Also referred to as gluteal augmentation, buttock augmentation is a popular plastic surgery procedure that helps women improve the contour, shape, and size of the buttocks. The buttock area can be enhanced either via buttock implants or through fat grafting. According to a recent Persistence Market Research report, the global buttock augmentation market is expected to grow at a moderate CAGR during the forecast period 2018 – 2026. Brazilian Butt Lift or buttock enhancement done using fat grafting involves removing fat from areas with excess fat such as the tummy and thighs and transferring it to the buttocks. According to ASPS’ 2018 National Plastic Surgery statistics, 24,099 buttock augmentation procedures with fat grafting were performed in 2018 by ASPS member surgeons, which is higher than the 20,301 procedures done in 2017.
Certain factors that contribute to the growth of the global buttock augmentation market include:
- Rising consciousness among people about their physical appearance with improved lifestyle
- An increase in the number of buttock deformities due to growth in aging population
- Increasing disposable income
- The availability of technologically advanced buttock augmentation procedures
However, factors that restrain this market’s growth include high cost of the surgery as well as infections caused by the procedure.
