Abstract

Gluteal augmentation with autologous fat transfer is an increasingly popular procedure that has the ability to transform a patient's entire body silhouette and gluteal appearance. Proper patient selection, preoperative evaluation, and planning are critical to the success of the procedure. Using the preoperative planning, surgical technique, and postoperative care described, the procedure can be performed safely with powerful and consistent results and avoidance of complications associated with gluteal fat transfer.
