Muscles that Move the Thigh

Muscles that Move the Thigh

The thigh's motion is primarily governed by muscles originating in the pelvic girdle and inserted into the femur. One crucial muscle, the iliopsoas, is a combination of the psoas major and the iliacus muscles, sharing a common insertion point on the lesser trochanter of the femur.
Three other significant muscles are the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. The gluteus maximus originates from the posterior surface of the ilium, sacrum, and coccyx, and the thoracolumbar fascia...

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Aesthetic Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

Gluteal enhancement surgery encompasses various procedures like buttock implants, gluteal flaps, lipografting, and gluteal lifts.
Limited data exists on the outcomes of combining gluteal lifts with subfascial gluteal implants.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the outcomes of gluteal lift combined with subfascial gluteal implants.
To assess complication rates and patient satisfaction in this combined procedure.

Main Methods:

A retrospective study analyzed data from 114 patients undergoing gluteal lift with subfascial gluteal implants.
The study spanned a 7-year period with a single surgeon at a single institution.
Follow-up ranged from 1 to 7 years (mean 4.5 years).

Main Results:

Common complications included seroma (11.4%), hematoma (5.26%), and wound dehiscence (19.29% minor, 1.75% major).
Capsular contracture (Becker 3-4) occurred in 3.5%, and implant malposition in 5.25%.
High patient satisfaction (9.6/10) was reported, with 26.31% requiring secondary surgery and 10.52% dissatisfied with final volume.

Conclusions:

Gluteal lift with subfascial gluteal implants yields good, durable outcomes.
The procedure demonstrates an acceptable complication profile and high patient satisfaction.
Scars are easily concealed, contributing to favorable aesthetic results.
