The buttock is an extremely important area in woman’s sexuality and is considered a cornerstone Supragluteal fossettes: two hollows located on either side of the of female beauty. Although the concept of female beauty has medial sacral crest. They are formed by the posterior superior iliac changed over time, there are two constant items of femininity: spine and medially by the multifidus muscle. the breasts and the buttocks [2,3]. However, the parameters of V-shaped crease: two lines arising in the upper portion of the beautiful buttocks have varied according to time, culture, and gluteal crease toward the supragluteal fossettes. ethnicity [4,5]. Increasing number of patients are asking for esthetic improvement of their buttock profile or for correction of a Lumbar hyperlordosis is an additional feature that may deformity or irregularity. Buttock contouring is gaining more space contribute to beautiful buttocks. A beautiful gluteal contour should in the media and in doctors’ offices as well. Surgical techniques to also include the perigluteal areas namely the lower lumbar regions, improve buttocks contour have evolved dramatically over the last the trochanteric/hip area and the inner thighs. two decades [6]. Criteria of Beautiful Buttocks The gluteal region has been recognized as an important secondary sexual characteristic since the beginning of history and it has its place in the concept of beauty in all communities. The morphology of the gluteal region has been studied extensively in an objective way by many researchers, defining the changes in the gluteal region particularly with ageing and weight gain and loss [7-9]. Beautiful buttocks should be symmetric and rounded, with the greatest projection coming from the upper and middle thirds. In 2006, Cuenca-Guerra and Quezada published their results after carrying out an extensive anthropometric study [10]. They specified 4 main criteria for gluteal aesthetics (Figure 1,2): Lateral depression: a hollow on the lateral aspect of each buttock formed in its deepest point by the greater trochanter. Figure 1: components of beautiful buttock. 1 Volume 6; Issue 01 Plastic Surgery Mod Tech, an open access journal ISSN: 2577-1701 Citation: Abulezz T (2019) A Review of Recent Advances in Aesthetic Gluteoplasty and Buttock Contouring.

However, buttock size, lateral buttock fullness, and the buttock, regardless of ethnicity (Figure 3). It is the ratio between lateral thigh fullness are different among various ethnic types. the narrowest waist circumference to the hip circumference at the Roberts et al have summarized these ethnic differences as follows: level of maximum prominence of the buttocks [11]. The ration is (1) Caucasians, full but not extremely large buttock size, with two measured in posterior view and in lateral view (Figure 3) with types of lateral buttock fullness, either rounded or hollow, and with the most pleasing ratio 0.65 and 0.7 respectively (Table 1) [4]. no lateral thigh fullness; (2) Hispanics, very full buttock size, with very full lateral buttock and slightly full lateral thigh; (3) African Americans, buttock size as full as possible, with high fullness of lateral buttock and lateral thigh; and (4) Asians, small to moderate sized but shapely buttock, with no fullness of lateral buttock and lateral thigh [12]. These ethnic variations have to be kept in mind while evaluating the patient and planning how to manage his problem [5]. The surgical approach should restore the universal esthetic ideals and at the same time, it should respect and preserve the specific ethnic considerations for every patient. Gluteal Ptosis Gluteal ptosis was defined and classified in an elegant article published by Gonzalez [13]. The classification includes five degrees of severity and two factors: the length of the lower gluteal crease and the measurement of posterior gluteal tissue exceeding the crease at posterior mid-thigh line (Figure 4).

Since then many attempts have been made to revise and extend the official terminology as several inconsistencies have been noted. Moreover, numerous crucial terms were either omitted or deliberately excluded from the official terminology, like sulcus popliteus and diaphragma urogenitale, respec- tively. Furthermore, several synonyms are to be discarded. Notwithstanding the criticism, the use of the current version of terminology is strongly recommended. Although the Terminologia Anatomica is open to future expansion and revision, every change should be made after a thorough discussion of the historical context and scientific legitimacy of a given term. The anatomical nomenclature must be as simple as possible but also precise and coherent. It is generally accepted that hasty innovation ought not to be endorsed.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of medium-height heeled footwear on the static posture parameters of homogeneous young adult standing women. Heel geometry, data acquisition process, as well as data analysis and parameter extraction stage, were controlled. Seventy-six healthy young adult women with experience in wearing high-heeled shoes were enrolled. Data of fifty-three subjects were used for analysis due to exclusion criteria (scoliotic posture or missing measurement data).

  • The Use of the Superior Gluteal Artery Perforator Flap to Cover Sacral Defects
    Clinical Case Reports and Reviews Case Report ISSN: 2059-0393 The use of the superior gluteal artery perforator flap to cover sacral defects Fazlur Rahman M*, Aleezay Haider and Muhammad Asif Ahsan Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan Abstract Objective: To describe our experience of using superior gluteal artery perforator flap for coverage of sacral defects. Results: We report the use of the superior gluteal artery perforator flap, a skin-subcutaneous tissue flap to repair and reconstruct sacral defects in six patients. The procedures were done for defects of the sacral area. Flap size ranged from 20 x 9 cm to 9 x4 cm. All flaps survived completely and all donor sites were closed primarily without any donor site complication. Conclusion: We believe that the superior gluteal artery perforator flap is a suitable option for defects in the sacral area. However, more studies with larger numbers are required before it can become a mainstay for this region. Introduction fascia is incised and perforator followed to the underlying vessel.

Recommendation of the best site based on the distribution pattern of extramuscular and intramuscular nerves for gluteal muscle injection. Int. J. Morphol., 38(4):975-982, 2020. SUMMARY: To reveal the extra- and intramuscular nerve distribution patterns of the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus, and to provide guidance for gluteal muscle injection in order to avoid nerve injury. Ten adult and 10 child cadavers were used. The superior and inferior gluteal nerves innervating the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus were dissected, exposed, and sutured in-situ on the muscle. The three gluteal muscles were removed, and the distribution patterns of the intramuscular nerves were revealed by modified Sihler’s nerve staining. The nerve distribution pattern was returned to the corresponding position in the body, and the patterns in the four quadrants of the buttock were analyzed. There were 3–12 extramuscular nerve branches of the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus. After entering the muscle, these nerve branches arborized and anastomosed to form an arc-shaped, nerve-dense zone. The nerve distribution was most dense in the inferomedial region of the superolateral quadrant and the inferolateral region of the superomedial quadrant of the buttocks.
