Gluteal Augmentation in Men

Clin Plast Surg. 2023 Oct;50(4):615-628. doi: 10.1016/j.cps.2023.05.003. Epub 2023 Jul 8.

Abstract

The shape and definition of the male buttock have been emphasized throughout time, as it represents masculinity, strength, health, and beauty across various cultures. Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in general has become more acceptable for men; thus, the demand for gluteal enhancement parallels this shift in social norms. Surgeons interested in such cases must first understand the aesthetic ideals and principles of gluteal shaping as it pertains to men. By using gluteal implants, fat transfer techniques, local tissue rearrangement principles, or a combination thereof, one can sculpt an aesthetically pleasing male buttock with a high degree of patient satisfaction.

Keywords: Body contouring; Gluteal autoaugmentation; Male buttock sculpting; Male gluteal augmentation; Male gluteal implants.
