Before & After Photos

How should I prepare for buttock enhancement?

In preparing for a buttock augmentation and/or buttock lift, you may be asked to:

Get a blood test
Take certain medications or adjust your current medications
Stop smoking
Avoid taking aspirin and certain anti-inflammatory drugs as they can increase bleeding

Buttock enhancement surgery may be performed in an accredited office-based surgical facility, ambulatory surgical center or a hospital.

If your procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and to stay with you for at least the first night following surgery.
