What is endoscopic buttock augmentation method and its relevant concerns?
Endoscopic buttock augmentation.
Buttock augmentation is a beauty treatment method that adds volume to the patient's buttocks and helps create a fuller, rounder shape. It is indicated for individuals who feel unsatisfied with their current buttock size. There are two main methods in buttock augmentation: buttock implants and buttock fat grafting (gluteal fat grafting or lipoinjection).
Endoscopic buttock augmentation is a buttock implant method, but the surgery is performed with the visual support of an endoscope. This method was first performed in Vietnam by Dr. Chiem Quoc Thai in 2007.
Lower back liposuction is often performed together with this method for female patients to sculpt the lower back area and give it the optimal shape, which is known as the Lordotic Curve.

The drains will be removed after one day, and you will need to wear a compression garment for two weeks to help reduce swelling and speed up recovery. You can lie on your back immediately after surgery, but you should avoid sitting or performing any similar actions that apply strong force to the buttocks for the first 10 days after the procedure.
