  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Body Contouring

Background:

  • Gluteus maximus contracture can lead to significant aesthetic deformities, such as a flat buttock.
  • This condition can cause considerable psychological distress and impact body image.
  • Surgical intervention may be necessary for functional and aesthetic restoration.

Observation:

  • An 18-year-old male presented with a flat buttock deformity due to gluteus maximus contracture.
  • The condition resulted in psychological distress related to body image.
  • The patient underwent bilateral gluteal augmentation using tissue expanders followed by silicone prosthesis implantation.

Findings:

  • Postoperative follow-up at two years showed no complications such as capsular contracture.
