Your buttock augmentation surgery may be performed in an accredited hospital, a free-standing ambulatory facility, or an office-based surgical suite. Most buttock augmentation procedures take at least two to three hours to complete but may take longer.
How do I prepare for a buttock augmentation procedure? Your surgeon will provide you with preoperative instructions, answer any questions you may have, take a detailed medical history, and perform a physical exam to determine your fitness for surgery.
In advance of your procedure, your surgeon will ask you to:
Buttock augmentation is usually performed on an outpatient basis. Be sure to arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and to stay with you at least the first night following surgery.

Implants are most appropriate for treating flat or poorly defined buttocks, particularly for patients who have limited fatty tissue. They are not as effective for treating sagging buttocks that may occur after significant weight loss.
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.
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.
