Submuscular Gluteal Augmentation.

Submuscular gluteal augmentation is a very valid plane for buttocks implantation, even more so in North America, where surgeons can only use silicone elastomer implants. Irrespective of how soft elastomer implants are made, they are much firmer than the silicone gel implants that can be used in other countries. A deeper plane with more soft tissue coverage provides more natural results, as long as the anatomic boundaries are respected. Proper patient and implant selection is the key factor for satisfactory gluteal contours and outcomes.
