Butt Implants at BongBong Plastic Surgery
By meeting with various doctors from Brazil, Mexico, and the United States, where body contouring procedures are widely performed, we developed and refined our buttock augmentation and body contouring techniques to complete our One-Day Buttock Augmentation procedure.
A beautiful buttock contour is created by carefully refining the lines and volume of the butt and thighs through precise calculations and meticulous surgical techniques.

How Is Butt Implant Augmentation Performed?
Implant-based buttock augmentation involves making a vertical skin incision of approximately 4–5 cm in the crease between the buttocks. A pocket is then created deep within the central layer of the gluteal muscles, where the buttock implant is precisely inserted to enhance the volume and firmness of sagging buttocks.
Before surgery, BongBong Plastic Surgery performs a 3D analysis of the hip and body shape and evaluates the development of the gluteal muscles in order to select the buttock implant most suitable for each individual’s body proportions.

Understanding Hybrid Butt Augmentation
Hybrid buttock augmentation combines fat grafting with traditional implant-based butt augmentation, which previously relied solely on implants. It has now become a widely used approach for buttock enhancement.
It allows for the desired increase in volume, natural curves, and a more natural feel.

SCI-Indexed Journal Publication
BongBong Plastic Surgery’s revision technique for buttock augmentation using the Hybrid Gluteal Augmentation method was published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, one of the world’s most prestigious plastic surgery journals (Impact Factor: 3.784), and was selected as an Editor’s Recommended Article.

Buttock augmentation is considered a highly complex procedure due to the difficulty of the surgical techniques and the need to manage potential complications.
The published technique was recognized as a new and refined surgical approach designed to minimize complications and adverse effects.
Benefits of a Hybrid Butt Augmentation
01
Longer-Looking Legs
The lower curve of the buttocks is lifted, creating the appearance of longer legs.
02
Two-in-One Effect
Fat is removed from areas where reduction is desired and transferred to areas that need more volume, creating a customized reshaping effect.
03
Ideal Connection of the Waist, Hips, and Thighs
Maximizes the seamless contour connecting these three areas to create a beautifully balanced back profile.
Why Choose BongBong for Hybrid Buttock Augmentation
01
Detailed Design to Complete the Hip Line
Simply increasing hip volume cannot achieve balance of your back profile. We design by considering overall body harmony, from the hips to the surrounding body shape.
02
Fat Grafting for Butt Augmentation
BongBong Plastic Surgery utilizes the MicroAire device for safe, scar-free fat grafting.
03
Stem Cell Injection
Stem cell injections are combined to enhance fat tissue survival rate and improve skin elasticity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What butt augmentation options are available?
You can choose implant-based butt augmentation, autologous fat butt augmentation, or a hybrid approach that combines implants and fat grafting.
What is hybrid butt augmentation?
Hybrid butt augmentation combines butt implants with fat grafting to add volume while creating a smoother, more natural-looking curve from the waist through the hips and thighs.
How long does implant-based butt augmentation take?
Implant-based butt augmentation takes about 3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. A one-day hospital stay is listed, and stitches are removed after 7 days.
How long does hybrid butt augmentation take?
Hybrid butt augmentation takes about 1 hour and is performed with sedation. Hospitalization is not required, and stitches are removed after 7 days.
How are butt implants inserted?
A vertical incision of about 4–5 cm is made in the crease between the buttocks. A pocket is created deep in the central gluteal muscle layer, and the implant is placed there to add volume and firmness.
How is the implant size selected?
Your hip and body shape are analyzed in 3D, along with the development of your gluteal muscles, to select an implant suited to your body proportions.
Who may be a candidate for butt implants?
You may be a candidate if you have sagging buttocks, limited waist-to-hip definition, uneven buttock size or volume, or insufficient overall buttock volume.
Who may be a candidate for hybrid butt augmentation?
Hybrid augmentation may suit you if you have a slender body type, differences in pelvic shape or buttock volume from side to side, or a flat or straight-looking lower-body contour from the waist through the thighs.
What are the potential benefits of hybrid butt augmentation?
The procedure can lift the lower buttock curve for a longer-leg appearance, reshape areas by removing and transferring fat, and improve the transition between the waist, hips, and thighs.
Will I need a surgical drain after butt implant surgery?
A surgical drain is generally not required because there is typically very little bleeding during the procedure.
Can I sleep on my back after butt augmentation?
Yes. You can sleep on your back even on the day of surgery because the incision is carefully and securely sutured.
What should I avoid after butt implant surgery?
For the first 1–3 months, avoid sitting for long periods on cold or hard floors or chairs. You should also avoid buttock injections during that period.
Do I need fat grafting if I get butt implants?
Implants can add volume and improve overall shape, but they do not fill hollow areas such as hip dips. Adding fat grafting may create a smoother, more balanced contour, and contouring fat around the love handles or outer thighs can further enhance the result.
How much transferred fat may survive after fat grafting?
Approximately 60–70% of grafted body fat may survive and become established.
Can I sleep on my side after fat grafting?
Because transferred fat needs time to settle, avoid remaining in the same position for extended periods for up to 3 months after the procedure.
What is the difference between butt implants and fat grafting?
Butt implants use specialized implants placed through an incision in the crease between the buttocks to provide more defined volume and lifting. Fat grafting transfers your own fat from areas where it is unwanted to areas needing volume, which can provide a natural feel and appearance with potentially less visible scarring.
