Aesthet Surg J 2024; 44:722-730. [PMID: 37996070 DOI: 10.1093/asj/sjad345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 11/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gluteal augmentation with autologous fat grafting, colloquially referred to as Brazilian butt lift (BBL), is an increasingly common procedure with a highly reported complication profile. OBJECTIVES In this study we aimed to analyze the prevalence and characteristics of complications that accompanied these surgeries at ambulatory surgery facilities. METHODS Adults patients who experienced fat grafting complications from 2019 to 2021 were identified in QUAD A, formerly known as the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF, Highland Park, IL, USA), database. Patients and complications were analyzed based on sociodemographic, surgery-, and facility-specific variables with descriptive statistics and logistic regression. RESULTS Overall, 436 fat grafting procedures with complications were reported to QUAD A, with an overall complication rate of 0.94%. Of these complications, 164 (37.6%) were confirmed to be from gluteal augmentation procedures. Notably, the number of gluteal augmentation with fat grafting complications decreased from the year 2019 (48) to 2020 (36), then nearly doubled from 2020 to 2021 (69). The majority of patients were female (96.7%), with a mean age of 42.0 years and a mean BMI of 28.3 kg/m2. Wound infection was the most commonly documented complication (22.3%). Of the patients who experienced complications, 35.9% presented to a hospital for their complications and 12.6% required reoperation. Four deaths were described. There was no association between sociodemographic or surgical variables and increased odds of readmission or reoperation (P > .05), except for increasing surgeon number and reoperation (P = .02). CONCLUSIONS Gluteal augmentation accounts for a large proportion of complications from fat grafting procedures. Increased reporting requirements may aid in future determination of incidences of complications and improve patient safety. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the fact that injectable filler usage in the gluteal region has not been recommended in formal medical institutions, illegal procedures are performed in many clinics and beauty centers across Egypt. This case report illustrates the illegal practice culminating in a fatal complication. CASE PRESENTATION A 26-year-old female with no relevant medical history presented to the ER with acute onset shortness of breath. The complaint started 16 h before, with a rapidly progressive course, shortly after undergoing a gluteal filler injection at a center in Cairo. At ER, the patient was severely distressed, yet fully conscious and oriented. She was shocked (BP 70/40 mmHg), tachycardic (130 BPM), and tachypneic (30/min) with normal temperature. She had congested pulsating neck veins with positive Kussmaul sign. Chest auscultation revealed normal vesicular breathing with equal air entry and no adventitious sounds. Her O2 saturation was 60% on room air that improved to 85% on O2 mask. ECG showed sinus tachycardia. Echocardiography showed dilated right side, D-shaped septum with systolic flattening, dilated IVC, mild tricuspid regurgitation and estimated RV systolic pressure 53 mmHg. Her ABG showed compensated metabolic acidosis with elevated lactate level. At the ICU, CVP was 18 mmHg. Saline infusion was continued along with noradrenaline infusion initiation. A provisional diagnosis of high-risk pulmonary embolism was made, though CT pulmonary angiography was not available. Accordingly, thrombolytic therapy was initiated with alteplase (100 mg) over 2 h. Also, a dose of pulse steroids (methylprednisolone 200 mg) was given. Chest X-ray showed bilateral heterogenous opacity and ABG showed deteriorating hypoxia and combined metabolic and respiratory acidosis. The patient was intubated upon deterioration of conscious level and was put on mechanical ventilation. Her ET tube showed frequent blood-tinged secretions. Echocardiography showed more right-side dilatation that was consistent with deterioration of clinical status. Three hours after admission the patient developed cardiac arrest and died 2 h later. CONCLUSIONS This case report highlights the dangers associated with injectable filler usage in the gluteal region. Physicians and patients should be aware of the possible complications and how to avoid it.