| Abstract | ||
| 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. | ||
