Gluteal recontouring with combination treatments: Implants, liposuction, and fat transfer

Patients seeking augmentation or recontouring of the gluteal region have three basic options: gluteal implants, liposuction, and augmentation with fat injections. In many cases, all three treatments are used together to achieve attractively shaped buttocks with proper proportions and good projection. The treatment or combination of approaches that is appropriate for each individual patient is discovered through consultation that focuses on understanding a patient's goals. To determine the treatment(s) required by a patient, his or her unique anatomy must be analyzed to identify gluteal areas that have excesses or deficiencies that can be successfully addressed in gluteal recontouring.
