Gluteoplasty indicates the plastic surgery and lip-sculpture procedures to correct the congenital, traumatic, and obtained flaws and deformities of the buttocks and the anatomy of the gluteal region; and for the aesthetic enhancement (by augmentation or by reduction) of the contour of the buttocks.

The corrective procedures for buttock augmentation and buttock repair are the surgical emplacements of a gluteal implant (buttock prosthesis), liposculpture (fat transfer and liposuction), and body contouring (surgery and liposculpture) to solve the patient’s particular problem or deformity of the gluteal region. Moreover, in the praxis of sexual reassignment surgery, the prosthetic and liposculpture augmentation of the buttocks may be performed on transsexual and transgender women to boost the anatomic curvature of the gluteal region to be able to build the markedly feminine buttocks and hips that project more (to a corner and the side) than do strong hips.
