Buttock Shapes.

Scottsdale – It is true, at some point in our lives, we will all think about our butts!

Isn’t important to know what shape your buttock is? This article is for those who have a desire to better understand the aesthetics of the gluteal region and plastic surgery of the buttocks.

At this point in time, there is still a lot of work being done to document all the aesthetic points associated with the butt. No one, including myself, especially in a short blog, has been able to cover all the facts.

So, this is a primer that can help the plastic surgery patient who is looking for more information about buttock surgery. It is a beginning and will be updated on the blog with future articles on butt aesthetics and plastic surgery techniques developed specifically for the buttocks.

The most recent work on buttock aesthetics has been out of Miami, Florida, which has also served as the buttock surgery capitol for some time now. This body of work has helped tremendously to clarify some of the points I am going to discuss here today.

Common Buttock Shapes.

The 4 Basic Gluteal Shapes affecting Buttock Plastic Surgery.

There are four 4 basic shapes: The A shape (top left), the V shape (bottom right), the round (top right), and the square (bottom left). However, these general shapes may not classify every single buttock type seen in the world. The most attractive shapes visually appear to be the A and the round. Square butts and V shapes are the least attractive in that respective order.

Buttock Surgery at a Plastic Surgeon’s Office.

Other shapes, which are actually variations of the main four, are seen commonly in a board certified plastic surgeon office. Of course, we cannot simply talk about the buttocks without considering the surroundings. We must consider the relationship of the lower and upper back, the hips and outer thighs, and how these relate to the buttocks. In many cases, the surrounding fat pockets reduce the aesthetics of the buttocks and any cosmetic surgery for the buttocks should consider carefully reducing or removing these surrounding fat pads.
