"In the history of gluteal enhancement, Mexico City stands out. It protrudes. It was here, in 1979, that a plastic surgeon, Mario González-Ulloa, first installed a pair of silicone implants designed specifically for the buttocks. The textbook Body Sculpting with Silicone Implants calls González-Ulloa the "grandfather of buttock augmentation." The early 2000s saw a new generation of Mexico City buttock transformation luminaries, notably Ramón Cuenca-Guerra."
"In his 2004 paper "What Makes Buttocks Beautiful?" Cuenca-Guerra laid out four characteristics that "determine attractive buttocks" as well as the five types of "defects," with strategies for correcting each one. I, for instance, have defect type 5, the "senile buttock." (González-Ulloa's depiction of this took the form of charcoal nudes contrasting "the typical 'happy buttock'"-high, rounded, dimpled-with its counterpart, the low-slung, drooping "sad buttock.")"
Mexico City emerged as a major center for gluteal augmentation, with Mario González-Ulloa installing the first silicone buttock implants in 1979 and earning recognition as a foundational figure. A later generation of surgeons, including Ramón Cuenca-Guerra, developed specific aesthetic criteria, identifying four characteristics of attractive buttocks and five defect types with surgical correction strategies. One labeled defect is the "senile buttock," contrasted with a high, rounded "happy buttock" and a low-slung, drooping "sad buttock." Cuenca-Guerra's methodology relied on panels of surgeons rating 1,320 photographs of nude women to determine perceived attractiveness. Contemporary preferences have moved away from Fibonacci-based proportions toward Kardashian-inspired shapes.
