What Is a Buttocks Lift?

Butt Augmentation is a surgical procedure involving lifting of the butt combined with placing a semi-solid implant to enhance the size and shape of the buttock.

The lifting of the butt can also be achieved by lipo-transfer which involves an injection of fatty tissue harvested from elsewhere in the body – abdomen, thigh, flanks, etc. In case of using an implant, the implant is surgically placed beneath the fascia and above the gluteal muscles to augment the size and shape of the buttock. In some cases, the implant can also be placed beneath the gluteus maximus muscle.

The corrective procedures for buttock augmentation and buttock repair include the surgical replacement of a gluteal implant(buttock prosthesis); liposculpture (fat transfer and liposuction ); and body contouring(surgery and liposculpture) to resolve the patient’s particular defect or deformity of the gluteal region.

When to Consider Buttock Augmentation

• If your buttocks are too small for your body frame and you want a more balanced look
• If your buttock shape is too flat or square and you would like more curves and a more youthful appearance
• If weight loss or the aging process has left your buttocks loose, sagging, or flat
• If clothes and swimwear do not fit properly on your figure

How is a buttock augmentation procedure performed?

The two most popular methods for buttock augmentation are autologous fat transfer (using your own natural fatty tissue), also called the Brazilian butt lift and gluteal implant surgery with or without fat transfer for additional contouring.
