Buttock augmentation

simulated after (using hip and buttock padding)

There are two types of buttock augmentation:

• The lifting of the buttocks.

• The surgical enlargement of the buttocks through the insertion of a moulded synthetic implant or through the use of substances such as elastomer.

Buttock and thigh Dermolipectomy

Lipoinjection to buttocks with suction assisted lipectomy of upper & lower abdomen, upper back, bilateral hips, mons pubis, and bilateral inner thighs.

[edit] Brazilian butt lift

The most common type of shape-modifying injections to the bottom is the "Brazilian butt lift", although the procedure is also called fat injections, fat transfer, or fat grafting. It usually consists of a combination of liposuction around the buttocks and many injections of fat into the buttocks. The fat is harvested by liposuction from the patient's buttocks, abdomen or elsewhere. The fat is processed and purified before it is reinjected. Depending on the amount of augmentation needed, the patient may need to undergo a significant number of injections, which are made at various sites and depths in the buttocks.

[edit] Implants

Buttock implants are "stronger than breast implants" and made of an elastomer that cannot leak. Implants are placed using a small incision atop of the muscles above the sitting area and below the surrounding fascia to secure them. A previous technique of intermuscular augmentation only augmented the upper third of the buttocks whereas implants can address the entire area. The incision scar will normally heal such that it is barely visible by approximately one year after surgery.

In some countries, it is permissible for buttock augmentation to be done using beads of acrylic glass that are injected in much the same way as fat obtained by liposuction.

[edit] Transgender

Surgical buttock augmentation is sometimes performed on transsexual and transgender women who wish to have more feminine buttocks. Genetically women's bodies typically have a more pronounced curve of the hips than transgender women, so the goal is to create a more feminine body shape. This type of surgery is sometimes also referred to as "hip augmentation"^[1] or hip enlargement^[2]. This surgery may take the place of the usage of hip and buttock padding.

[edit] Risks

Like all surgery, gluteoplasty has some risk. In 2009, Solange Magnano, winner of the 1994 Miss Argentina contest, died from complications relating to a gluteoplasty she had received in Buenos Aires. It was thought that a liquid that had been injected into her buttocks had traveled to her lungs and brain.^[3]
