It is also important to understand the buttocks lift and reshaping surgery should address the whole back, flanks, hip and thigh as one unit, it is a rather back, buttock and thigh remodelling procedure.

Recent studies in evolutionary biology have suggested a strong correlation between the “hour-glass” figure and overall physical and psychological health. This correlation is best summarised by an ideal waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7 that transcends cultures, is temporally stable, and is cross-generational.

The purpose of the buttock musculature in stability and gait is an important consideration and often has an impact on the procedure chosen.

No procedure must be carried out on the buttock area or the posterior contour without a complete assessment and thorough understanding of the complexity of it. Patients requesting treatment should be made aware about the potential risk factors associated with any surgical procedure.

The consultation

It is essential to understand the variances between the female and male buttocks. Curvy lines, round volumes and prominent projection, characterise a women’s buttock, while a men’s buttock is characterised by straight lines, square volumes and side depressions. Sagginess of the buttock should not be existent neither full gluteal crease which may indicate early ptosis. Full assessment and knowledge of all the above is critically important and should be brought to the attention of the patient prior to surgery. The fatty fullness under the crease, what I call “Banana deformity”, Cellulite-contour irregularity of the skin and the saddlebag has to be addressed. Buttocks Lift and Reshaping (buttocks enhancement) surgery should address all the above points to be able to create desirable results that match our patient’s expectations.
