Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Determining aesthetic buttock proportions is subjective.
  • Previous classifications lack comprehensive criteria.
  • Patient-specific anatomical variations pose challenges in gluteal augmentation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a standardized classification system for buttock aesthetics.
  • To define key characteristics influencing gluteal attractiveness.
  • To guide surgical planning for gluteal augmentation procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of four defining characteristics of attractive buttocks.
  • Development of a five-type classification system for gluteal defects.
  • Correlation of buttock types with appropriate implant selection and surgical techniques.
