  • Various implant placement techniques exist, each with advantages and disadvantages.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the aesthetic results and complication rates of gluteal augmentation using the intramuscular approach.
  • To compare the intramuscular technique with other gluteal implant placement methods.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical placement of gluteal implants within the intramuscular tissue plane.
  • Assessment of aesthetic outcomes and incidence of complications post-surgery.

Main Results:

  • The intramuscular approach yields very good aesthetic results.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Properly performed intramuscular gluteal augmentation demonstrates a low incidence of complications.
  • This technique allows for the use of larger implants compared to submuscular methods.
  • The intramuscular position offers the most comprehensive implant coverage with muscle padding.

    • Conclusions:

    • The intramuscular approach is a safe and effective method for gluteal augmentation.
    • It provides superior implant coverage and allows for patient-preferred larger implant sizes.
    • This technique ensures natural implant positioning and excellent aesthetic outcomes.
