Enhance your curves with gluteal augmentation—an ideal option for trans and gender-diverse individuals seeking fuller, more defined buttocks. At Transitions, Dr. Leif Rogers and Dr. Walter J. Joseph perform this procedure using safe, aesthetic techniques to help you achieve balanced, feminine contours that align with your authentic self.
Achieve sculpted buttocks that reflect your true identity
Gluteal augmentation with buttock implants is a procedure that enhances the shape, size, and projection of the buttocks using solid silicone implants. This option is especially beneficial for individuals who desire a more prominent or rounded silhouette but may not have sufficient body fat for fat grafting. The implants are placed within or beneath the gluteal muscles to create a natural-looking enhancement that aligns with your gender-affirming goals.
The procedure focuses on augmenting the gluteus maximus—the largest muscle in the buttocks—while preserving the natural curves of the hips and lower back. Our surgeons take great care to balance proportions and maintain symmetry, helping you achieve a harmonious profile.
Gluteal augmentation can address these concerns:
- Lacking volume or projection in the buttocks
- Flat or square-shaped buttock contour
- Difficulty achieving a feminine lower-body silhouette
- Asymmetry between the buttocks
- Disproportion between hips, waist, and buttocks
Do I qualify for buttock implants?
You may be a good candidate for buttock implants if you’re seeking a fuller, more contoured gluteal shape and do not have enough body fat for fat grafting. This procedure is especially suitable for trans and gender-diverse individuals looking to enhance lower body curves.
During your consultation at Transitions, our surgeons will evaluate your goals, anatomy, and overall health to determine if implants are the right option for you. They’ll assess skin elasticity, muscle structure, and body proportions to ensure safe placement and aesthetic balance. We take the time to understand your vision and create a surgical plan tailored to you.
What are the benefits of gluteal augmentation?
Gluteal augmentation offers a reliable way to enhance the shape and projection of your buttocks—especially if fat grafting isn’t a viable option. At Transitions, we ensure a natural appearance and a balanced outcome. Some of the key advantages of buttock implants include:
- Creating a rounder, more projected buttock contour
- Enhancing curves when fat grafting isn’t possible
- Providing a predictable and long-lasting volume boost
- Improving body proportions by balancing the hips, waist, and thighs
- Supporting a more traditionally feminine or sculpted silhouette
- Correcting asymmetry or flatness in the buttocks
- Immediate and visible results after healing
The day of your gluteal augmentation surgery
On the day of your gluteal augmentation surgery, you’ll arrive at our fully accredited surgical center, where our team will prep you for surgery. After anesthesia is administered, your surgeon will make a small, well-concealed incision—usually in the crease between the buttocks. Through this incision, a silicone implant is placed either within the gluteal muscle (intramuscular) or beneath it (submuscular), depending on your anatomy and desired results.
Your surgeon will carefully shape and position the implant to create a natural, symmetrical enhancement. Once the implants are in place, the incisions are closed with sutures, and a compression garment is applied to minimize swelling. The procedure typically takes about two to three hours. You’ll rest in recovery under close supervision before heading home or to our on-site aftercare facility for continued, round-the-clock support.
Your recovery experience after gluteal augmentation
After your gluteal augmentation, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and tightness around the buttocks, which is completely normal. You’ll need to avoid sitting or lying directly on your buttocks for at least two weeks to protect the implants and support healing. Our team will provide a specialized cushion and detailed instructions to help you stay comfortable.
Most people return to light daily activities within one to two weeks, with full recovery taking several weeks. You’ll wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and promote contouring, and we’ll schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress. Your final results will gradually reveal themselves as swelling subsides, giving you fuller, balanced curves.