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Volume restoration and enhancement of the gluteal region appearance has become nowadays a popular concern in particular for many women. Several options are available, none however are without complications and side effects. Volume enhancement with soft tissue fillers of the gluteal region is emerging as a highly attractive minimally invasive modality. It has led unfortunately to more unlicensed, nonmedical practitioners administering illicitly injections for buttock augmentation at relatively low costs. MATERIALS AND METHODS To determine safety, efficacy, and cost effectiveness of mostly used soft-tissue fillers for buttock augmentation, a systematic literature search of PubMed, Medline, and Embase was conducted to identify the mostly used fillers for gluteal augmentation. It was complemented by searching for each of the identified filler material separately to retrieve any missed reports. References of clinical studies and trials, reviews, and consensus reports were reviewed as well for the same objective. RESULTS In the final analysis 12, mostly strongly biased clinical reports providing a low level of evidence, were identified for inclusion in the review. Two studies involved Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), 5 Poly-L-lactic acid, 1 Calcium hydroxyapatite and 4 hyaluronic acid filler injection. No studies were identified involving liquid silicone or Polyacrylamide hydrogel. The little available evidence provided by this review indicates that a specific brand of PMMA in Brazil has a demonstrable relatively good safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness record superior to surgical alloplastic gluteal augmentation or to lipofilling only when injected by experts. CONCLUSION Gluteal augmentation with soft tissue fillers is not as simple and innocuous as advertised. Serious complications may occur. Moreover, optimal buttock contouring entails not only volume augmentation but also volume removal; thus, volume augmentation with soft tissue fillers may not be ideal. Popularizing this modality must also be approached with great care. Serious complications do occur; they become inevitable when performed illegally by non-specialized, non-authorized, and unscrupulous practitioners in non-accredited facilities. Patients must be warned that adherence to regulations is critical and that only well-trained certified experts practicing legally in accredited facilities can address safely and efficiently their concerns.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in gluteal fat grafting have resulted in diminished risks through improved understanding of regional anatomy and technical nuances. No anatomic studies identifying the presence or absence of buttock fat compartments have yet been reported. OBJECTIVES The aim of this cadaveric study was to identify and characterize the deep subcutaneous gluteal fat compartments to further understand the nuanced differences between deep and superficial subcutaneous fat layers. METHODS A cadaveric study was performed to identify the fat compartments. Latex injection into the iliac artery and vein was used to prepare 4 fresh (N = 8 hemibuttocks) hydrated cadavers for dissection. Preliminary work identified the likely position of deep gluteal fat compartments. The cannula was positioned under ultrasound guidance in between the superficial and deep gluteal layers. Cadaveric buttocks were infiltrated by the static technique with dyed human fat, dyed applesauce, and dyed saline in an attempt to identify the gluteal deep subcutaneous fat compartments. RESULTS Dissection identified and characterized 7 discrete deep gluteal fat compartments. These comprise 3 medial fat compartments (superior, middle, and inferior); a central fat compartment; and 3 lateral (superior, middle, and inferior) deep fat compartments. CONCLUSIONS Seven deep gluteal fat compartments have been identified that have distinct boundaries and maintain injected contents separate from each other above the gluteal muscle fascia. These compartments can be selectively expanded for buttock augmentation. Knowledge of these compartments enables surgeons to perform gluteal augmentation by static infiltration, injecting autologous fat under ultrasound guidance in the deep subcutaneous fat layer, while optimizing aesthetic considerations.

