Background: Buttock augmentation surgery is on the rise
in the recent years. Different approaches exist with different
advantages and complication rates. Furthermore, ethnic groups
might have different aesthetic demands.
Material and Methods: Here, we describe our experience
with a combined lipofilling and silicone implant approach in
20 female Egyptian patients.
Results: Our results reveal both an objective success with
an average achieved waist-to-hip ratio of 0.78 after 6 months
post-operatively, together with a subjective success with
statistically-significantly higher scores reported by both the
patients and two independent aesthetic surgeons. Our complication
rates were minimal and planned for.
Conclusion: Gluteal lipofilling can thus safely and effectively
be combined with silicone implants for gluteal enhancement,
giving better shape and projection and avoiding implant
dissatisfaction.
