Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Anatomy
  • Aesthetics

Background:

  • Recent media attention has significantly increased patient demand for buttock reshaping and augmentation.
  • Gluteal augmentation procedures saw a 533% rise between 2002 and 2003, highlighting a growing trend.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a structured approach for evaluating gluteal anatomy.
  • To introduce a novel classification system for gluteal contouring.
  • To present a ptosis classification system specific to the gluteal region.

Main Methods:

  • The study proposes a classification system focusing on gluteal frame types.
  • It evaluates different gluteal muscle types and their relationship to the skeletal frame.
  • A dedicated ptosis classification system is presented.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive classification system for gluteal contouring has been developed.
  • The system categorizes gluteal frame and muscle types.
  • A method for classifying gluteal ptosis is established.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed classification system provides a structured framework for gluteal evaluation.
  • This system aids in understanding gluteal anatomy for aesthetic procedures.
  • It facilitates standardized assessment and surgical planning for gluteal contouring and ptosis correction.
