 Gluteoplasty: the relative anatomic locations of the buttocks muscles, considered for buttocks augmentation. | |
| Specialty | plastic surgeon |
Gluteoplasty (Greek gloutόs, rump + plassein, to shape) denotes the plastic surgery and the liposuction procedures for the correction of congenital, traumatic, and acquired defects/deformities of the buttocks and the anatomy of the gluteal region; and for the aesthetic enhancement (by augmentation or by reduction) of the contour of the buttocks.[1]
The corrective procedures for buttock augmentation and buttock repair include the surgical emplacement of a gluteal implant (buttock prosthesis); liposculpture (fat transfer and liposuction); and body contouring (surgery, liposculpture, and Sculptra injections) to resolve the patient's particular defect or deformity of the gluteal region.
Gluteoplasty has also been applied in the practice of sexual reassignment surgery.
