Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Anatomy
Surgical Techniques

Background:

Silicone implants are widely used for gluteal augmentation.
Existing techniques raise safety concerns among plastic surgeons.
A need exists for safer, more effective gluteal augmentation procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel technique for silicone gluteal augmentation.
To reduce complication rates and improve aesthetic outcomes.
To develop a simplified and easily learnable surgical procedure.

Main Methods:

Surgical simulation using 10 fresh cadavers.
Anatomical dissections to refine surgical planes and implant placement.
Clinical application in 103 patients by staff and supervised residents.

Main Results:

Low complication rates: seroma (3.88%), suture dehiscence (5.8%), infection/implant removal (0.97%).
Absence of hematoma reported.
High patient satisfaction achieved.

Conclusions:

The described technique enhances safety and simplifies gluteal augmentation with silicone implants.
Cadaveric dissection provided crucial insights into critical anatomical structures.
The procedure is effective, safe, and easily learned, leading to high patient satisfaction.
