A More Balanced Silhouette
At May Plastic Surgery, Dr. Brian May combines a surgical buttock lift with buttock augmentation to enhance the shape and volume of the backside through buttock rejuvenation. Taking a small amount of fat from one place in the body where there is a little extra and putting it into the buttocks can create a more balanced silhouette, while removing loose skin after pregnancy or weight changes can help you reclaim your natural, youthful proportions.

What Is Buttock Rejuvenation?
Buttock rejuvenation combines buttock augmentation with a surgical buttock lift to enhance the shape and proportion of the backside. During buttock rejuvenation, Dr. May removes and tightens loose skin, then uses fat grafting to add volume. Fat is taken from areas where there is a sufficient amount to harvest, like the flanks or abdomen, and transferred into the buttocks. Buttock rejuvenation can be performed on its own to restore a more youthful and balanced silhouette, but it can be part of a larger body contouring plan for more comprehensive results.

What Can Buttock Rejuvenation Address?
Buttock rejuvenation is perfect for those who want to restore the shape and volume of their buttocks without dramatically changing their natural proportions. Lower-volume fat transfer allows for more thoughtful contouring that supports balance across your hips, thighs, waist and lower back. Buttock rejuvenation can help address:
- Age-related sagging and volume loss in the buttocks
- Flattening or softening of contour
- Changes in shape after weight fluctuations
- An imbalance between the buttocks and the surrounding areas
Dr. May focuses more on creating a silhouette that feels natural and cohesive instead of exaggerated. His priority is on structural integrity and long-term harmony with results that age well and stay proportional with the right aftercare.
The Art & Science of Body Contouring With Dr. May
There’s an art to sculpting the body that goes far beyond measurements or technique. It’s about understanding how curves interact, how light moves across the waistline, and how to restore definition without creating results that feel artificial or overdone. Dr. May brings a thoughtful, detail-oriented mindset to every contouring procedure, not just aiming to flatten the abdomen or remove fat, but to create a natural-looking shape and proportion that feels uniquely yours.
Body contouring requires precision, but it also requires restraint. Knowing when less is more, and how to shape rather than simply remove. “Body contouring isn’t just about skin and fat removal,” Dr. May explains. “It’s more important to know what to leave behind. That means looking beyond any one feature and designing something that makes sense for the whole body… something that feels natural and balanced.”
Every decision Dr. May makes, from where to remove fat to how each area flows into the next, is made with harmony and longevity in mind. His goal is always a result that enhances your shape while staying true to your natural form.

Procedure Details
During your consultation, Dr. May will select the donor areas where he will remove fat, working with you to find areas that will make the most difference to your overall shape. The anesthesia we use during your buttock rejuvenation procedure will keep you comfortable through the whole process, from liposuction to fat transfer. Liposuction only requires incisions large enough to insert a small cannula. Once the fat is harvested, it’s purified to separate healthy fat cells from fluid and other unwanted elements. Then the refined fat is injected into the buttocks. Dr. May focuses on the areas that will make the most difference to the shape of your buttocks and the balance of the lower body. When the surgery is done, you will wake up in a recovery room and go home the same day.
Recovery & Results
In the weeks after your procedure, you will have gradual healing in your buttocks and in the liposuction sites. The most common effects are bruising and swelling where the fat was removed, along with soreness in the donor and injected areas. You will need to avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for several weeks. We will give you a special pillow and show you which sleeping positions limit pressure on the buttocks.
You will see your final results both as swelling subsides and as the transferred fat settles into place. Not all of the fat will permanently survive, so your results can shift as your body heals. Dr. May uses harvesting and processing techniques that keep as much of the donor fat as possible. The surviving fat will behave just like the local fat, and you will see long-lasting improvement if your overall weight stays the same.
