“…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.…”

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 Gluteal ptosis results in a severe disturbance of gluteal aesthetics. Currently, satisfactory procedures for improving gluteal ptosis are lacking. Objectives To improve gluteal ptosis, the authors propose a novel concept of combined liposuction of the lower gluteal region and fat grafting to the upper gluteal and infragluteal regions, and verify its efficacy and safety. Methods Patients who underwent liposuction of the lower gluteal region combined with fat grafting to the upper gluteal and infragluteal regions between January 2020 and July 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Postoperative changes in the gluteal ptosis grade, complications, and patient satisfaction were evaluated. Results A total of 28 patients were enrolled in this study; 21 (75.0%) patients were gluteal ptosis grade 4 and seven (25.0%) patients were gluteal ptosis grade 5. The median fat removal volume was 210 ml, and the median fat graft injected volume was 355 ml in the gluteal region and 180 ml in the infragluteal region. All patients showed improvement in gluteal ptosis; 16 (57.1%) patients improved by one grade and 12 (42.9%) patients showed a two-grade improvement. All patients were satisfied with their post-treatment outcomes. Only one patient showed lateral translocation of the fat graft. No other complications were observed. Conclusions Liposuction of the lower gluteal region combined with fat grafting to the upper gluteal and infragluteal regions is effective in improving gluteal ptosis with a low risk of complications and high patient satisfaction.

Background: Overlooked compensatory brow ptosis can lead to patients dissatisfaction and poor surgical results. Objective: To evaluate the quantitative changes in periorbital dimensions in 11 patients with mild to moderate brow ptosis after browlift with Poly(Lactic Acid/Caprolactone) (P[LA/CL]) sutures.Method: Retrospective analysis and data collected from reviewing clinical records, 11 patients, with mild to moderate brow ptosis, whom only has P(LA/CL) browlift, fulfilled the criteria and included in the analysis. All patients had 2-dimensional clinical photos and 3-dimensional clinical pictures in 5 standard views at baseline and follow-up. All periorbital measurements determined by the computer and collected for analysis.Results: There was a significant difference in all periorbital measurements at 4 to 6 months' follow-up when compared with baseline (p<0.05). Moderate lifting refers to changes in brow height of at least 2 mm at follow-up. A higher proportion of patients with moderate brow lift were able to achieve moderate lifting compared with mild brow ptosis. Moderate lifting is observed in 30% to 60% medial brow and 45% to 60% lateral brow for patients with moderate brow ptosis compared with 25% in those with mild brow ptosis. Infection, significant bruising, or scarring did not occur. Transient side effects, such as bruising and dimpling, eventually resolved. Conclusion:Preoperative examination is vital to identify pre-existing compensatory brow ptosis. P(LA/CL) thread-lifting for brow augmentation is a simple and effective procedure which can be used as an adjunct to upper eyelid surgery to prevent secondary brow ptosis following eyelid surgery and in turn, improve patients' satisfaction.
