Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Dec 2023There is no well-defined male buttock aesthetic. The authors performed a crowdsourced analysis to define the ideal male buttocks.
BACKGROUND
There is no well-defined male buttock aesthetic. The authors performed a crowdsourced analysis to define the ideal male buttocks.
METHODS
A survey was deployed using the Amazon MTurk platform. Respondents rated a panel of digitally altered male buttocks from most to least attractive using three views. Respondents were asked questions pertaining to their own interest in gluteal augmentation, self-reported body type, and other demographics.
RESULTS
A total of 2095 responses were recorded; 61% were from male respondents, 52% of respondents were between the ages of 25 and 34 years, and 49% were White respondents. The preferred lateral ratio in the anteroposterior dimension was 1.18; the oblique angle between the sacrum, lateral gluteal depression, and point of maximal projection of the gluteal sulcus was 60 degrees; and the posterior ratio between the waist and maximal width of the hips was 0.66. This corresponds to moderate gluteal projection in the lateral and oblique views, with a narrower gluteal width and defined trochanteric depression in the posterior view. Loss of the trochanteric depression was associated with lower scores. Subgroup analysis revealed differences when stratified by region, race, sexual orientation, employment industry, and athletic interest. No appreciable difference was found based on respondent sex.
CONCLUSIONS
The authors' results demonstrate that there is a preferred male gluteal aesthetic. This study suggests that men and women favor a more projected male buttock with a more pronounced contour, but preferred a narrow width with defined lateral depression. These findings have the potential to guide future aesthetic gluteal contouring techniques in men.

Observational Study
BACKGROUND
Permanent aesthetic augmentation of the gluteal region can be achieved with fat graft and/or implants. Implant-based augmentations have been proposed since the late 1960s. Buttock implants can be placed in four different planes according to distinct surgical techniques: subcutaneous, subfascial, intramuscular, and submuscular.
METHODS
In this retrospective analysis, a 100 case series of patients seeking volume and shape amelioration of the gluteal region were studied. All of them had primary gluteoplasty performed with a submuscular implant placement by first author (F.P.) with a new technique, as described in the article.
RESULTS
Data on surgery time, implant volume selection, and postoperative complications were collected. The most frequent complications were delayed healing of the incision and implant flipping.
CONCLUSIONS
Submuscular implant positioning is a safe and reliable technique for buttock augmentation with implants. Whatever the implant volume, submuscular gluteal augmentation carries the benefit of perfectly covering, protecting, and hiding the implant, making it almost impalpable and invisible.

Review
Familiarity with the imaging appearance and potential complications of buttocks aesthetic surgery is important for radiologists. In this review, we illustrate the spectrum of imaging features after buttocks implants, liposuction, fat injections and silicone injections. Complications such as fat necrosis, abscess, and silicone migration are also presented.

Review
While buttock pain is a common complaint in sports medicine, deep gluteal syndrome (DGS) is a rare entity. DGS has been proposed as a unifying term referring to symptoms attributed to the various pain generators located in this region. While not all-inclusive, the diagnosis of DGS allows for focus on pathology of regionally associated muscles, tendons, and nerves in the clinical evaluation and management of posterior hip and buttock complaints. An understanding of the anatomic structures and their kinematic and topographic relationships in the deep gluteal space is pivotal in making accurate diagnoses and providing effective treatment. Because presenting clinical features may be unrevealing while imaging studies and diagnostic procedures lack supportive evidence, precise physical examination is essential in obtaining accurate diagnoses. Management of DGS involves focused rehabilitation with consideration of still clinically unproven adjunctive therapies, image-guided injections, and surgical intervention in refractory cases.

AIM
The objective of this study was to describe the amount, types, and shapes of tissue present in the buttocks during sitting (i.e., seated buttocks soft tissue anatomy), and the impact of seated buttocks soft tissue anatomy on biomechanical risk.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The buttocks of 35 people, including 29 full-time wheelchair users with and without a history of pelvic pressure ulcers were scanned sitting upright on 3" of flat HR45 foam in a FONAR Upright MRI. Multi-planar scans were analyzed to calculate bulk tissue thickness, tissue composition, gluteus maximus coverage at the ischium, the contour of the skin, and pelvic tilt.
RESULTS
Bulk tissue thickness varied from 5.6 to 32.1 mm, was composed mostly of adipose tissue, and was greatest in the able-bodied cohort. Skin contours varied significantly across status group, with wheelchair users with a history of pressure ulcers having tissue with a peaked contour with a radius of curvature of 65.9 mm that wrapped more closely to the ischium (thickness at the apex = 8.2 mm) as compared to wheelchair users with no pressure ulcer history (radius of curvature = 91.5 mm and apex thickness = 14.5 mm). Finally, the majority of participants presented with little to no gluteus coverage over their ischial tuberosity, regardless of status group.
CONCLUSIONS
This study provides quantitative evidence that Biomechanical Risk, or the intrinsic characteristic of an individual's soft tissues to deform in response to extrinsic applied forces, is greater in individuals at greater risk for pressure ulcers.

A 74-year-old man was referred with a 10-year history of a plaque on the left buttock. Prior to presentation to dermatology, he had undergone biopsy under plastic surgery for a presumptive diagnosis of psoriasis, but histology was nonspecific. Further clinical examination and repeat biopsies were needed for the diagnosis.

Review
The shape and definition of the male buttock have been emphasized throughout time, as it represents masculinity, strength, health, and beauty across various cultures. Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in general has become more acceptable for men; thus, the demand for gluteal enhancement parallels this shift in social norms. Surgeons interested in such cases must first understand the aesthetic ideals and principles of gluteal shaping as it pertains to men. By using gluteal implants, fat transfer techniques, local tissue rearrangement principles, or a combination thereof, one can sculpt an aesthetically pleasing male buttock with a high degree of patient satisfaction.

Review
Gluteal augmentation has gained popularity. It might be the only option to increase volume for lean patients without donor tissue for grafting. Subfascial augmentation is a safe treatment with low morbidity when performed in an appropriate setting with the right equipment. It is an anatomically based procedure. It is very important that pocket dissection is limited to the anatomic landmarks. Implants should be placed vertically to allow for proper contouring. The wound should never be closed with tension. One of the most important steps is postoperative care, which should avoid any pressure on the buttocks and stress on the wound.

Review
Refined buttock augmentation with fat grafting in Chinese women during the past decade is introduced. The ideal buttock contouring outcome and figure silhouette come from the proper individualized plan and meticulous maneuvers through fat grafting to the buttocks combined with liposuction procedures on the surrounding areas of the buttocks as well as on the other body parts. The fat grafts are collected, filtered, and condensed by gravitation in a sterilized canister during liposuction. It is recommended that fat grafts were only transplanted into the subcutaneous layers and with no injection into the musculatures of the buttocks. High patients' satisfaction was obtained with no major complications and fewer minor complications.
