Buttock, or gluteal, augmentation is performed to enhance the buttock contours, size and shape. This can be done using implants, fat grafting or both in combination.
For buttock augmentation, implants similar to those used for breast augmentation but larger in size and shape are inserted to mimic the natural contours of the butt. Made from silicone, the implants are placed deep within the tissues of the buttock for a natural result that looks full, round with a better projection for a pert appearance.
During the procedure, incisions are made towards the top of the upper buttocks, in the gluteal creases or one incision along the sacrum (in the crease between the buttocks). The implants are then inserted in or above the muscle prior to the incisions being closed with sutures.
Fat grafting may be undertaken in combination with implants to enhance the shape of the buttocks and achieve a larger size whilst retaining a natural look and feel. For more information on Fat Grafting, click here.
The exact technique used, the placement of the incisions and other aspects of the procedure will all depend on which type of implant is being used, the extent of the enlargement and your individual case; your consultant will be able to explain exactly what to expect during your surgery.
Buttock augmentation is generally performed either under general anaesthetic or light sedation (twilight anaethesia) and local anaethesia. Your surgeon will be able to advise in more detail in line with your individual case.
Buttock augmentation surgery should be long-lasting so long as excess weight gain is avoided. In order to keep the results looking good for as long as possible, it is recommended to follow a healthy, balanced diet and engage in regular exercise.
Buttock Augmentation surgery requires a significant commitment of a two to three night stay in hospital as an inpatient and, post-procedure, with at least three weeks post-procedure not being able to sit down and having to sleep on your front or side. It is a major surgical procedure that will alter your shape and can have a psychological impact, so careful thought needs to be given prior to going ahead.
At Cocoona, we ask for you to conduct a self-evaluation to help you assess if you are one hundred per cent ready, both physically and mentally, for Buttock Augmentation surgery. You should ask yourself the following questions:
Once you have clarity on the above, the next step is to find the right surgeon and clinic. These are of paramount importance.
You need a surgeon who is experienced in performing Buttock Augmentation surgery, has a sound reputation and proven results. You should also look for a surgeon who will give you honest and realistic advice on what you can and can’t achieve with this procedure.
A good clinic is one that has an experienced and highly skilled surgical team, licensed aestheticist(s), well trained nursing staff, an excellent reputation, and a low complication rate. Of course, the clinic also needs to be licensed with the relevant authorities for the country or region it is situated in. At Cocoona, we tick all these boxes.
For an accurate cost assessment, you will need to book an initial consultation with our surgeon. As with almost any aesthetic procedure, the cost will depend on the following factors:
Surgeon’s Expertise – The surgeon’s fee is based on their experience. Obviously, a reputable surgeon who is established and has a successful track record will charge higher fees.
Clinic/ Hospital – Fees also depend upon the quality of the facility chosen for the operation.
Geographic Area – Depending on the city/ area you decide to have the surgery in, the cost is likely be different: clinics in larger metropolitan cities tend to cost more. You should bear in mind that the expertise of your consultant and your comfort factor with him or her should be one the most important considerations, much more so than the cost of the procedure. A cheap procedure could turn out to be an expensive proposition in the long run.
Once you are clear about your reasons for Buttock Augmentation surgery and have decided to proceed, call us to fix an appointment. The expert surgeon who will perform the Buttock Augmentation surgery will consult with you; during the consultation, you should expect the following:
Feeling apprehensive before the surgery takes place is entirely normal. Be sure to discuss any fears or concerns you have with your surgeon and don’t hesitate to ask any questions related to the results you hope to achieve.
Being well informed is being well prepared. Apart from checking that your clinic and doctors have the necessary skills, knowledge and experience, here are some more areas that you should explore:
Please feel free to add any more questions that you wish to this list before your consultation.
After your initial consultation, you will need to make the final decision regarding your surgeon. Never choose your surgeon simply based on how much the treatment will cost. Instead, focus on the following:
License & certification – is the surgeon licensed and certified to conduct Buttock Augmentation surgery by a reputable body?
Expertise & experience – the number of years of experience/ how many Buttock Augmentation surgeries the surgeon has performed previously
Before/ after pictures – evidencing their capability of past performance
Clarity on possible results – whether they are providing you with realistic expectations and honest feedback
Professionalism & comfort factor – if you feel comfortable with the professionalism and manners of a surgeon, and feel you can trust him/her with your face and body, then that’s the surgeon you should consider
Safety philosophy – if the surgeon is ready to put you at risk by recommending or agreeing to perform multiple unrelated surgeries and/or procedures on the same day or within a short period of time, you should refuse to proceed and go elsewhere.
Patient testimonials & reviews – A good reputation and a large number of positive patient testimonials and reviews on independent forums should be an important consideration in your process of choosing the right surgeon
Keep in mind that there are hidden costs in the long term and greater risks (including threat to life), associated with a surgery where costs, safety and skills are compromised. Always be wary of a plastic surgeon or clinic that is offering very low costs and/ or miraculous results.
After your initial consultation with the surgeon, once you are satisfied with the outcome of the ensuing discussions and have confirmed that you will go ahead with your chosen consultant, a date will be fixed for the procedure.
Buttock augmentation surgery usually necessitates a stay in hospital for two to three nights. In the unlikely event of complications, inpatients may face a longer stay should the attending doctor make the recommendation. Before you come in for your procedure, we recommend that you plan accordingly.
Here are some of the important steps that you must take before the procedure:
Our surgeon and patient counselor will guide you thoroughly about what you need to do so that you are completely at ease and ready for surgery and beyond.

I want to thank you for the great effort and expertise that you put in the hair transplant procedure which you did on me. You have fixed a big cut from a previous, very bad hair transplant in Jordan. It kept me very nervous and uncomfortable for very long time. Now, after conducting this surgery by you, I feel very very happy because the cut is almost gone. I like your personality and professionalism. I am really glad that I made a decision to come to Dubai and conduct the surgery at Cocoona Clinic Thank you very much.
