Gluteoplasty
Gluteoplasty is primarily aimed at augmenting buttock volume while enhancing its projection, grace, and strength. The preferred technique for this procedure is lipoinjection, involving the transfer of the patient’s own fat tissue, which, when properly harvested and applied, can be permanently retained at a rate of 50 to 60% of the injected volume. To further sculpt the buttock and achieve attractive contours, fat can be strategically placed in neighboring areas such as the waist, hips, lower back, and outer thighs, creating higher contrast and emphasizing the gluteal region in both the rear and profile views.
Similar to breast augmentation techniques, gluteoplasty can be executed by inserting implants through the tailbone fold, positioning them above or below the gluteus maximus muscle or its fascia. Unfortunately, this surgery is associated with common issues such as asymmetries, unnatural appearance, and frequent capsule contracture, leading to a notable decline in popularity among surgeons due to a high percentage of dissatisfied patients.
In the pursuit of enhanced safety and optimal outcomes, the introduction of VASER technology has revolutionized various cosmetic procedures, including body reshaping, contouring, liposuction, tummy tucks, breast surgeries, gynecomastia correction, facial and neck rejuvenation, cellulite treatment, and HD liposuction with improved definition of muscular structures like the abdominal six-pack (for individuals with an athletic foundation). This advanced technology enables plastic surgeons to perform a range of procedures with minimal tissue trauma, significantly enhancing efficiency and result quality, while reducing discomforts such as pain, inflammation, and postoperative recovery time.
