There are two types of buttock augmentation:

• The lifting of the buttocks.

• The surgical enlargement of the buttocks through the insertion of a synthetic implant or through the use of substances like silicone.

Brazilian Butt Lift or Butt injections

The most famous type of shape-modifying injections to the bottom is the "Brazilian Butt Lift", although the procedure is also called fat injections, fat transfer, or fat grafting. It usually consists of a combination of liposuction around the buttocks and many injections of fat into the buttocks. The fat is harvested by liposuction from ones buttocks, abdomen or elsewhere. The fat is processed and purified before it is reinjected. Depending on the amount of augmentation needed, one may need to undergo a great deal of injections, which are made at various sites and depths in the buttocks.

Implants

Buttocks implants are "stronger than breast implants" and made of an elastomer so they do not leak. Implants are placed using a small incision atop of the muscles above the sitting area and below the surrounding fascia to secure them. A previous technique of intermuscular augmentation only augmented the upper third of the buttocks whereas implants can address the entire area. The incision scar should be unseen in about a year's time.

Transgender

Surgical buttock augmentation is sometimes performed on transsexual and transgender women who wish to have more feminine buttocks. Genetically women's bodies typically have a more pronounced curve of the hips than transgender women, so the goal is to create a more feminine body shape. This type of surgery is sometimes also referred to as hip augmentation or hip enlargement. This surgery may take the place of the usage of hip and buttock padding.
