There are two types of buttock augmentation:

• The surgical enlargement of the buttocks through the insertion of a synthetic implant or through the use of substances like silicone.

• Brazilian Butt Lift or Butt injections —

The most famous type of shape-modifying injections to the bottom is the Brazilian Butt Lift, although the procedure is also called fat injections, fat transfer, or fat grafting. It usually consists of a combination of liposuction around the buttocks and many injections of fat into the buttocks. The fat is your own fat that was harvested by liposuction from either around your buttocks or from your abdomen or elsewhere. This fat is then processed and purified before it is reinjected. Depending on the amount of augmentation needed, you may need to undergo a great deal of injections, which are made at various sites and depths in your buttocks.

• The lifting of the buttocks.

Surgical buttock augmentation is sometimes performed on transsexual and transgender women who wish to have more rounded buttocks. Genetic women's bodies typically have a more pronounced curve of the hips than transgendered women, so the goal may be to create a more feminine body shape. A hip implant procedure may be performed with a buttock augmentation, with the goal of creating an "hourglass figure". This surgery may take the place of the usage of hip and buttock padding.
