Introduction The female body features two hemispherical prominences—the breasts and the buttocks. Although located on different areas of the body, both are subject to the same natural effect of gravity: ptosis, or sagging. This descent occurs due to stretching and loss of tissue elasticity, often following weight loss. While breast ptosis is well studied—with established Read More…
One of the most popular body contouring procedures in the past decade is BBL surgery or the Brazilian Butt Lift. It is commonly performed not only due to the rise in modern culture of the desire for a larger buttock size but also because it uses a natural material to do so. (fat) An ancillary Read More…
Background: Ptosis or structural sagging is known to affect many body areas, most commonly that of the breasts for which a classification scheme has been devised for it to help with treatment strategies for its correction. But sagging also affects the buttocks and is fairly well recognized. It most commonly develops as a result of Read More…
Background: Buttock sagging, more formally known as buttock ptosis, occurs for a variety of reasons. Large amounts of weight loss is one well known cause of the lower buttocks to bottom out with volume deflation and the creation of a relative skin excess.

Inadequate volume is the far more recognized buttock problem which can occur from either inadequate natural development (or natural development that one sees an inadequate) or from volume loss due to aging or weight loss. The other is tissue sag over the infragluteal Read More…
Background: The shape of the buttocks can take on many different forms. The buttocks have three different sections, the upper buttock, the mid buttock, and the lower buttock. Each buttock section has its own distinct shape. What separates the lower buttocks from the other two sections is the infragluteal fold. This fold makes a usually Read More…
There are numerous strategies to improving the shape of the buttocks of which the most popular is the Brazilian Butt Lift. (BBL) While this buttock augmentation method is called a lift, it really does not lift the buttocks at all. It fills out the buttocks to make it bigger or more round but is not Read More…

The vast majority of these buttock procedures, to the level of probably 99% of them, are done in women. There may be a lot of cultural and beauty standards for this gender bias but there may also be some age-related Read More…
Background: There are numerous features of a shapely buttocks. Short of a nipple-areolar complex, the buttocks share many of the same physical components of the female breast. Ideally it is an identifiable mound that projects outward away from the lower back and upper posterior thigh. While the upper pole is a smooth sloping transition from the Read More…
