Buttock augmentation

Buttocks augmentation denotes the plastic surgery for correcting the defects and deformities of the buttocks; and for augmenting the size and contour of the buttocks. The procedures include the surgical emplacement of moulded synthetic implants; fat transfer; and synthetic fillers such as elastomer.

Lift and implantation
Buttocks lift surgery and buttocks implants are the two corrective procedures for resolving physical problems, and for aesthetically enhancing the buttocks. The buttocks implant surgery emplaces implants to increase size and projection of the buttocks and so enhance its the woman's appaerance; post-operatively, the convalescence can be painful.
Buttocks augmentation surgery (also butt lift, Brazilian butt lift) is achieved with liposuction and fat transfer to the areas of the buttocks that require contouring to achieve the desired correction. Because the adipose fat tissue injected to the patient is her own (autologous) the risk of infection is low.
Brazilian butt lift
The Brazilian butt lift also is a fat-transfer procedure that combines liposuction around the buttocks and re-injection of fat to the buttocks. The fat is harvested from wherever the patient has an excess of adipose tissue, which is cleaned and then re-injected to achiev the desired degree of correction.
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.
Transgender
Surgical buttock augmentation is sometimes performed on transsexual and transgender women who wish to have more feminine buttocks. Cisgender 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" or hip enlargement. This surgery may take the place of the usage of hip and buttock padding.
