This article presents an overview of intramuscular gluteal augmentation involving primary and secondary augmentation with implants. Although gluteal augmentation is a well-studied procedure, few reports have described the intramuscular technique or this technique in association with lipofilling. This article presents experience with a combined technique; this recent innovation combines placement of an anatomic silicone gel implant underneath the gluteus maximus and immediate fat grafting. Primary and secondary gluteal augmentations using implants resulted in satisfactory outcomes. A majority of complications were minor, predictable, and did not affect aesthetic outcome or normal postoperative recovery. Success depends on patient selection and careful intraoperative and postoperative management.
