Is my butt square-shaped? (Photo)

Although an physical exam is necessary to confirm, i would say your buttock shape is oval/ovoid - just like over 80% of women.  Regarding buttock augmentation, let me start off by saying that I currently see at least 2 - 3 patients per week that failed "brazilian buttock lift" (i.e. the fat melted away after 10 - 12 months) and are now seeking a more reliable and permanent option (i.e. buttock implants). One of the most important factors in creating the perfect derriere with implants is indeed selecting the right size AND shape. I have found the best way to assure this is to simply measure the actual dimensions of the patient’s buttock cheeks. With these anatomical measurements, I can select an implant that not only significantly augments the buttock but also supplies the correct 3-dimensional enhancement to look as real as possible. Traditionally, teardrop oval implants have a 20+% risk of rotation and thus unnaturally change the buttock shape/appearance when doing so. However i have recently created and patented a new "Stanton symmetrical ovoid" shaped implant that avoids this issue. The benefit of this is the fact that ~80% of women patients have more of an oval shaped buttock cheek than round, thus creating a much more natural and harmonious buttock contour. Thus, the only way for you to know what implant works best is to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon specializing in this procedure and have him/her take your measurements before selecting an implant and proceeding with surgery. The largest stock buttock implant currently available in the USA is a 690cc round implant. Indeed custom implants can be ordered larger, not only at a premium price but at a premium risk for most patients'. Unlike breast implants which are placed under the very expandable tissue of the breast and half of the pectoral major muscle, buttock implants are (most preferably) placed under (or at least within) the largest strongest muscle of the body, the gluteus maximus muscle, which is not nearly as expandable or forgiving. Thus most patients simply do not have a large enough native buttock muscle to fit an implant much over 500 ccs', without leading to significant complication such as wound breakdown/opening &/or implant exposure...necessitating removal. Some of those sought after video-vixen and celeb-types (without mentioning names) with cartoonish bottoms could have either gotten extremely lucky with a huge oversized implant (very unlikely if properly placed under the muscle), had a very large volume of filler injected such as silicone, PMMA, or hydrogel - all NOT recommended because of high risk of severe infections, migration and/or hardening over time, and even deadly consequences in rare but significant instances (if mistakenly injected into the blood stream); and/or have been genetically "blessed" - although quite unlikely.I generally do not recommend fat grafting at the same time as placing buttock implants because of a significantly increased risk of infection. For fat to survive it must be grafted into muscle, however that is also where the implant sits. Thus, if fat it injected into the implant or implant pocket then it will die and almost assuredly get infected - necessitating removal of the implant as well. Fat transfer later on must be done very carefully and cautiously, preferably by the original surgeon, for the very same reasons as above. Nonetheless, buttock implants are a proven safe and effective method of buttock augmentation as long as the recommendations of a board certified plastic surgeon specialist are adhered to.Glad to help.

Thanks for the question. Based on them a torso liposuction and buttock reshaping can be done with liposuction and you will achieve a very good result. I wish you all the best.

You would definitely benefit from a fat transfer procedure to the buttocks. Doing liposuction and transferring the fat to the buttock would give you a much improved shape. It would bring your waist in and give you more of a feminine shape. 

Thank you for your question and photographs.  Though there a number of described buttock shapes: heart, round, square and V, the most important consideration is that you can accurately convey what parts of your buttocks that you like, and those that you would like to enhance.  This will allow an easy and open discussion with your ASPS board certified plastic surgeon.  In my opinion you fall largely into a round buttock shape, but with a flatter contour from the side, consistent with a square buttock shape.  Hope that this helps. 

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Your buttock is oval shaped. Based on your pictures, you are a good candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results.
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a beautiful round, perky shape.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

You do have a square shape, but this an easily be corrected with back and flanks liposuction and fat grafts to the hips, to get a much better heart/ round shape. Best of luck, 

Hi, thanks for your pictures and for your inquiry. Your buttocks could be easily enhanced with a BBL. You are wonderful candidate for this procedure. Some lipo in your waist, lower back, and flanks would make your shape more as an hourglass figure. Please make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page. Don't forget to discuss all your concerns, options and expectations thoroughly. Have a safe and pleasant PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-Leon

We refer to your buttocks shape and silhouette as a "double bubble"; this is created by the soft tissue prominence that you have over your flanks and lateral thighs that distracts the eye from the nice shape of your buttocks. The solution is simple and can be accomplished by suctioning your flanks and lateral thighs. You can add this fat back into your buttocks cheeks if you desire more volume. Please make a consultation to discuss the specifics of this surgery and see example below.
