Steatopygia, from the Greek "steato" meaning "fat" and pygia meaning "buttocks," is defined as excessive fat of the buttocks, usually seen in women and sometimes called Hottentot bustle because it was commonly seen in the Hottentot people of southern Africa. This affliction is characterized by protrusion and excessive fatness of just the buttocks region. Our patient was not particularly overweight (166 lb) and had a reasonably thin waist and legs. However, her buttocks were so protruding as to appear to have been from a completely different person. She wore only full skirts and could never wear jeans or pants of any kind. By using both superficial and deep serial suction techniques we were able to remove 12.5 L of subcutaneous fat over a two-year period without hospitalization or exogenous transfusion. The superficial technique improved skin retraction.
臀脂过多症，源自希腊语“steato”，意为“脂肪”，“pygia”意为“臀部”，其定义为臀部脂肪过多，通常见于女性，有时被称为霍屯督臀，因为在南非的霍屯督人身上很常见。这种病症的特征是仅臀部区域突出且脂肪过多。我们的患者并非特别超重（166磅），腰部和腿部相当纤细。然而，她的臀部过于突出，看起来就像是另一个人的。她只穿长裙，从不穿牛仔裤或任何种类的裤子。通过使用浅表和深部连续抽吸技术，我们在两年时间里成功去除了12.5升皮下脂肪，无需住院或进行外部输血。浅表技术改善了皮肤回缩。
