Gluteal Augmentation
For many women and men, the butt is a major area of cosmetic concern. Having an insufficient or sagging butt can prevent women from wearing many clothes they would otherwise wear. While this condition may be hereditary, it can also come following weight loss or weight gain.
Quick Info
- Gluteal Augmentation (sometimes referred to as “Brazilian Butt Lift”) is a 2-3 hour procedure where liposuction is done to your back, hips, and other areas to harvest fat and re-inject it into your buttocks. This liposuction is also used to shape the area around your gluteal area to give you more “roundness”.
- The fat re-injected into your buttocks can shape and augment the size of your gluteal area. Depending on your body and how you heal, up to 80-90% of the fat lasts for many years.
- After the surgery, the recovery is about 1-2 weeks where you should avoid sitting for extended periods of time and you must sleep on your stomach or side.
- We recommend fat injection over silicone buttock implants for safety reasons.

About the Gluteal Augmentation Procedure
A Gluteal Augmentation is a surgical procedure that serves to improve the size or shape of the buttocks. The Gluteal Augmentation is performed by liposuctioning fat from around the buttocks and reinjecting your own fat into the buttock to increase volume and modify the shape.
A Gluteal Augmentation is an outpatient procedure (you can go home after the surgery), and is typically completed in about 2 hours. The recovery time is about 3-4 days, but you should not sit for long periods of time for 2-4 weeks after the surgery.
