Scientific Advances in Gluteal Enhancement
Subfascial gluteal implants are redefining how surgeons in Miami approach buttock augmentation. This technique involves placing firm, cohesive silicone implants beneath the gluteal fascia and is often combined with selective autologous fat grafting to enhance contour and natural results. Recent studies show this hybrid method to be both safe and effective for a wide range of patients.
Key Benefits of Subfascial Implant Placement
- Improved Stability: The gluteal fascia offers firm support that helps prevent implant rotation or extrusion.
- Reduced Nerve Risk: Compared to intramuscular or submuscular approaches, subfascial placement avoids nerve-rich zones and minimizes the risk of motor or sensory injury.
- Better Aesthetic Integration: Selective fat grafting allows correction of contour irregularities, especially in patients with low body fat or prior surgical deformities.
Who Are the Ideal Candidates?
This technique is especially suited for patients who:
- Do not have sufficient fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
- Seek durable, predictable results not affected by fat resorption
- Previously had unsatisfactory BBL or injectable results
- Prefer a sculpted, athletic contour
Gluteal implants are ideal for both first-time augmentation patients and those seeking revision procedures.
What Makes This Approach Innovative?
The subfascial method uses a “stacked” incision technique and avoids deeper dissection, reducing risks like muscle atrophy or animation deformities. In 30 reviewed cases, no instances of capsular contracture, nerve injury, or animation deformity were reported.
When combined with ultrasound-guided fat grafting, patients experienced improved hip contour, superior pole projection, and smoother transitions.
Documented Patient Satisfaction
According to the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), 90% of patients reported their result as “Very Much Improved” or “Much Improved.” The Objective Buttocks Assessment Scale (OBAS) also showed an average of 5-point improvement in contour, projection, and waist-to-hip ratio.
Complication Rate and Safety
The study reported a 10% complication rate, significantly lower than the industry average of 21.6% for gluteal implants. Only one infection and one extrusion occurred, both resolved without long-term issues. No hematomas, nerve injuries, or capsular contracture were seen.
A Proven Option for Complex Cases
Patients with previous biopolymer injections or failed BBLs benefited from this hybrid approach. The combination of implants and targeted fat grafting allowed for better concealment of irregularities, enhanced symmetry, and improved confidence.
