Buttock augmentation has regained prominence after... Tati Barbieri, muse of Salgueiro, and Maxiane, former participant of BBB 26.They demonstrated their treatments. Although both cases involved the same region, the stated objectives were different.
Tati was primarily looking for a treatment for deep celluliteIn addition to projection and improved skin quality, Maxiane presented a gluteal harmonization procedure focused on enhancing curves, emphasizing that she wanted to preserve the proportion between her buttocks and legs.
These cases help to clarify an important point: Buttock augmentation doesn't just mean increasing the size of your buttocks.Treatment can address sagging skin, cellulite, firmness, contour, asymmetries, and projection, according to each patient's needs.

What did Tati Barbieri and Maxiane do to their buttocks?
No case of Tati BarbieriThe treatments for cellulite depressions, the application of hyaluronic acid for projection, and the use of calcium hydroxyapatite as a collagen biostimulator were revealed. The model reported that she had already undergone treatments and even liposuction, but still had deep cellulite.
Yes, Maxiane underwent a buttock augmentation procedure.However, the article did not specify which products, quantities, or techniques were used. What was reported is that the former Big Brother Brazil contestant sought to preserve body harmony and stated that the result remained proportional to her legs. Therefore, it is not correct to attribute hyaluronic acid or biostimulators to her case without confirmation.
| Famous | What was disclosed | Perceived objective |
|---|---|---|
| Tati Barbieri | Treatment of cellulite depressions, hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite. | Deep cellulite, projection, firmness and skin quality |
| Maxiane, from BBB 26 | Buttock augmentation, without disclosing the substances or techniques. | Contouring, enhancing curves, and maintaining body proportions. |

Why couldn't liposuction get rid of Tati Barbieri's cellulite?
A Liposuction primarily treats fat volume.While skin discoloration involves a more complex combination of changes. These include the organization of adipose tissue, the quality and thickness of the skin, and the fibrous septa that pull certain points downwards, forming the depressions.
Therefore, reducing fat doesn't necessarily mean correcting "dimples." When the main cause is deep adhesions, it may be necessary to release the septa responsible for the depression. When there is associated sagging, stimulating collagen and improving skin support may also be indicated.
In practice, localized fat, cellulite, and sagging skin are different problems., although they may appear together in the same region.
What is the difference between cellulite, sagging skin, fat, and lack of projection?
Before recommending gluteal augmentation, it's necessary to identify the actual source of the problem. Treating all complaints as if they were the same increases the likelihood of an unsatisfactory result.
| complaint | What happens | Strategies that can be evaluated |
|---|---|---|
| Deep cellulite | Fibrous septa pull on the skin and form depressions. | Release of adhesions and complementary skin treatments. |
| Flaccidity | Reduction in firmness, density, and collagen. | Liftera, radiofrequency and biostimulators |
| Localized fat | Accumulation of adipose tissue in specific regions. | Treatments for fat reduction or surgery, as appropriate. |
| Little projection | Smaller volume or less prominent shape | Fillers, biostimulators, or surgical evaluation |
| Irregular texture | Thin, wavy, or poorly structured skin | Biostimulation and technologies for skin quality |
| Asymmetry | Difference in shape or volume between the sides | Selective correction after anatomical evaluation. |
The assessment should also consider muscle mass, bone structure, weight variations, and the proportions between waist, hips, legs, and buttocks.
Buttock augmentation is only for increasing the size of the buttocks?
No. Buttock augmentation aims to improve the relationship between shape, projection, firmness, and skin quality. In some patients, the goal is to subtly augment a specific area. In others, the best results come from treating sagging or irregularities without adding significant volume.
Maxiane's case illustrates this concern with proportion. She publicly highlighted that the result remained compatible with her legs, reinforcing that good harmonization should not analyze the buttocks in isolation from the rest of the body.
According to Dr. Renata Ralha, treatment planning must respect existing anatomy. There is no single buttock shape that is suitable for all patients.

