Butt Augmentation in Beverly Hills, CA
Many women agree that the ideal body shape includes nicely rounded and shapely buttocks. For women who are not naturally blessed with such a backside, butt augmentation can provide the desired curves. Using butt implants or fat transfer, Dr. Robert Rey can perform butt augmentation to give you a more ideal butt, complete with the volume, shape, and curves you’ve always wanted.
What Is Butt Augmentation?
Butt augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the shape and size of the buttocks. Silicone implants or the patient’s own body fat can be used to augment the butt, leaving you with a rounder, fuller, more pleasantly shaped butt.
Am I a Candidate for Butt Augmentation?
Candidates for butt augmentation are typically adult women with small, flat, flabby, or sagging buttocks who want to change the appearance of their butt. Depending on your anatomy and desired results, you may qualify for only one or both surgical techniques.
Schedule your consultation with Dr. Rey to determine if you’re a good candidate for this procedure. During a consultation, you’ll discuss your medical history and your goals for your butt augmentation. Dr. Rey will inform you what surgical techniques can be used to achieve your desired results.

How Is Butt Augmentation Performed?
For a butt augmentation with implants, Dr. Rey will create incisions in the natural crease of the butt, allowing him to access the treatment area. He will insert the silicone implants into the buttocks through the incisions and position them so they are in the best spot. Lastly, Dr. Rey will close the incisions and wrap a compression garment around the area.
For a fat transfer butt augmentation, you will first have to undergo liposuction so sufficient fat can be gathered for your transfer. Dr. Rey will create incisions and use a cannula to remove excess fat from the chosen areas of your body (typically the stomach, hips, back, or thighs) and then process the fat. After this, the fat is reinjected into the butt to add volume and improve the shape. Similarly to the butt implant procedure, the incisions will be closed, and you’ll wear a compression garment.
What Is the Recovery From Butt Augmentation Like?
Following your procedure, you will experience mild side effects, such as bruising and swelling. A specialty compression garment may be given to you to wear to reduce swelling and maintain your new shape. You should plan to sleep on your stomach and avoid sitting as much as possible for two to three weeks after your procedure so that you do not compromise your results. Most patients can return to work within two weeks if their jobs do not require prolonged sitting. You will most likely be able to resume exercise after four to six weeks. Swelling typically subsides after six weeks. Specific recovery guidelines will be given to you before your procedure.
What Results Can I Expect After Butt Augmentation?
Results From Butt Implants
Butt implants can significantly enhance the shape and fullness of your buttocks. With implants, your buttocks will appear dramatically fuller, rounder, and firmer. This technique can produce defined curves for women who lack natural roundness and firmness, especially in the upper buttocks. Butt implants provide a more round appearance to the buttocks than fat transfer augmentation. The results of butt augmentation with implants are long-lasting.
Results From Fat Transfer (BBL)
During a BBL procedure, Dr. Rey will initially inject more fat than is necessary to augment your buttocks. This is because your body will reabsorb some of the excess fat after the procedure. Once the swelling has subsided and resorption has ended, the remaining fat will stay indefinitely in the buttocks. Fat transfer results provide a natural contour to the buttocks and improve the appearance of other body areas where the fat was removed via liposuction. Your results will look natural and soft, yet noticeable, enhancing your whole body shape.
How Much Does Butt Augmentation Cost?
The cost of your butt augmentation in Beverly Hills will be dependent on a few different factors. It’s essential to understand that when you get a butt augmentation, you’re not just paying for the cost of the surgery alone. Additional costs affecting your total price include anesthesia fees, surgical facility fees, surgical techniques, and post-operative costs such as medications or a special BBL pillow.
It’s also important to note that the surgeon’s fee you pay reflects the surgeon’s expertise and the quality of care they will provide before, during, and after your procedure. A detailed quote will be provided during your consultation with Dr. Rey.

Schedule a ConsultationButt Augmentation Frequently Asked Questions
Before your butt augmentation, Dr. Rey will provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare. These instructions will include when to stop tobacco use and blood-thinning medication. Traditionally, patients are asked to refrain from these for at least 10 to 14 days before and after surgery, but Dr. Rey will provide an appropriate timeframe for your needs. Because you will need to adjust your regular day-to-day routine during your recovery, it is suggested that you plan for this beforehand. We recommend filling all necessary prescriptions, supplying your kitchen with healthy, easy-to-prepare meals, and collecting several comfy pillows (as you will not be able to apply pressure directly to the buttocks). Specialized Brazilian Butt Lift pillows can be purchased to help during the recovery period.
Anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort during the procedure so you won’t feel pain when the surgery is taking place. Any pain associated with butt augmentation occurs post-surgery during the recovery process. Mild discomfort may last for several days after the procedure and can easily be controlled with prescribed medications. Let Dr. Rey know if any lingering pain persists so it can be addressed immediately.
Generally speaking, butt augmentation with implants is better for women who need severe augmentation or who desire more dramatic results. This technique is also appropriate for women who do not have enough body fat to harvest for fat transfer. Butt augmentation with fat transfer is best for women who desire more subtle or natural-looking results. This second technique is also an excellent choice for women with surplus fat in other areas they’d like to tone.
Both butt implants and fat transfer will provide you with a natural-looking derrière. Because the Brazilian Butt Lift uses fat harvested from your body for augmentation, it may give a more natural feel than butt implants; however, both are capable of high-quality results.
Unlike breast implants, butt implants are made of a solid silicone material made to withstand constant sitting, standing, and walking. Therefore, they will not rupture after insertion.
Butt augmentation with fat transfer leaves little to no scarring due to the need for only minor, inconspicuous incisions. Butt augmentation with implants may lead to some scarring where the incisions are made, but these incisions are hidden or made as inconspicuous as possible. Your body’s natural healing process affects the amount of scarring, and any visible scarring is likely to fade over time.
After your surgery, you’ll need to avoid putting pressure on your butt, so you won’t be able to sit for a while. Typically, you won’t be able to sit down or sleep on your back for the first two weeks. After two weeks, you’ll still need to avoid directly sitting on your butt for at least eight weeks. Sitting on a pillow will prevent you from applying direct pressure on the treatment area. Remember that recovery can vary depending on the patient, so ask Dr. Rey when you can resume sitting and other activities after surgery.
Butt augmentation can be performed alone or along with other body contouring procedures, such as liposuction or tummy tuck surgery. While liposuction is required for patients undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift, it is still common for those who choose to augment their buttocks with implants.

Dr. Rey,
With a million patients I don’t suspect you remember me but you might remember the girl with the strange looking designated driver Doug! How are you? I am absolutely happy with the way my breasts turned out!!! Now I’d like to come in and have the mini-tummy tuck done. I called and made an appointment, June 3rd is the earliest I could get. I just want to be ready for the summer especially now that my husband got us a second home in Manhattan Beach. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss all this…and once again I think that you are truly phenomenal!!
Dear Robert,
When will I ever be able to make up to you the beautiful job that you did with my breasts??! Your gifted spirit allows you to bring out the beauty in everyone, no matter how much or little they have already in their favor. I feel so lucky to have been touched by your hands- I have been so fortunate that my heart has been touched by yours and will cherish this forever.
