| Sumario: | Permanent esthetic buttocks augmentation is on the rise. Fat augmentation or Brazilian butt lift (BBL) cannot be a solution for patient with a lean body and poor subcutaneous fat deposit. Hyaluronic acid (HA) infiltrations for volume enhancement, when used in big volumes, tend to form foreign body granulomas and cysts, which are visible and palpable with a poor esthetic result. On the other hand, implant-based augmentations have been proposed since the late 1960 of the past century. Buttocks implants can be placed in four different planes according to distinct surgical techniques: subcutaneous, subfascial, intramuscular, and submuscular. An alternative to the widely proposed intramuscular technique is described in the chapter. Submuscular positioning of a biconvex silicone implant is a safe and valuable alternative to other gluteal augmentation techniques with a different plane for implant positioning. Depending on implant volume, submuscular gluteal augmentation has the benefit to perfectly conceal the implant making it almost impalpable and invisible as well. |
