Let’s be real: you can crush leg day, nail the outfit, and still feel personally attacked by the back view. And it’s usually not about being “bigger” or “smaller.” It’s about shape, proportion, and the smooth transition from waist → hips → thighs.
That’s where lower body sculpting (surgical and non-surgical) comes in. At Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology (RAD) in Laguna Hills, CA, we take a full-silhouette approach enhancing the butt, refining the surrounding areas, and supporting results with smart, holistic care. The goal: a balanced shape that looks good from every angle and still feels like you.
Why Your Butt Shape Influences Your Entire Vibe
Your glutes are the visual anchor of your lower body. When projection is lacking or the butt sits “square,” flat, or out of harmony with your waist and hips, it can change how everything fits (and how you feel in it).
Common concerns we hear at RAD:
- A flatter or “boxier” shape that needs more curve and lift
- Loose or sagging skin after pregnancy or major weight loss
- Age-related volume loss (rude, but common)
- Cellulite or dimpling that shows through everything
Because the butt connects visually to the lower back, flanks, hips, and thighs, even small, strategic changes can make your whole figure look more refined. We’re not chasing one “perfect butt.” We’re building your best proportions.
Butt and Hip Sculpting and Surgery Options at RAD
At Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology, your plan is customized to your anatomy, lifestyle, timeline, and goals. Options typically fall into two categories: surgical transformation and non-surgical refinement.
Surgical Excellence: For Dramatic, Long-Term Change
1) Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Using Your Own Fat
BBL is the heavyweight champ of contouring for a reason: it’s a strategic two-in-one. We use liposuction to remove unwanted fat (often from the abdomen, waist, or flanks), then purify and transfer it to targeted areas of the buttocks to enhance projection and shape.
RAD takeaway: you’re not just adding volume – you’re creating balance by sculpting the areas around it, too.
2) Gluteal Implants for Leaner Patients
Not everyone has enough donor fat for a BBL. For naturally lean patients who want more dramatic projection, gluteal implants can be an excellent option. Our focus stays on natural proportion, symmetry, and comfort, so results look elevated not exaggerated.
3) Buttock Lift for Loose or Sagging Skin
If the main issue is skin laxity, a buttock lift removes excess skin and tightens the remaining tissue for a firmer, more youthful contour. It can also be combined with fat transfer (for volume) and/or liposuction (for refinement), depending on your needs.
Important note: surgical procedures require appropriate medical evaluation, and all surgery carries risk. Your consultation is where we determine candidacy and the safest plan.
Non-Surgical Options: No Surgery, No Major Downtime
Not ready for butt surgery or just looking for subtle, meaningful enhancement? We offer advanced injectable and regenerative options that can improve shape, texture, and contour with little to no downtime.
Biostimulators (e.g., Radiesse)
These do more than “fill.” Biostimulators encourage your body’s collagen production over time, helping:
- soften hip dips
- add gentle projection
- improve skin quality and firmness
Platelet Rich Gel (e.g., Cellenis Derma PRP)
Using your body’s own growth factors, platelet-rich gel supports tissue regeneration and can help:
- improve texture
- restore a more refreshed look
- add subtle volume in targeted areas
EMSculpt NEO (Non-Surgical Butt Lift + Definition)
If you want a perkier, rounder, more athletic-looking butt without surgery, EMSculpt NEO is one of our favorite ways to get there. It’s a non-invasive body contouring treatment that helps lift and define the glutes by building real muscle, not just “filling” the area.
EMSculpt NEO uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to trigger powerful muscle contractions in the glute muscles – contractions that are far beyond what you can achieve with regular workouts. Think of it like compressing weeks of intense glute training into a short treatment, without the sore knees, gym drama, or commitment to Bulgarian split squats.
What EMSculpt NEO can help with:
- A flatter butt that needs more lift and projection
- Mild “sag” or a lower-set appearance (especially after weight loss or pregnancy)
- A soft, less defined shape that wants more athletic contour
- Enhancing your natural curves without adding volume from injections or fat transfer
Why patients love it:
- No needles
- No downtime
- No anesthesia
- No scars
- You can go right back to your day
RAD takeaway: EMSculpt NEO is an ideal option if you’re saying, “I don’t want surgery – I just want my butt to sit higher and look more defined.”
It’s also a powerful add-on for patients who want to maintain results after liposuction or BBL by reinforcing the muscle foundation underneath the shape.
Focal Cellulite Release + Renuva Fat Scaffolding
For stubborn dimples and uneven texture, we can treat the structure under the skin. Renuva works like a supportive “scaffold,” encouraging your body’s own fat to populate the area over time. When paired with targeted cellulite release techniques, the surface can look significantly smoother and more even.
Beyond the Procedure: Maintaining Your Masterpiece
Great contouring is part technique, part aftercare, part lifestyle. We love results that last and that means supporting the skin and the foundation underneath it.
Skin Tightening Support
If the skin is lax, even a beautifully sculpted shape can get visually “blurred.” Skin-tightening technologies may be recommended to keep contours crisp and smooth.
The RAD “Keep It Tight” Checklist
- Strength training: glute and lower-body work helps maintain lift and structure
- Hydration: essential for skin elasticity and tissue health
- Hormone optimization (when appropriate): can support muscle maintenance and help reduce age-related changes that affect shape
Real Benefits of Butt Surgery (Not Just Better Photos)
Patients choose body contouring because it changes how they feel in their body day-to-day. Common benefits of butt surgery include:
- A more balanced silhouette that makes clothing fit better
- Improved projection and shape that aligns with your frame
- Smoother transitions from waist to hips to thighs
- More confidence in fitted clothing, activewear, and swimwear
- The ability to address volume loss, laxity, and cellulite in one overall plan
