Any one had one? Are you happy with it? Does it feel natural ? Do guys get it done? What is the cost? Any scars left? How long does complete healing take?
It's really a fat-grafting procedure, says Toronto plastic surgeon Dr. Martin Jugenburg,
It doesn't just change the butt; it also reshapes the entire midsection, "By liposuctioning the abdomen, the flank and the thighs, and adding that fat to the buttocks, the procedure recreates a more youthful and more perky look to the butt."
And while the procedure is marketed as minimally invasive, the technique is challenging. Critics point out that fat transfer is not a slam-dunk procedure. Up to 60% of the transferred fat may die or be reabsorbed into the body within the first four days.
"It's technically difficult," Dr. Jugenburg admits. Though fat grafting was first performed in the 1800s, successful fat grafting - perfected in New York and South America - is relatively recent, and tricky. The fat that is taken from the midsection and injected into the butt has to grow new blood vessels in order to survive.

This procedure looks decent although the results may only be short term.
Whenever I see a buttock enhancing surgery story, I'm reminded of the poor woman who had "cement, 'Fix a Flat,' mineral oil and super glue" injected into her backside by a fake doctor in an attempt to boost her behind. http://gawker.com/5861135/cement-and-glue-butt-injection-doctor-has-unbelievable-curves
Turns out there is a DIY plastic surgery trend called "pumping" where untrained 'surgeons' use industrial materials to create curves, sometimes resulting in death. http://www.npr.org/2011/09/26/140807180/the-illicit-perilous-world-of-pumping
I imagine the 'curves' in those cases would bubble like a lava lamp.
Unsure how effective exercise can be to improve buttocks for appearance, but squats will not activate the buttocks anyways. Same for "thigh buster" and other crap sold on TV by celebrities being paid for endorsements.
I have been encouraged by a physiotherapist to strengthen not only the buttocks but the muscles that girdle the core as they assist the back and prevent back injury. They are so underused it is difficult to even activate them.
You can use "butt bras" to fool everyone
