Abstract
Background: Gluteal contouring surgeries gained a growing public interest. No single procedure can correct different deformities. The patient’s existing anatomy determines the best way to recontour the buttocks. Patients and Methods: The study included nine female patients with gluteal contour deformity in the form of: Long buttocks, double inferior gluteal crease, excess tissue of the lower lateral buttock area and banana roll deformity of the upper posterior thigh. They underwent lower buttock and upper thigh lifting with restoration of the inferior gluteal crease. Two of them were post-bariatric patients and needed additional transverse medial thigh lifting at the same operation. Liposuction of the related anatomical areas was done in all patients. Lipofilling of deficient areas of the buttocks for augmentation or adjusting contour asymmetry was done in 5 patients including the 2 post-bariatric ones. Results: Medical photographs were collected preoperatively and 3 months post-operatively. The average patients’ follow-up period was 3.1 months. All patients were satisfied with the results. Only one patient had mild buttock contour asymmetry. No other complications were recorded. Conclusion: The lower buttock and upper posterior thigh lifting can be safely combined with preservation of the inferior gluteal crease. It’s a useful procedure for correction of the recorded gluteal contour deformities with high patient’s satisfaction rate
