Combining Fat and Implants for Gluteal Augmentation

Abstract

One of the techniques with rising popularity in plastic surgery is gluteal augmentation. From 2002 to 2014, the number of gluteal augmentations performed had increased from 614 to 21,446 [1]. Data from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery show that on a global scale, 31,330 augmentation procedures involving implant placement have been performed [2]. The global acceptance of gluteal augmentation has resulted in a sharp increase of buttock augmentation with fat-grafting (“Brazilian Butt Lift-procedure”).
