Abstract

A 20 years old female patient with muscle and subcutaneous tissue atrophy in the left gluteal region was admitted to our clinic. She had gluteal injection in this area when she was 5 years old. After the injection, gluteal atrophy occurred at the injection site. The patient underwent subfascial gluteal implant placement operation. In one-year follow-up, no postoperative complication was observed. After 1 year the patient underwent an operation of liposuction from non-augmented side and lipofillig to the augmented side to obtain more gluteal symmetry.
