Male Brazilian Butt Lift

The ideal male buttock is firm. The upper lateral buttock is prominent. The lower lateral buttocks are full, and they are less prominent than the upper lateral buttock. A deep lateral gluteal depression separates the upper lateral area from the lower lateral area. That separation creates square appearing buttocks. A bodybuilder's buttock exaggerates the same pattern and is described as a butterfly. The upper and lower lateral areas are the wings of that butterfly. The groove between them stays deep.

The center of the buttock is bold yet flat. The comparison used for this look is an armored-plate chest. The shape is a plateau. The perimeter is squared off or linear. Central projection is not the aim, because a point of extra projection would round the plateau. The upper pole carries the shelf. The lower lateral buttock stays full enough that the square does not fall away at the bottom.

The prominence of the upper lateral buttock correlates with the gluteus medius. That correlation names the region. The fat itself stays outside the muscle. The lower lateral buttock is less prominent and still full in appearance. The waist and the hip are kept linear. A female transition narrows the waist and then rounds into the hip. This plan keeps a straight change from the flank into the buttock so the perimeter stays square.

Both lateral zones are required. The upper lateral zone supplies the prominence. The lower lateral zone keeps the bottom of the outline full, without becoming the dominant part. If only the upper zone is full, the buttock looks cut off. If the lower zone is built up to match the upper zone, the square turns into a rounder mass. The deep lateral gluteal depression is what holds those two fullnesses apart. A bodybuilder's buttock makes the same two zones more obvious, which is why that buttock is called a butterfly.

The armored-plate comparison is a chest with a flat center and a linear edge. The photograph next to that comparison is a chest. It is there for the shape idea. It is not a buttock view, and it is not a diagram of the gluteus medius.

Functional concerns are as important as the shape. The plan includes an upper lateral shelf. The shelf holds jeans up. A female buttock is given a smooth transition between the lower back and the upper buttock. A male buttock maintains a strong transition between a fuller upper buttock and a cored-out lower back and flanks.

Upper buttock fullness is achieved by transferring fat to the area correlating with the gluteus medius. The lateral lower back and the flanks are emptied. That emptying removes the love handles. A love handle on the flank softens the ledge the jeans need. With the flank cored out, the fuller upper lateral buttock is the ledge.

The shelf is a change in contour. It is not a pad stacked on a round buttock. The lower back stays emptied so the transition stays strong. If fat were left in the flank, the square perimeter would blur and the waistband would have no shelf to sit on. The female plan fills across that lower-back transition. This plan clears it.

The ledge sits on the upper lateral buttock, which is the zone that correlates with the gluteus medius. It does not come from filling the whole buttock, and it does not come from filling the center. Jeans rest there because the flank above the ledge has been cored out. A smooth passage from the lower back into the upper buttock would erase that resting place. Keeping the passage sharp is the functional reason for the emptied flank.

A fuller upper buttock with a full flank above it has no ledge. Once the lower back and flanks are cored out, the upper lateral fullness stands away from the back. That is the shelf jeans sit on. The lower lateral fullness stays, at a lower prominence, so the square is finished below the depression. Fat grafting puts volume only in those two zones, in the fat over the glute. The center stays bold and flat, which keeps the plateau.

The perimeter is meant to look linear from the back, on both sides. That is the plateau. The center can look bold without projecting past that perimeter. The butterfly description is the athletic exaggeration of the same upper lateral zone and lower lateral zone, with the depression still visible between them. Nothing in the plan asks for a narrow waist that flares into a round hip. The waist and the hip stay in line with the squared edge.
