Gluteal augmentation, often referred to as the Brazilian butt lift (BBL), is a popular procedure used to enhance the shape and size of the buttocks. This procedure is most commonly performed using buttock implants, fat grafting, or injection of fillers. BBLs first originated in the 1960s when Dr. Ivo Pitanguy, a Brazilian surgeon, published his article "Body Contour" in the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery. 1 Pitanguy's first buttock lift procedure, which awarded him recognition as the pioneer of BBL surgery, was aimed toward correcting body contour anomalies. Over the following decades, this lifting technique was further developed into modern BBL techniques.In 2019, there were 28,076 BBL procedures performed in the United States, which represents a 117% increase from the previous year. 2 It can be assumed that the rising popularity of the BBL is paralleled by an evolving obsession with social media "aesthetics." 3 Statistics show that patients have increasingly used social media as reference, arguably as a way to achieve Background: Gluteal augmentation is used to improve the size and shape of the buttocks. Unlike other anatomical areas, such as the breasts, where there are classification systems for size and projection, no standardized methods for classifying gluteal size and shape exist. Patients seeking augmentation rely on photographs to communicate their desired result to surgeons. The authors' study objectively reviews this topic and proposes a novel classification system for the buttocks that can provide an organized framework for patients and providers. Methods: A systematic of the literature was conducted on March 17, 2021, using various combinations of the following terms: "gluteal augmentation," "classification," "size," "gluteoplasty," and "Brazilian butt lift." All eligible articles were included for analysis. Results: The PubMed/MEDLINE searches yielded 49 articles and abstracts. After review, eight publications were chosen for analysis. All publications were found in plastic surgery journals, with the most common journals as follows: Aesthetic Surgery Journal (n = 4), Clinics in Plastic Surgery (n = 2), Annals of Plastic Surgery (n = 1), and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (n = 1). There are no articles in the plastic surgery literature that provide a standardized classification system for gluteal size determination. Conclusions:The authors' study revealed the need for a standardized classification system for gluteal size and shape. Although the publications analyzed discussed various techniques for related procedures and provided ways to improve aesthetic outcomes, none presented a system for reproducibly classifying size and shape. By introducing a classification system, we hope to enable plastic surgeons to more accurately and efficiently discuss their patient's goals. (Plast.

“…Previous studies have defined the anatomical bases, surgical technique, methods for implant choice, postoperative complications, assessment of volumetric changes, and dynamometry of the gluteus maximus muscle. [3][4][5][6][7][14][15][16] Now, we seek to understand whether the foundations and bases defined for this procedure are safe in the long term (Fig. 5).…”

Background: The insertion of gluteal silicone implants by intramuscular technique leads patients to develop gluteus maximus muscle atrophy. The objective of the present study was to correlate the muscular atrophy of the gluteus maximus proportional to the volume of the silicone implants used. The secondary objectives were to assess volumetry of the gluteus maximus muscle in the late follow-up, to assess the positioning of the implants, and to verify the association between volumetric muscle recovery and practice of physical exercise. Methods: This is a prospective study. The sample was composed of 22 patients who were operated and followed up on an outpatient basis and through gluteus computed tomography at three different moments: preoperatively, 12 months postoperatively, and late postoperatively (≥96 months). Results: Computed tomographic three-dimensional reconstruction and volumetric analysis showed a median atrophy of 6.68% of the gluteus maximus muscle volume in 12 months and 7.47% in the late postoperative period. The correlation between relative volume of the implant and atrophy percentage of the gluteus maximus did not present statistically significant results. There was an association between the practice of physical exercise and volumetry recovery of the gluteus maximus. No patient presented gluteal implant rotation. Conclusions: There is no correlation between proportional volume of implants and atrophy percentage of gluteus maximus muscle, when using implants up to 400 cm3. The gluteus maximus muscle presents atrophy in the late follow-up of augmentation gluteoplasty with implants. There is recovery of muscle volumetry in the patients who practice physical activities. Intramuscular plane implants demonstrated stability in their long-term positioning. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, IV.

“…Aboudib et al reported no statistical correlation between the cosmetic effect evaluated by plastic surgeons and the volume of the prosthesis, or between the volume of the prosthesis and the volume of the muscle. Therefore, they believed that a preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan was not necessary for the operation (30). An MRI is more expensive than CT and is generally not a preoperative routine inspection for buttock augmentation.…”
