This study introduces a geometric intramuscular gluteal implant technique for safer, more precise buttock augmentation. The method ensures symmetric results and has proven safe and reproducible in over 700 patients.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • Gluteal implants are used for buttock augmentation and correction of hypoplasias.
  • Traditional intramuscular implant placement can be challenging due to lack of direct visualization, potentially leading to asymmetry and safety concerns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel geometric intramuscular technique for gluteal implant placement.
  • To enhance precision and safety during dissection for augmentation gluteoplasty.

Main Methods:

  • A geometrically based intramuscular method utilizing three pelvic points (X, Y, Z) and a line (G) to define the dissection plane.
  • Dissection is guided by these geometric references to ensure a safe and symmetric surgical field.

Main Results:

  • The technique was applied to 746 patients between 1986 and 2003.
  • The procedure yielded good aesthetic and functional outcomes with high patient satisfaction.

    • Conclusions:

    • The described geometric intramuscular technique offers a safe, reproducible, and precise approach to augmentation gluteoplasty.
    • This method addresses the challenges of traditional intramuscular implant placement, improving surgical outcomes.
