The difference in procedures is the extent of scarring. Flaps are used during a simple lift procedure. Fat transfer is used for patients who desire a more fullness over their buttock area. During the fat transfer procedure, the removed fat is placed deeply within the muscle and in many different layers to create a smooth surface without irregularities. It is common for surgeons to perform liposuction as well to enhance the shape of the buttocks.
Fat grafting has changed buttock enhancement to be a simpler procedure, performed within 1.5 hours, with minimal pain, discomfort, and recovery time. Candidates for this surgery are usually 18 years or older and in good physical health.

If you are a smoker, your surgeon will strongly urge you to quit at least six weeks before your surgery as smoking can interfere with the healing process and the viability of the fat grafts. Also, medications that can increase the risk of bleeding should be stopped. As this surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, it’s important to arrange for transportation.

Success Stories
Dr. Patel was excellent! He performed a Breast Augmentation on me just a week ago, and I could not be more satisfied with my results along with the overall experience. He is a very kind, personable and professional surgeon. He made me feel very comfortable, treating me like a person and not just another patient, and took his time discussing everything with me before the surgery. The staff and nurses were also very friendly and caring, taking their time to talk individually with me before the surgery, and were very comforting during recovery. I would highly recommend our doctors to my friends, family or anyone considering plastic & reconstructive surgery.

Dr. Patel and his staff are absolutely great. They went out of his way to take care of my mother in time of emergency. Another plastic surgeon refused to take care of my mother in an emergent fashion. We contacted Chicago Institute of Plastic Surgery and they were fantastic.

I went to see Dr. Patel in an emergency situation. The staff was very kind and understanding to my needs, and got me in to see Dr. Patel within 2 hours of my initial call. After that, every appointment was very fast and thorough. My first procedure went extremely well, and Dr. Patel’s follow up was more than I expected. When I scheduled my reconstruction procedure almost one year later, I received the most professional, skilled care I could have hoped for. My surgery was more difficult than our doctors anticipated, but he did a wonderful job. I couldn’t be more pleased with my outcome. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a highly skilled, compassionate, personable surgeon.

I had several previous consultations prior to my decision to go with our doctors. Our doctors was very approachable and educated me more in one consultation than from all my previous consults. He gave realistic expectations and informed me on what to expect long term, which is very important to me. My cosmetic surgery went great and I am very happy with the results. I would definitely advise this doctor..and I’m extremely picky!

CONDITIONS THAT NIPPLE SURGERY CAN CORRECT
Inverted Nipples
Many women have nipples that are inverted intermittently or constantly. It is often a source of concern and self consciousness.
Inverted nipples are caused by tight and shortened breast duct tissue. The inverted nipples can be corrected surgically by the release of the foreshortened ducts, in many cases with minimally invasive technique. Correction of nipple inversion may be performed as an isolated procedure or in combination with other breast surgeries.
Long (floppy) Nipples
Many women have nipples that become long, dark and sometimes wide in girth. This can be a result of prolonged breast feeding or can be part of normal development of the breast. This can be associated with normal breasts or sometimes with droopy breasts with wider areola (brown).
The condition is far more common in Asian women. It is not a painful condition but seems to become an issue in women who wish to undergo breast augmentation as the nipples become very obvious.
Procedure
Nipple surgery is performed in the fully accredited surgical facility, most often requiring local anesthesia only.
Recovery
Recovery from nipple surgery is rapid and return to work is often within one to three days following surgery.
