Abstract
Background: Post-bariatric patients suffer from laxity of skin and redundancy in different parts of the body, with resultant unaesthetic appearance. Concerning the lower body, different surgeons have introduced lower body lift and buttock augmentation and have discussed different approaches and techniques. In this study, we compare between buttock autoaugmentation with fat injection and buttock auto-augmentation with gluteal implant application as regards the maximum aesthetic outcome in post-bariatric patients. Patients and Methods: 26 post-bariatric patients with redundancy of the skin of the abdomen and buttocks. All patients had belt lipectomy/abdominoplasty and buttock augmentation (auto-augmentation) in addition to fat injection (Group A, 15 cases), or application of intramuscular gluteal implants (Group B, 11 cases). Results: All patients had follow-up for one year with no major complications. The p-value was calculated for both groups and was found that there is a highly significant statistical difference in the post-operative measurements in Group A (fat injection). Conclusion: Dual autoaugmentation for post bariatric ptotic buttocks give more appealing results for patients, either objectively by measurements or subjectively by high satisfaction scores with a higher preference for fat injection.
