Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. For some, the rear-end is an object where bigger is beautiful. Women who are attempting to change the shape and size of their buttocks are willing to risk complications just to achieve the look they desire. However, before someone attempts to have a buttock augmentation there are a few things they need to know.

There are two primary recognized and legitimate forms of buttock augmentation, including:

• Buttock implants or prosthesis
• Fat Transfer through liposuction and body sculpting

Foreign substance injection treatments are considered high-risk and should not be used since the volume of filler needed to augment the buttocks is excessive and can run the risk of injecting into a vein or artery resulting in a pulmonary embolism.

Fat transfer buttock augmentation offers the benefits of using a person’s own body fat instead of a prosthesis, which can slip or move out of place.
