Autologous augmentation gluteoplasty with a dermal fat flap

Abstract

Autologous dermal flap gluteal augmentation is a versatile technique that addresses both buttock ptosis and volume deficit. Drawbacks include an extended incision line that, however, is easily concealed by underwear or a bikini.

Correção de flacidez de pele nas regiões glútea e lombar com retalho fasciocutâneo local em cambalhota

“…There are several options of gluteal flaps for achieving the same purpose. Our choice was based on the large vascu larity of the flap, its relatively lower tension when set, the small torsion of the nourishing pedicles, and the work by Sozer et al 25 .…”

“…This led to the development of local flaps that fill and give a more pleasing look to the gluteus in cases where they are de-epithelized and properly deployed. Sozer et al 25 contributed to the standardized use of the dermal fat flap to correct ptosis and the lack of tissue in the gluteal region in patients after massive weight loss.…”

Gluteal Reduction: A New Technique With Tightening, Lifting, and Reshaping Effects on the Buttocks

“…Aesthetic surgery of the gluteal region has been described extensively, but most of the literature is centered on gluteal augmentation [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], with fewer reported studies focused on gluteal lifting [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Gluteal reduction, on the other hand, is a procedure almost neglected in plastic surgery publications [20,22].…”

Gluteal Augmentation with Polymethyl Methacrylate: A 10-year Cohort Study

“…By using a different surgical technique, Sozer et al 5 carried out a retrospective study with 10 patients who were submitted to a buttock lift using the skin flap. Patient satisfaction was high, as was in the study conducted by Gonzáles-Ulloa, 6 who noted a considerable improvement in the postoperative period in relation to patient/surgeon satisfaction.…”