Abstract
Autoimmune thyroid diseases are the most common organ-specific autoimmune diseases, affecting 2–5% of the world’s population. Due to the autoimmune background of thyroid diseases, we analyzed a wide range of cosmetic procedures, from minimally invasive cosmetic injections (mesotherapy) to highly invasive procedures, such as lifting threads. Out of the seven categories of treatments in aesthetic medicine analyzed by us—hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin, autologous platelet-rich plasma, autologous fat grafting, lifting threads, IPL and laser treatment and mesotherapy—only two, mesotherapy and lifting threads, are not recommended. This is due to the lack of safety studies and the potential possibility of a higher frequency of side effects in patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases.

Abstract
Autologous fat grafting, first described in the 1890s, has since undergone many modifications to optimize safety and efficacy. These changes have resulted in the technique that we now consider standard of care, one that is applied to reconstruction and cosmetic enhancement of the breast and the face both independently and in conjunction with surgical treatment. There is a growing body of evidence that this application has positive outcomes for patient satisfaction, surgeon satisfaction, and overall aesthetic appearance. This article summarizes the body of literature regarding these outcomes, reviews complications of fat grafting in the face and breast, and discusses controversies including radiologic imaging changes and longevity of grafting. Level of Evidence: 4.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Complications of fat grafting by means of injection may lead to unwanted passage of substrate into vessel lumens resulting in catastrophic complications. Likewise, a similar trend of complications is observed with non-autologous fillers regardless of an almost generalized use of blunt cannulas, the latter being implicated in the majority of serious vascular complications of hyaluronic acid injection. This report is the product of investigation to review all cases that underwent an original technique of fat injection: "The smart fat injection" during the cannula's brisk withdrawal technique. The aim of this research was to document the safety of this technique by searching if fat embolism had occurred and if yes, its incidence in this group of fat injection surgeries. METHOD This retrospective review included 3039 patients who underwent the smart fat injection at the facial or corporeal level between 2001 and 2019. The study focused on the search for complications linked to fat yet also cruorical embolism, as the latter may resemble the clinical symptoms of fat embolism. RESULTS The assessment of the 3039 patients who underwent the smart fat injection during cannula's brisk withdrawal, resulted in none presenting clinically detectable fat or a cruorical embolism. CONCLUSION This report documents the safety of the smart fat injection developed over a period of 22 years. It further explains the rationale of the technique for avoiding fat embolism while simultaneously enhancing fat take. This technique should not be implemented without appropriate in vitro training.

Abstract
The illegal use of liquid silicone products or biopolymers in gluteal augmentation procedures is giving rise to multiple complications, with a significant negative health impact, both in the short and long-term. The migration of polymers to the sacral and lumbar region represents a major limitation to conducting neuraxial anesthesia procedures. This silicon migration is unpredictable through the superficial tissue as is widely described in the literature. Caudal, spinal and epidural anesthesia may cross the silicone in the fascia and contaminate the neural axis with substances that are highly capable of causing inflammation, edema and tissue necrosis. In order to improve the safety of neuraxial anesthetic procedures and avoid the potential risk of dissemination and contamination of the neural axis, this complication must be ruled out, or be considered an emerging contraindication for these anesthetic procedures.

Abstract
Background The number of plastic surgery procedures have been rising in the last few years. The morbi-mortality due to illegal use of biopolymers is a public health problem. One of the clinical consequences, foreign body modelling reaction, may be a precursor of ASIA (Autoimmune/Inflammatory disease induced by adjuvants) syndrome.The objective of this article is to present a case-series study of patients who developed ASIA syndrome following gluteal injection with biopolymers and emphasize the importance of toxic exposure in triggering autoimmune responses. A surgical technique used on some of the patients in the study is described. Methods A group of thirteen patients, diagnosed with foreign body modelling reaction, who developed ASIA syndrome confirmed by approved criteria was followed between May 2016 and May 2018. The "Butterfly Wings Technique," a new surgical procedure for patients who have medium to severe compromise, was used on five of them.A narrative literature review was done to look for subjects with ASIA syndrome and gluteal biopolymer infiltration. Results All the patients in the present case-series with foreign body modelling reaction developed ASIA syndrome. Some of them had a background of familial autoimmunity. Five of the patients were surgically treated and saw a clinical improvement after the extraction of the biopolymer with the proposed technique.The narrative literature review identified 7 articles related to the disease through the database search. Conclusions We suggest that foreign body modelling reaction should be considered a precursor to ASIA syndrome. New research projects will be needed in the future to evaluate the factors that determine when ASIA syndrome is triggered in a patient with this reaction.

Abstract
Macroscopic fat embolism (MAFE) has grabbed the attention of the plastic surgery community in recent years because of its high mortality rate. Many articles on preventing MAFE during gluteal fat grafting are available in the literature. However, total prevention is difficult: a number of factors, both technical and human, mean that MAFE remains a potential complication. This review was written with the main goal of providing a treatment plan. MAFE shares many similar pathophysiologic and hemodynamic features with massive thrombotic pulmonary embolism (PE), especially the associated cardiopulmonary decompensation. Lessons learned from PE management were used to devise a management algorithm for MAFE. The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and its potential application as a main modality of treatment for MAFE was explored. The lack of evidence in the literature for the treatment of MAFE, and its high mortality, lent urgency to the need to write an article on the management aspect in the form of a narrative review, to ensure that every plastic surgeon practicing gluteal fat grafting is knowledgeable about the treatment aspect of this deadly complication.
