My butt has a nice shape and size but the problem is that I barely have a gluteal crease. They are almost invisible. I know that a short crease has a youthful appearance but I just wanted to deepen or lenghten these folds so that they are a little more visible.
I would prefer a permanent solution but if that's not available, could injections such as Botox be of any help?
It is possible to create a new or more defined gluteal crease. The issue depends upon the reason that you are lacking the fold - laxity of skin, too much posterior thigh fat or lack of volume of the buttock that creates the crease. The options that exist is to add volume to the buttock through a Brazilian Butt Lift type procedure or implant, lipo of the excess fat or excision of excess skin to create or re-define the fold. Without a photo or exam this is impossible to determine, but meet with a plastic surgeon to determine the best approach.

Which safe and effective butt augmentation method would you recommend for more shapely and slightly bigger buttocks?
The buttock can be augmented in several ways, one with a solid silicone implant and the other with your own fat. The implants are a reliable way to increase volume, but have limitations in both the recovery phase as well as risks of implant related complications such as infections. Brazilian butt lifts produce a larger and shapelier buttock through the injection of fat into the buttock and liposuction of the surrounding areas to make the buttock relatively bigger - making the surrounding areas smaller. However, only about 50% of the fat injected will survive and you need enough fat to undergo the procedure.
Most women and men have a more natural augmentation through a Brazilian Butt Lift, but if you are desiring a very "round" appearance, the best way to achieve this is through an implant. A "more shapely and slightly bigger buttocks" will likely be best served with a Brazilian Butt Lift, but you would need to confirm this with an in-patient consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
Best of luck.
