Buttock enlargement or augmentation is an increasingly popular procedure. It allows flat or poorly developed buttocks to be enhanced. While many women will increase the size of their breasts, they find that there is an imbalance between their front and the back. Buttock enlargement addresses this disproportion. There are many women who have the curves of the breasts and the thighs, and need to round out the buttocks as well. This procedure is especially popular with Latinos and African Americans, but is often performed as well on whites.

Before the advent of fat grafting the technique employed the use of solid silicone implants, which is still used by some today. However the technique is more difficult, more painful postoperatively, fraught with more complications needs longer post-op recuperation and the results are never quite natural because of the presence of a foreign body. The use of fat grafting has revolutionized buttock augmentation. It is simpler to perform, with a usual operative time of 1-½ hours. It has minimal pain and discomfort postoperatively, and requires minimal recuperation.

An additional benefit is that in removing fat from the donor site(s) to be used for the grafting, such as the abdomen, the patient also benefits from a modified liposuction to the donor site. The fat is injected through two very small incisions and is carefully layered through tunnels throughout the buttocks. In 30% to 35% of the patients a repeat fat grafting is necessary because of significant absorption of fat. However, it is unlikely that further fat grafting beyond the second treatment will be necessary. An important consideration for buttock fat grafting is the availability of extra fat in different parts of the body. While fat is usually in abundance, there are patients in whom there is no extra fat available. In these patients buttock augmentation with fat is obviously not feasible.
