Gluteal Contouring (Buttock Implants and Fat Injections) Offered by Mercy’s Cosmetic Surgeons
Gluteal contouring is a cosmetic treatment option for patients who are dissatisfied with the size, shape and contour of their buttock region. At Cosmetic Medicine and Surgery at Mercy, our cosmetic surgeons work with patients to provide gluteal contouring, including liposuction, fat injections and gluteal implants.
What is Gluteal Contouring?
Gluteal contouring, also referred to as buttock implants, gluteal augmentation, butt augmentation or gluteoplasty, helps patients regain the ideal shape or a firmer buttock area for an enhanced self-image.
Who can benefit from Gluteal Contouring?
Gluteal contouring is beneficial to patients who are displeased with flat or sagging buttocks and have been unsuccessful through exercise and diet to improve the shape of their buttocks. Gluteal contouring can help add volume and roundness for patients seeking a fuller body profile. Body builders often consider augmentation if they cannot produce the gluteal muscles in proportion to rest of their body.
What types of treatment options are available for Gluteal Contouring?
Gluteal contouring can be achieved with buttock implants or fat injections. Fat injections used for augmentation give a more natural result and contour the buttock area to enhance the overall appearance.
How is the correct size of Gluteal Implants determined?
When selecting the right size gluteal or buttock implant for the gluteal contouring, the cosmetic surgeon will analyze the patient’s body and gluteal structure for balance, symmetry, size, shape and placement.
How long does Gluteal Contouring last?
Gluteal contouring is a permanent procedure that enhances the buttocks for a younger, firmer, more curvaceous appearance.
