## Alternative treatments

- **Buttock implants** — Implant-based augmentation; higher infection risk but better for thin patients without donor fat.
- **Sculptra biostimulator** — Non-surgical volumisation; multiple sessions, modest result.
- **Targeted glute training** — First-line if the goal is shape rather than volume; takes 6-12 months.
