Summary

this study aim to evaluate the role of autologous augmentation for buttock contouring and analyze different aethetic gluteal deformity

Detailed description

The last decades showed an increasing demand for bariatric surgery and diet dependent massive weight loss , these successful strategies for weight loss result in significant deformities in general body contour , buttock normal appearance is very important for posterior trunk aesthetic image and its severely affected after massive weight loss . Aesthetically attractive buttocks required special features include adequate volume, projection, and a defined infragluteal fold.. The gluteal region in patients with massive weight loss is characterized by excessive skin and exaggerated fat loss. Lower body lift procedures remove excess skin and lift sagging buttock tissue. unsatisfactory buttock shape especially V shaped buttock is considered as important indication for gluteal reshaping Mendieta and Cuenca-Guerra and Quezada have proposed novel methods of describing and analyzing gluteal aesthetics. There are a multitude of options that can be used to improve the buttock includ-ing non-surgical injections, implants, fat, excisional, liposuction and various energy devices

Conditions

• Body Contouring

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	superior gluteal artery flap and lumbar artery falp	Doppler ultrasound will be used to confirm location of the superior gluteal artery perforators or lumbar perforators . Flaps will be designed to allow deepithelialization and dissection . After complete sketolization of the flap it will be analyzed for viability and trimmed to achieve the desired bulk.
PROCEDURE	The gluteal pocket	pocket will be created by undermining in a plane just superficial to the gluteal muscle from the lower body lift line inferiorly extending to within 5 cm of the inferior gluteal crease. should extend only over the medial half of the buttock.
PROCEDURE	infragluteal dermal lifiting flap	dermal flap will be performed for lifting the ptotic buttocks with ill-defined infragluteal fold. This deepithelialized dermal flap allows for the creation of a well-defined stable infragluteal fold through an incision of the infragluteal fold and exposure of ischial tuberosity and anchor it to the ischial tuberosity.
