“…Ptosis and atrophy have been described as age-related changes of the buttocks, 16 especially in women. 5 Although ptosis is a common age-related feature of both the breast and the buttocks, the atrophy seen in aging buttocks is in contrast to the increase in breast volume observed in this study. This difference is probably derived from the difference in composition, that is, while age-related atrophy of the gluteal muscles contributes to the atrophy of the buttocks, the breast, which lacks a muscular structure, increases in volume because of the age-related accumulation of adipose tissue.…”

“…Understanding the changes in body shape that accompany aging is also important to help surgeons identify the surgical techniques that are needed in a given case. Hoenig et al 5 has clarified the relationship between aging and morphologic changes in the buttocks. An investigation of such changes in the breast is likewise important to improve breast-conserving surgery, breast reconstruction, and reshaping or rejuvenating surgical procedures.…”

Background:Objective assessments of the shapes of various parts of the body can be made using images acquired with multidetector row computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. These images can be useful for understanding the changes in body shape that accompany aging.Methods:Data from our previous bilateral prone breast magnetic resonance imaging studies between March and August 2013 were analyzed. Breast size and volume were measured using these images. All the patients included in the study were divided into a younger group (54 years or younger) and an older group (55 years or older). The values were compared between the 2 groups using paired t tests. Regarding variables that were shown to have a significant difference between the 2 groups, the relationships between age and the values of the variables were evaluated using the Pearson correlation coefficient.Results:A total of 90 breasts, 45 breasts in the younger group and 45 breasts in the older group, were used for analysis. There was a significant correlation between age and craniocaudal nipple deviation (R = −0.38; P < 0.001) and between age and the measured breast volume (R = 0.26; P < 0.05). There was also a significant correlation between the measured breast volume and the craniocaudal nipple deviation (R = −0.48; P < 0.001).Conclusions:A caudal deviation of the nipple and an increase in volume were age-related changes in breast shape. These 2 variables were also correlated.

“…14 With age, women were noted to have ptosis of the buttock and reduction of the gluteal volume with loss of the youthful lazy-S shape. 13 Gluteal augmentation to reestablish youthful anatomical characteristics of the buttock has gained popularity and includes procedures such as autologous fat transfer, biostimulatory fillers, and permanent implants. [15][16][17][18] In a recent publication, vacuum-assisted subcisioncommonly used to treat cellulite dimples-was found to improve gluteal contour as well.…”

“…Side-byside 3D photographs of the buttocks that can be rotated at the evaluator's discretion were created to compare baseline photographs with those from Day 90 and Day 180. Three board-certified dermatologists reviewed the photographs independently and evaluated the change in gluteal contour using the Physician Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (PGAIS)-a 7-point scale evaluating gluteal contour from very much improved (13), much improved (12), improved (11), no change (0), worse (21), much worse (22), and very much worse (23).…”

BACKGROUND Collagenase clostridium histolyticum-aaes (CCH) is approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe cellulite. OBJECTIVE This is a retrospective image review of subjects previously enrolled in Cohort 2 of the EN3835-305 trial to determine the effects of CCH on volumetric changes of cellulite dimples and overall gluteal contouring. METHODS In this retrospective analysis, photographs from Day 90 and Day 180 were superimposed on baseline images and the volumetric change of each treated cellulite dimple was quantified. Side-by-side photographs of the buttocks were also evaluated for change in gluteal contour using the Physician Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (PGAIS). RESULTS Fifty-eight female subjects and 403 cellulite dimples were evaluated. Three-dimensional imaging analysis revealed a significant improvement in total negative dimple volume at both Day 90 and Day 180 of 27% and 26%, respectively (p , .001 and p 5 .002, respectively). At Day 90, the overall gluteal contour, as signified by the mean PGAIS among the 3 blinded dermatologists, was rated as +1 (improved) in 27% (n 5 17) of the subjects. At Day 180, the mean PGAIS was +1 (improved) or +2 (very much improved) in 39% (n 5 26) of the subjects. CONCLUSION CHH is an effective tool for treating cellulite dimples and improving gluteal contour.

“…For example, it has been demonstrated that male buttocks show fewer signs of atrophy and transformation with aging in comparison to females. The aging process is based on fat distribution, skin and tissue changes, volume and the effects of gravity [11]. Proper analysis applies to every part of the body ( Figure 5).…”

Perception of Beauty

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the world of plastic surgery, misconceptions may lead to irrational requests or outcomes not appreciated by patients. Those who manage aesthetics should always listen and recognize the variability of cultural identities, desires, attitudes, anxieties and uncertainties of the patient. Emerging from a diversity of cultures and its transforming trends, the scope of cosmetic surgery and its practice reflect not only the individual's personality, but also the culture as a whole. When counseling an individual, one has to recognize that even in groups of seemingly identical social or cultural standards; there are subtle differences in expectations. To illustrate the potential for inaccuracy of ethnic profiling in the field of plastic surgery authors quote their own work on Asian subjects and facial beauty and resort to experience of others. To reaffirm their opinion and to exemplify how sometimes "fine" differences in the perception of beauty exist, an original study that evaluates the preferences among selected groups of Latina women in respect to buttock aesthetics has been included. This dissertation will focus on how cultural factors influence beauty perception; strengthen the fact that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and how variable differences exist even between small subgroups.
