“…The present case report describes a rare complication of gluteal augmentation with solid silicone implants, in which the implant was displaced from one gluteal pocket to the other. Displacement and rotation of the implant within a gluteal pocket has been reported in 0.59% of cases [ 6 - 8 ], but no reports in the literature describe a case in which two gluteal implants were located in a single pocket secondary to displacement; therefore, this case report makes a novel contribution.…”

A rare case of implant displacement to the contralateral side after gluteal augmentation

In this report, we present a rare case of solid silicone implant displacement to the contralateral side after aesthetic gluteal augmentation, a phenomenon that has never been reported before in the literature. A 29-year-old woman with a history of gluteal augmentation 9 months previously and soft tissue infection presented for a consultation due to 3 days of sudden progressive pain in the right gluteus with erythema and edema, without a history of trauma. Displacement of the left gluteal implant to the right gluteal pocket was shown by magnetic resonance imaging. Because the patient refused implant removal, the decision was made to perform capsulotomy, to reconstruct the gluteal pockets, and to preserve the implants. The patient showed a satisfactory early and late postoperative course. Possible causes of this complication include poor surgical technique, with insufficient tissue preservation to keep the pockets apart, and the presence of seroma or hematoma that favored an infectious process, thereby leading to deterioration of the dissected soft tissues with dehiscence of the wound favoring the displacement of the implant.
