“…Moreover, various studies using threads have reported the effectiveness and lasting duration of the buttock lifting procedure. [11][12][13] de Benito and Pizzamiglio 12 described buttock lifting using silhouette sutures; approximately 80% of patients had stable and satisfactory results 6 months postoperatively, and they were still happy with the procedure after 1 year. Rico and colleagues 13 described buttock lifting with polypropylene strips and obtained good aesthetic results without complications for up to 8 years.…”

However, if the patient wants to correct the ptotic buttock using a minimally invasive procedure, then buttock lifting using threads may be an option.…”

BACKGROUND Buttock reshaping has recently gained popularity. Gluteal soft-tissue repositioning can be performed using polydioxane threads, followed by anthropometric measurements. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of polydioxane threads for noninvasive gluteal soft-tissue repositioning. MATERIALS AND METHODS From February 2018 to August 2019, 27 women (mean age, 38.9 years; range, 26–65 years) underwent thread lifting. Multiple polydioxane threads (total, 24–30 threads for each buttock side) were used for gluteal soft-tissue repositioning. The treatment outcomes were based on comparisons of the preoperative and postoperative findings. RESULTS The mean ratio of the upper and lower vertical proportions of the buttocks changed from 63:37 preoperatively to 55:45 postoperatively. The mean projection angle of the upper portion decreased from 60.1° preoperatively to 54.3° postoperatively. Twenty-four patients (86%) were satisfied with the results up to 8 months postoperatively. One patient developed persistent pain (>1 month), and 4 patients showed skin dimpling, which resolved within 2 weeks after minimal massages. No hematomas, foreign body sensation, or thread protrusions were noted. CONCLUSION Polydioxane threads could be an alternative, minimally invasive tool for buttock lifting. Our novel technique of repositioning the buttock soft tissue improved lifting and augmentation and provided a better buttock shape.

Background Liposuction is the main technique to improve body contour, emphasize appealing curves and highlights one’s muscular definition. A vast increase has been observed in the number of procedures in which the harvested fat is being used for gluteal augmentation. Objectives The ultimate goal for the patient, as well as for the surgeon, should be a sculpted harmonious body obtained through a safe procedure. Methods Anatomical guidelines and preoperative markings are provided to guide the 3-step procedure: zones of maximal and mild liposuction, barbed wire suspension, and moderate fat grafting. Novel concepts are introduced as the anterior body diagonal (ABD), posterior body diagonal (PBD), the ISU line, the PLAISIR line, the pubic unit and a vertical ratio for the buttock, which are the basic foundations for sculpting the female body into a pleasing hour glass shape with a well-projected buttock. Recommendations for location of sacral diamond, sacral dimples and the maximally projected point of the buttock are given. The authors explain their philosophy through 4 principles: knowledge of anatomy; the relationship between specific body areas and surrounding zones; a balanced gluteal augmentation is not achieved through large-volume fat grafting alone; and grafting in the subcutaneous layer. Results 101 patients were treated following the described technique and examples are shown. Complication rate was low. No serious adverse effects were recorded apart from one ruptured suspension loop. Conclusions The described anatomy-based approach including liposuction, suspension loops and fat grafting is a novel and safe technique leading to a desirable long-lasting outcome.
