Five liposuction technologies are available, including VASER, BodyTite, laser-assisted, ultrasonic, and tumescent methods. The choice depends on fat distribution and skin characteristics. Removed fat can be purified and transferred to add gluteal volume and projection; silicone implants are another option. Incisions sit within natural gluteal folds, helping keep scars out of sight. The Bogotá practice has treated 9,500 patients since opening in 2008.
