Name of journal: Aesthetic surgery journal / the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic surgeryAbstract: BACKGROUND: Plastic surgeons are exploring novel techniques for augmentation gluteoplasty as the demand for this procedure increases annually in the United States.CONCLUSIONS: Dermal-fat graft augmentation gluteoplasty provides a voluminous, natural-feeling, and durable aesthetic result. The procedure should be considered a viable option for patients undergoing abdominoplasty or torsoplasty, especially as more experience is gained.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.Copyright © 2014 The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Inc.METHODS: Nine consecutive patients underwent abdominoplasty or torsoplasty in which 2 oval dermal-fat grafts were excised, de-epithelialized, and then implanted into subfascial gluteal pockets for augmentation. All operations were independently conducted by 1 of 2 surgeons at facilities in Maryland and New Jersey.OBJECTIVES: The authors retrospectively reviewed a series of lower abdominal dermal-fat graft augmentation gluteoplasties to validate the procedure.RESULTS: The mean age of the 9 female patients was 46 years. The mean dermal-graft size was 188 cm(2), and the mean graft weight was 288 g. One graft became infected and required excision 39 days after the procedure. There were no other complications. All surviving grafts provided a substantial increase in posterior projection and long-lasting gluteal volume.All authors: Brownstein GM, Muresan C, Shureih SFFiscal year: FY2015Digital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2016-07-15

CONCLUSIONS: Dermal-fat graft augmentation gluteoplasty provides a voluminous, natural-feeling, and durable aesthetic result. The procedure should be considered a viable option for patients undergoing abdominoplasty or torsoplasty, especially as more experience is gained.
