R&B singer K. Michelle, best known for her appearance on “Love & Hip-Hop” and her hit song “Can’t Raise A Man.” She learned to play piano and guitar at a very early age and became serious about singing in early 2005. But before signing her first record deal in 2009, K. Michelle admitted that she took fat from other parts of her body and implanted them into her butt.

It has become extremely popular for several reasons; first of all, we are augmenting and reshaping the buttock using your own body tissue. Essentially, doctors take or remove the unwanted fat from areas that have been troubling for years and then turn around and use the fat to inject in the buttock, giving a more natural-looking, more curvaceous result. This is essentially two procedures in one.

Many doctors re-shapes the abdomen, waist, hips, and then lifts the buttocks using a 3-D approach. Complications associated with this procedure are skin irregularities, fluid collection, skin discoloration, skin scabbing, skin dryness, and fat re-absorption which can really harm your organs.
