a fashion statement; as well as a body enhancement“.
Dr. Mendieta has two ways to add shape and fullness to the buttocks — fat grafting and implant placement. When patients have fat to spare (that’s a size eight or larger dress), Dr. Mendieta uses liposuctions fat from corpulent areas and prepares it for re-injection. He very carefully injects drops of pearl-sized fat cells into the muscle layers through one very tiny incision. The secret of his technique is positioning the fat cells on the peak of the buttocks, so the transferred fat will develop a good blood supply and add shape. Typically, one to two pounds of fat are added to each side (requiring six to eight hours in the operating room). The result is a rounder, perkier butt.* “I estimate that 75 to 80 percent of the transferred fat remains for life,” says Dr. Mendieta.
What if You Don’t Have Enough Fat for a Fat Transfer?
If a patient is thin and has no fat to spare, Dr. Mendieta uses an implant made of a soft silicone, about the size of an adult hand. Available in teardrop, oval or egg-shaped sizes, the butt implants (which can never break or leak) are placed between layers of muscles in each buttock.* After healing, the patient’s posterior has a firm, natural feel (like he or she has been working out with weights).* Patients do not actually sit on the implant; which is placed higher than the bones on which one does sit. “I learned the basic butt augmentation techniques from plastic surgery masters in Brazil where a well-shaped rear is highly regarded,” says Dr. Mendieta. “Later, I began sculpting the patient’s waist and thighs to make the rear look even more shapely and round.” Dr. Mendieta may also harvest some fat from the sides of the patient’s rear to make it narrower.* That fat is also deposited on the peak of the butt to make it shapely, (or as the doctor likes to say, “more bootylicious.“)*
The Different Types of Buttocks on Females
After analyzing thousands of patient before-and-after pictures, Dr. Mendieta classified women’s bottoms into four shapes: A, V, square or round. He concluded the prettiest buttocks are A’s that look like upside down hearts, with a wider bottom than top.* “However, 90% of men have square-shaped rears,” says Dr. Mendieta. “After surgery, these men want to have more roundness in their rears, with what weight lifters call a ‘shelf,’ or more projection.“* Other buttocks augmentation candidates include women over 50 who have developed a flatter rear; and younger patients who say they desire a larger rear to complement augmented breasts. Many 20 and 30-something women bring in photos of Jenifer Lopez or Beyonce Knowles (celebrities known for their eye-catching, curvy bottoms).* Another reason more people are having butt implants (or gluteoplasty, as doctors know it) is because of the exercise craze. Women who work out very hard tend to lose the natural curve and shape of their rears, experts say.*
Butt Augmentation Recovery
Recovery from butt augmentation surgery involves the patient wearing a compression garment for about two weeks; going back to work in one to two weeks; and returning to the gym in about three to four weeks.* Depending on how the surgical wound is healing, the patient can carefully place her — or his — soon-to-be alluring posterior in a chair the day after the operation. And may resume driving after about four weeks.*