What treatments are part of buttock augmentation?
In the Bumbum Up program, the procedures are combined to address different needs.
| Treatment | How can it help the glutes? |
|---|---|
| Liftera 2 | It stimulates collagen at selected depths and can improve firmness and contour. |
| sculptra | It gradually stimulates collagen production, contributing to increased density, firmness, and a subtle improvement in volume. |
| Radiesse | It can be used in selected protocols for skin quality, support, and thickness. |
| CoolPhase | It can complement some treatment plans when the goal is to address density and sagging skin using radiofrequency. |
The original protocol released by the clinic is based on the following pillars: Liftera and collagen biostimulatorsThe choice of product, quantity, sequence, and the need for combinations are determined after a medical evaluation.
How does Liftera 2 work on the buttocks?
O Liftera 2 uses focused ultrasound to produce controlled thermal points in specific layers.This energy initiates a repair response that stimulates the formation and reorganization of collagen.
In the buttocks, it can be used to treat sagging, improve texture, and promote a firmer appearance. The clinic includes thighs and buttocks among the body areas that can be evaluated with this technology.
How do biostimulators improve the glutes?
Os Biostimulators are injectable substances that induce the body to produce more collagen.They don't function like an implant and don't offer an immediate volumetric transformation.
Clinical studies with poly-L-lactic acid, a component of Sculptra, have observed improvements in contour, skin quality, and the appearance of cellulite in selected patients. However, the protocols, quantities, and responses vary among the studies.
Does Bumbum Up increase the size of the buttocks?
Bumbum Up can provide a subtle and gradual improvement in projectionIts main effect is skin redensification, collagen stimulation, and improved support. It does not produce the same augmentation obtained with prostheses or surgical fat grafting.
This difference should be clear from the consultation. For Dr. Renata, the goal is to seek... a firmer, rounder, and more proportionate butt, without promising a change incompatible with a non-surgical technique.
Does Bumbum Up help reduce cellulite?
It can help when the appearance of cellulite is related to sagging, thin skin and loss of supportBy improving density and firmness, irregularities can become less apparent.
Cellulite, however, has different causes and degrees. Deep depressions or fibrous adhesions may require other approaches. Clinical trials have found improvement with poly-L-lactic acid, alone or in combination with other techniques, but no treatment eliminates all types of cellulite.
How is buttock augmentation done step by step?
The plan begins with a in-person medical evaluationIn this consultation, Dr. Renata observes the shape, skin quality, degree of sagging, and any treatments previously performed.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Evaluation | Analysis of the buttocks, medical history, and alignment of expectations. |
| 2. Photographs and marking | Registration of the region and identification of priority areas. |
| 3. Planning | Choose between Liftera 2, biostimulator, or combination. |
| 4. Treatment | Implementation of technology and applications according to protocol. |
| 5. Post-procedure | Guidance on clothing, exercises, local pressure, and care. |
| 6. Reassessment | Comparison of progress and decision on next steps. |
The procedures do not necessarily need to be performed all on the same day. In many cases, the sequence is divided to respect recovery and allow for a more accurate assessment of the response.
How many sessions are needed?
There is no single number that applies to all patients. The amount depends on the degree of sagging, the volume of product needed, the response to ultrasound, and the aesthetic goal.
Some patients undergo one session of technology and a biostimulation program. Others require additional steps. Closed protocols without assessment can lead to both undertreatment and overuse of the product.
When will the results start to appear?
Some people notice the area becoming firmer in the first few weeks, but the main result is... progressive, because it depends on the production and reorganization of collagen.
The improvement usually continues over the following months. Studies on PLLA for buttock contouring have evaluated results over several months, reinforcing that biostimulation should not be judged solely on the first few days.
Does Bumbum Up use PMMA?
No! The protocol described by the Dra. Renata Ralha Clinic is based on Liftera and absorbable biostimulators, and not in PMMA.
Anvisa (Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency) informs that PMMA is not indicated for aesthetic volume augmentation in the buttocks. In the gluteal region, its approved use is restricted to specific reconstructive situations, such as certain lipodystrophies associated with antiretroviral treatment.
