Scarless Infragluteal Fixation (SIF): Correction of Post-Liposuction Infragluteal Deformity

Area of Science:

• Plastic Surgery
• Aesthetic Surgery
• Regenerative Medicine

Background:

• Infragluteal deformities are a common complication after gluteal liposuction.
• Existing treatments often result in scarring or are invasive.
• A scar-free, minimally invasive solution is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce and evaluate a novel modified net suture technique for correcting post-liposuction infragluteal deformities.
• To assess the efficacy and aesthetic outcomes of this new technique.

Main Methods:

• A modified net suture technique using non-absorbable nylon was applied after liposuction to detach adhesions.
• The suture was placed loosely along the new gluteal crease, with external compression.
• Suture removal occurred on postoperative day 4.

Main Results:

• The technique resulted in aesthetically satisfactory outcomes and restored gluteal symmetry.
• No additional scarring was observed.
• The procedure was simple, cost-effective, and preserved lymphatic and vascular integrity.

Conclusions:

• The modified net suture technique is a promising, low-risk intervention for post-liposuction infragluteal deformities.
• This method offers a scar-free and minimally invasive alternative to current treatments.
• The technique achieves excellent aesthetic results and symmetry.
