What is buttock augmentation?
Buttock augmentation, also known as gluteoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the size and shape of the buttocks. There are different techniques used to achieve this, including silicone implants, fat grafting (lipotransfer), or a combination of both. This procedure is designed to create a more harmonious contour, increase volume, and lift the buttocks, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the body.
How is buttock augmentation performed?
There are several techniques for performing buttock augmentation, and the choice of the appropriate method will depend on your aesthetic goals and your surgeon’s recommendations. Below are the two most common techniques:
Buttock Implants
Silicone implants are a very popular option for those seeking a significant volume increase and a well-defined contour. These implants are specifically designed for the buttocks, ensuring a natural appearance and appropriate feel.
- How it’s done: The surgeon makes an incision at the top of the buttocks, where the silicone implants are placed. The exact location can vary, but they are typically positioned beneath the gluteus maximus muscle to prevent them from being visible or palpable.
- Advantages: They provide immediate and long-lasting volume enhancement. Additionally, since implants are not absorbed by the body, the results remain stable over time.
- Considerations: As a foreign object, implants may require replacement after several years or in the event of complications.
Fat Transfer or Fat Grafting (BBL)
Fat transfer, also known as BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift), is a technique that uses your own body fat to shape and add volume to the buttocks. The fat is harvested from other areas through liposuction—such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips—and then injected into the buttocks.
- How it’s done: The surgeon performs liposuction in areas with excess fat, processes the fat, and then injects it into the buttocks to enhance their shape and volume.
- Advantages: Since your own fat is used, the risk of rejection or complications is lower. The results tend to be more natural, and the procedure improves not only the buttocks but also the areas from which the fat is removed.
- Considerations: Not all the transferred fat will survive, so a repeat procedure may be necessary, or the technique may be combined with implants if more volume is desired.

Ideal candidate for buttock augmentation
Buttock augmentation is ideal for individuals who want to enhance the contour of their buttocks and are not satisfied with their current shape or volume. The best candidates are those who:
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations about the results
- Wish to improve their body silhouette
In the case of fat transfer, it’s important that the patient has enough fat in other areas of the body to harvest and transfer to the buttocks.
Preoperative tests for buttock augmentation
Before the surgery, blood tests, electrocardiograms, and other evaluations must be performed to ensure the patient is in optimal condition for the procedure. Additionally, it is essential to stop smoking at least a few weeks prior to surgery, as tobacco can interfere with the healing process.
Postoperative care for buttock augmentation
- Compression garments: After surgery, you will be instructed to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and help the tissues settle properly.
- Avoid physical strain: You should avoid any intense physical activity for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
- Medical check-ups: It is essential to attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to ensure your recovery is progressing well.

How much does buttock augmentation cost?
The cost of buttock augmentation varies depending on the technique used, the surgeon’s experience, the clinic’s location, and additional factors such as pre- and postoperative tests. In general, prices can range from €6,490 to €12,000, including the surgeon’s fees, anesthesia, and hospitalization costs. While price is an important factor, your top priority should be safety and the surgeon’s expertise when making this decision. You can get an estimate using our calculator.
Factors that influence the cost of vuttock augmentation
- Type of procedure: The price will vary depending on whether silicone implants or fat transfer (lipotransfer) is used.
- Materials used: The cost of silicone implants or the amount of fat required for lipotransfer will affect the final price.
- Amount of fat to be extracted (in the case of lipotransfer): If liposuction is needed to obtain fat, the amount extracted will influence the cost.
- Surgery duration: The more complex or time-consuming the procedure, the higher the cost.
- Postoperative care: Additional services such as compression garments, medications, or follow-up care also impact the total cost.

Frequently asked questions about buttock augmentation surgery
When can I sit after a buttock augmentation?
During the first 72 hours after surgery, the patient should avoid sitting as much as possible and spend most of the time lying face down or standing. When sitting becomes necessary, weight should be shifted onto the back of the thighs rather than the buttocks.
Is buttock augmentation painful?
Most patients experience some pain and discomfort during the first few days after surgery, but these symptoms can be managed with medication and proper care.
Can liposuction be performed at the same time?
Buttock implants can be combined with liposculpture. This approach enhances the overall outcome by achieving a more defined shape. Fat can be removed and reshaped from the waist, flanks, and the lower thighs to complement the procedure.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery time varies, but most people can return to their normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks. However, it’s important to avoid strenuous activities for at least 6 weeks.
Is hospitalization necessary?
It is recommended to stay in the hospital for at least one night for the patient’s safety. It’s important to note that during the first 24 hours, lying face down is not advised.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, the results of buttock augmentation are long-lasting. However, it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to preserve the results over time.
When will I see the final results?
Initial results may be visible immediately after surgery, but the final shape of the buttocks is best appreciated once the swelling goes down—typically between 3 to 6 months post-op.
Buttock augmentation can be an excellent option for boosting your confidence and satisfaction with your appearance. If you’re considering this procedure, we recommend consulting a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and expectations.
What are the risk factors associated with buttock augmentation?
The risks associated with buttock augmentation surgery include:
- Infection: There is a risk of infection in the operated area if proper postoperative care is not followed.
- Hematomas: Bruising and blood accumulation under the skin can occur after surgery.
- Implant displacement: If implants are used, they may shift from their original position, possibly requiring surgical correction.
- Seromas: Fluid buildup around the implants or in the treated area may occur and could require drainage.
- Asymmetry: Differences between the buttocks may be noticeable, and perfect symmetry is not always achieved.
- Pain or discomfort: Pain is common during recovery and can vary in intensity.
- Allergic reactions: Some patients may experience adverse reactions to implant materials or filler products.
- Poor scarring: In some cases, scars may not heal properly, resulting in visible or uneven marks.
Can I combine buttock augmentation with other procedures?
Yes, it is common to combine it with liposuction to contour other areas of the body, as well as with a tummy tuck or thigh lift for a more complete body contour.
Can I choose the size and shape of my buttocks?
Yes, your surgeon will work with you to determine the size and shape that best suits your proportions and goals.

As a surgeon, buttock augmentation represents a balance between technique and art. For me, it’s essential to deliver results that look and feel natural. I prefer techniques that minimize scarring and speed up recovery, such as fat grafting, which allows the body to be reshaped using the patient’s own resources. My focus is always on safety and on creating results that preserve the natural harmony of each body.
