Augmentation Gluteoplasty: A Brazilian Perspective

According to recent data, augmentation gluteoplasty continues to gain popularity in the US and globally, especially in procedures involving fat grafts. However, serious concerns about its safety have been raised over the last two years. Will this trend continue or has it already reached its peak? The answer depends on how the technique is going to be performed hereafter. In this paper, the following seven learning objectives are covered to perform gluteal augmentation safely and effectively: 1. the concept of what is a beautiful buttock and how to select the patients who will have better outcomes; 2. diagram each patient's needs for liposuction and graft; 3. employ maneuvers for contouring and projection; 4. compare specific indications for fat graft and gluteal implants; 5. evaluate ptosis grade to indicate whether volume repositioning is sufficient; 6. formulate care protocols for risk management and 7. develop lasting and high satisfaction rate results. it is pivotal to recognize each patient's body characteristics and ability to achieve a good result, work on her expectations preoperatively and accordingly in order to perform the procedure in the safest manner possible.
