The augmentation of the buttocks by injection is an aesthetic procedure aimed at increasing the volume and improving the shape of the buttocks without resorting to cosmetic surgery. This technique uses injectable products to sculpt and shape the buttocks. The results are natural and harmonious.
Unlike surgery, this method does not require recovery time, is less risky and the treatment can be customized.
The augmentation of the buttocks by injection is an increasingly popular technique in aesthetic-oriented medicine because it makes it possible to obtain curves more voluptuous without resorting to surgery. Injectable products such as Sculptra and Hyacorp, hyaluronic acid specially designed for the body, are used to enhance the volume and shape of the buttocks in a natural and long-lasting way.
These injections transform the silhouette, depending on the wishes of the patient the results can be light or more significant.
The augmentation of the buttocks without surgery is a safe and effective method. Having rounded buttocks has been very fashionable in recent years, to the point that some magazines have published headlines such as ‘buttocks, the new face’ or ‘treating yourself to the buttocks of Kim Kardashian or Jennifer Lopez’.
Flat buttocks are due to several factors.
There are commonly accepted aesthetic criteria regarding the shape of the buttocks.
A harmonious buttock is firm, rounded and has a natural curve.
Seen from behind, it is characterized by an outer convex curvature, regular and well defined.
In profile, a clear break is visible between the lower back and the buttock, reflecting good projection.
The volume is ideally distributed in the upper third of the buttock, contributing to an appearance that is both balanced and aesthetic.
In women, there are four buttock shapes :
Men tend to have flatter, square-shaped buttocks. The volume is located in the upper half, and some men have a dip on the outer side of the buttock, which gives a muscular appearance.
The augmentation of the buttocks by injections is an increasingly popular technique to obtain fuller and sculpted buttocks quickly without surgery. This procedure involves the injection of hyaluronic acid (Hyacorp) or Sculptra into the buttocks to improve their shape and volume.
The injecting physician must be an expert and have an in-depth knowledge of injection techniques and anatomy to avoid potential complications, such as infections and surface irregularities.
The shape and projection of the buttocks play a crucial role in the beauty of the silhouette.
These characteristics depend on the size of the gluteus maximus muscle and the curvature of the lumbar region, often called ‘chute des reins’.
According to beauty standards the buttocks are full and rounded and the waist is slim and well defined.
Flat buttocks can cause psychological suffering, affect self-esteem and be a real source of insecurity.
Skin laxity and poor skin quality of the buttocks can be associated with a lack of volume and worsen the patient’s perception.
The desire to increase the buttocks may be motivated by personal aesthetic aspirations, by the influence of fashion trends or by fitness icons.
Any adult patient is eligible for the treatment, in the absence of contraindications to injections and subject to realistic expectations regarding the results.
An initial consultation with the patient is essential. This consultation allows to :
A cooling-off period of 15 days (time between the initial consultation and the injection) is a medical-legal requirement.
The steps are as follows :
The injections of Hyacorp are the treatment of choice if one wants to give significant volume to the buttocks.
This hyaluronic acid, designed for the body, is highly volumizing. The advantage, compared with prostheses, is being able to place it throughout the entire buttock (prostheses are placed at the level of the upper two thirds), which makes it possible to shape the external convexity of the buttocks, impossible to obtain with implants.
The injection is performed at the office under local anesthesia.
Depending on the morphology of the buttocks and the anatomy of the patient Dr Romano proposes the most harmonious and suitable filling pattern.
A cannula is used to treat the area safely and uniformly. The session lasts about one hour.
Resuming normal activities is possible immediately after the injection.
The cost is high because of the quantities used : twenty to thirty syringes may be used.
Hyacorp is a resorbable product, therefore the result is not definitive.
Maintenance sessions should be planned, every year and a half two thirds of the product used during the initial injection must be reinjected.
The injections of Sculptra are very widespread in the USA and in Brazil where the Sculptra butt lift is a common procedure.
This product stimulates the production of collagen which improves the quality of the skin and shapes the buttocks.
This technique has advantages compared with Hyacorp injections :
The downside is the moderate volume that can be achieved.
The increase in the volume of the buttocks can be achieved either through injections of hyaluronic acid or by placing buttock implants. These two methods meet different indications and expectations.
Injections of hyaluronic acid constitute a non-surgical solution, less invasive and not requiring a recovery period. They make it possible to obtain a natural and adjustable result, with the possibility of gradually adjusting the volume and shape over the course of the sessions. This approach offers significant personalization, both in terms of contour and projection, but the result remains temporary and requires maintenance sessions.
Buttock implants are part of a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. They make it possible to obtain a greater volume in a single operation and offer a long-lasting result. However, this technique involves surgical risks, particularly infectious or related to implant displacement, and implies a longer recovery period. Customization is also more limited, as the final shape of the buttocks depends largely on the type of prostheses used.
Injections and lipofilling are two different techniques to increase the volume of the buttocks.
Lipofilling, or autologous fat grafting, consists of taking fat from another part of the body (from the patient) and injecting it into the patient’s buttocks. This method presents the disadvantages of an aesthetic surgery procedure : general anesthesia, infections and the recovery period.
The results are not immediate, it is necessary to wait for the disappearance of the edema caused by the procedure. Patients often complain about the duration of the result (which is not definitive) and about surface irregularities due to the irregular reabsorption of fat.
In the case of injections the physician uses a product to increase the volume of the buttocks. The results are immediate but temporary, requiring maintenance sessions every 12–18 months. No recovery period is necessary and resumption of daily activities is immediate.
Yes, it is possible to increase the volume of the buttocks without surgery, this is done by injection of Sculptra or Hyacorp.
These non-surgical methods are ideal for patients who want to improve the shape and volume of their buttocks without having to undergo the constraints of a surgical procedure. Sculptra injections stimulate collagen production for progressive and long-lasting results, while Hyacorp injections, hyaluronic acid specially designed for the body, give immediate but less long-lasting results.
These procedures allow personalization of the treatment according to the wishes of the patient. The results are natural and harmonious.
The injection of the buttocks with Sculptra or Hyacorp gives visible and natural results.
Results are tailored to the patient’s wishes — the treatment is personalized.
The duration of the results depends on the product used.

The benefits of Hyacorp injections are immediate but temporary, about twelve months.
The durability of the effects is also influenced by the patient’s lifestyle, metabolism and anatomy.
Maintenance sessions every year and a half should be planned.
The price of a buttock augmentation by injection depends on the product used — hyaluronic acid Hyacorp or Sculptra — as well as on the quantity required to achieve the desired result. The price of one Hyacorp syringe is 300 CHF, but this type of treatment generally requires between 20 and 40 syringes, depending on the patient’s morphology and the desired volume.
The price of Sculptra is 900 CHF per vial. During one session, two to four vials are generally injected. The complete protocol most often includes one to four sessions, depending on the volume sought and the aesthetic objectives defined during the consultation.
A precise quote is established during the initial consultation.
