Summary
Secondary gluteal augmentation using the hybrid technique shows promise for managing complications. This method, involving deeper dissection and fat grafting, resulted in low complication rates in a study of 18 cases.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Aesthetic Medicine
- Reconstructive Surgery
Background:
- Increasing demand for posterior body contouring has led to more gluteal augmentations.
- This trend is associated with a rise in postoperative complications and revision surgeries.
- Limited research exists on secondary gluteal augmentation procedures.
Observation:
- A review of 18 secondary gluteal augmentation cases was conducted.
- New, deeper intramuscular pockets were created, and previous capsules were managed.
- The "no-touch technique" and autologous fat grafting (hybrid technique) were employed.
Findings:
- Nine cases used the hybrid technique, and seven used implants alone.
- Two complications occurred: rippling with the hybrid technique and implant palpability with implants alone.
- No surgical revisions were necessary for the observed complications.
Implications:
- Secondary gluteal augmentation can be successful with the hybrid technique.
- Accurate gluteus maximus dissection, proper capsule management, and strict infection control are crucial.
- This approach offers a viable solution for patients requiring revision or secondary augmentation.

One example of how cells use the energy contained in electrochemical gradients is demonstrated by glucose transport into cells. The ion vital to this process is sodium (Na+), which is typically present in higher concentrations extracellularly than in the cytosol. Such a concentration difference is due, in part, to the action of an enzyme “pump” embedded in the cellular membrane that actively expels Na+ from a cell. Importantly, as this pump contributes to the high concentration of...

2.1K
Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident.

Kinetics describes the rate and path by which a reaction occurs. In contrast, thermodynamics deals with state functions and describes the properties, behavior, and components of a system. It is not concerned with the path taken by the process and cannot address the rate at which a reaction occurs. Although it does provide information about what can happen during a reaction process, it does not describe the detailed steps of what appears on an atomic or a molecular level. On the other hand,...

Vascular plants, which account for over 90% of the Earth’s vegetation, all undergo primary growth—which lengthens roots and shoots. Many land plants, notably woody plants, also undergo secondary growth—which thickens roots and shoots.

Nearly all the energy used by cells comes from the bonds that make up complex organic compounds. These organic compounds are broken down into simpler molecules, such as glucose. As a result, cells extract energy from glucose over many chemical reactions—a process called cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...
