Buttock Augmentation

The emphasis placed on the breasts and gluteal areas has remained consistent over time, despite changing perceptions of attractiveness. The shape and size of these areas have long been seen as culturally significant markers of feminine beauty.

Bartelli et al. presented gluteal augmentation for cosmetic and reconstructive objectives using silicone breast implants in a patient with gluteal muscle wasting in the 1960s.

Many surgical approaches have been created and utilized since then, because of the growing aesthetic expectations and demands regarding the shape, size, and position of the implant. Gluteal augmentation has taken a significant place in cosmetic body surgery over time.

The number of patients desiring buttock augmentation and contour restoration has recently increased. Patients who seek circumferential body lifts after bariatric surgery or for cosmetic reasons want to avoid a flat buttock contour. Gluteal implants have been linked to a variety of problems and challenges. Lipografting is an efficient way to increase buttock volume in a moderate way; nevertheless, neither of these operations directly addresses ptosis. Although the technique described effectively treats the volume deficiency, it is particularly recommended in circumstances when ptosis and volume are the primary concerns. In this area, several adipocutaneous flaps for gluteal augmentation have been documented in various circumstances. The majority of these flaps originate in the superior gluteal region and maintain volume in the top half of the buttocks, failing to reach the midsection.
