Submuscular Gluteal Augmentation: 17 Years of Experience With Gel and Elastomer Silicone Implants

Buttock Augmentation with Silicone Implants

“…10,11 While this survey did not compare results from these two surgical techniques, the majority of respondents (68.4 percent, n ϭ 13) favored the intramuscular placement of buttock implants. In a recent study, the infection rate was not significantly different between intramuscular and subfascial implants.…”

Autologous fat transfer—principles, techniques, and outcomes for facial rejuvenation, scars, breast, and buttocks

“…[106][107][108] Consequently, using fat as autologous tissue to augment the buttock area is increased while trying to avoid complications of buttock implants, that is, migration and thinning of the natural tissue. 109,110 On the contrary, BFA is not a procedure without possible complications that may include fat necrosis, abscess formation, sciatic nerve injury, fat embolism, and eventually death. [111][112][113][114][115] Nevertheless, as it is with all procedures, the safety profile increased with years of experience and refining of the procedure.…”

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].…”
