Saggy, flat, dimpled, or entirely non-existent... That's how most over-30 women describe their tushes. "As women age, their rear loses definition," says Dr. Justin Heller, a board-certified plastic surgeon. "As the years pass, we lose fat where we want it and put it where we don't. It's Father Time's cruel joke, but we can outsmart the process with liposuction and lifts," explains the Yale trained surgeon.

Here's how a record number of women are (re)gaining their hourglass figure: Brazilian butt lifts. "With a Brazilian butt lift, I transfer your own tissue via micro-surgical techniques to fill in the 'envelope' left vacant by time for an entirely youthful silhouette. The process is minimally invasive and the recovery time is quick. And the results speak for themselves; there's very good reason why this procedure is soaring in popularity. What women love so much about it is not just the rounder, fuller, higher rear that remains, but how we remove fat from places they don't want it to fill out the rear. This makes a remarkable difference in how you look in clothes. It's a gigantic confidence boost," explains Dr. Heller.

Where does the "extra" fat come from? Wherever you want more definition. The doctor can strategically remove fat from the inner thighs to create the much-coveted "thigh gap," and can also whittle down the sides and front of the abdomen, as well as the lower back, to make your waist smaller and your rear even more pronounced. He can create six-pack abs the same day he uses the fat removed from your tummy to build you a better butt.

There's a bonus, too. "The transference of fat improves the skin's texture, leaving it smoother and with more 'bounce.' This simple procedure will leave your body looking more curvaceous and significantly younger," says the surgeon.
Heller Plastic Surgery is located in the Atrium Building next to City Hall in Valencia. The comfortable, well-appointed office is now accepting patients and scheduling complimentary consultations. 661-233-4949
