Buttock augmentation
Buttock Augmentation
Buttock augmentation (pronunciation: /ˈbʌtɒk ˌɔːɡmɛnteɪʃən/) is a term used to refer to any procedure that is used to increase the size or improve the shape of the buttocks.
Etymology
The term "buttock augmentation" is derived from the English word "buttock", which refers to the posterior part of the human body, and the Latin word "augmentare", which means "to increase".
Procedure
Buttock augmentation can be achieved through two primary methods: Buttock implants and Fat grafting. Buttock implants involve the surgical insertion of artificial devices into the buttocks, while fat grafting, also known as the Brazilian Butt Lift, involves the transfer of fat from one part of the body to the buttocks.
