Abstract: It is a surgery that improves the projection, shape, and volume of the buttocks. Gluteoplasty (from the Greek gloutόs and grupa or plassein meaning to shape), which denotes the plastic surgery and fat grafting procedures for the correction and shaping of the congenital, acquired, and traumatic defects of the buttocks. Besides the anatomy of the gluteal region, we can re-shape the gluteal area, performing an aesthetic enhancement, by augmentation or reduction of the buttocks contour. The corrective procedures for buttock augmentation and buttock repair include the surgical placement of a gluteal implant (buttock prosthesis), liposculpture (fat transfer and liposuction) and body contouring (surgery and liposculpture) to resolve the patient’s particular defects or deformities of the gluteal region.
