Background: Over the past 4 decades, gluteal augmentation has increased enormously in popularity, and numerous techniques have been developed to provide patients with the best possible outcomes. The submuscular technique has been shown to be a reliable option for a broad cohort of patients.
Objectives: The main objective of this retrospective study was to describe the characteristics and clinical outcomes of a group of patients who underwent gluteal augmentation by the submuscular technique.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 80 female patients who underwent submuscular gluteal augmentation with silicone implants between August 2019 and May 2022. All of the patients were operated on by the authors of the present study.
Results: Information about patient demographics, implants, complications, and treatments was analyzed. Moreover, the satisfaction of the patients was assessed by means of a short survey. The most frequent complication was wound dehiscence. Only 7 patients required surgical revisions, and 2 required isolated antibiotic therapy. All complications were effectively addressed and no implants had to be removed. Furthermore, the retrospective analysis revealed a noteworthy association between the size of the implant and the occurrence of complications.
Conclusions: The submuscular method provides the best aesthetic results and adequate safety for patients. It significantly minimizes the possibility of complications, such as fluid collection due to muscle fiber dissection or implant exposure/extrusion.

Analysis of Morphologic and Rheological Properties of Hyaluronic Acid Gel Fillers to Body Contouring and Its Clinical Correlation.
Gels
January 2025
Private Practice, São Paulo 05455-000, SP, Brazil.
The demand for minimally invasive body contouring procedures, particularly for gluteal augmentation, has grown significantly. This study evaluates the morphologic and rheological properties of four commercially available hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers used for body contouring and explores their clinical implications. Critical parameters such as storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G″), complex modulus (G*), and damping factor (tan δ) were measured using oscillatory rheological tests to assess each filler's elasticity, viscosity, and viscoelastic profile.

Retained drain fragments, though rare, can lead to significant complications in orthopedic surgery(1). This case report presents a 57-year-old woman who developed gluteal tendinopathy and Trendelenburg gait two years after a total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to a retained drain fragment. A less experienced surgeon encountered resistance during drain removal on the first postoperative day and applied excessive force, unknowingly leaving a fragment inside.

Background: Autologous fat grafting in the buttocks has gained great popularity However, one of the main risks is infiltration of fat into the systemic venous system, leading to potential complications such as macroscopic fatty embolism (MAFE), which can be fatal.
Objectives: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of the LiRi (Linear Retrograde infiltration) for autologous fat grafting in the buttocks, and its evolution over a six-month follow-up period.
Methods: The procedure was performed in 114 patients.
Introduction: Hip dips, often referred to as the pronounced trochanteric depression, can be caused by athletic muscular definition or the ageing process. This depression might impact the desirable contour of the buttocks in some female patients.
Patients And Methods: A technique is described for female patients exhibiting moderate to severe degrees of lateral trochanteric depression.
