Staci, I personally like fat grafting for buttock augmentation if the patient has enough fat to give. otherwise implants are great. they are safe but need alot of care in the first 4-6 weeks. I would be happy to see you and discuss the options. call for an appointment. 305-9185

I am a 9 year breast cancer survivor. I elected to have a partial mastectomy and my breast are uneven. The good breast is very large causing hard to find clothes and the cancer side has a great deal of scar tissue. I am 67 yrs. old. Will Medicare cover a breast reduction?
