The ideal buttock: some aesthetic and morphometric considerations

Abstract

Abstract Remodeling surgical procedures of the gluteal region are increasingly popular and in demand. In most cases, preoperative considerations and planning are largely based on the surgeon’s own experience. This article reviews the existing literature on the subject, adding and encoding some personal notes in order to standardize the ideally predictable results in cosmetic surgery of the gluteal region. Anatomical and morphological considerations are described as indications for an accurate preoperative planning, outlining morphological-geometric guidelines on the ideal beauty of the buttocks, with the aim to facilitate such process for the less experienced surgeon.
