Good Candidates for Buttock Enhancement
Ideal buttock enhancement candidates are individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of their buttocks due to flatness, sagging, or asymmetry. Candidates should be in good health, have realistic expectations about the results, and be committed to maintaining a stable weight.
Results of Buttock Enhancement
Patients can expect immediate changes with continuous improvement as swelling subsides and the implants or transferred fat settles into their natural position. The final results are long-lasting when patients follow post-operative care instructions and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The specific technique (or combination of techniques) used—implant placement, lifting techniques, or fat grafting—is determined based on the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.

As with any surgical procedure, buttock enhancement carries risks such as infection, asymmetry, and complications related to anesthesia. Dr. Bolden ensures all patients are fully informed about potential risks and feel confident in their choice to undergo surgery before proceeding.
Recovery varies based on the specific procedure performed but generally includes taking prescribed pain medication, avoiding direct sitting for a couple of weeks, and wearing compression garments. Dr. Bolden and her team provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions and support throughout recovery.
The cost of buttock enhancement varies depending on the procedure type and complexity. Cultura Plastic Surgery offers transparent pricing and discusses all financing options during the consultation to ensure no surprises.
