Abstract

Background: In 1969, Bartels et al. presented the initial description of gluteal augmentation using a breast Cronin prosthesis to treat buttock asymmetry. In recent decades, gluteal fat grafting has seen one of the fastest-growing rates of any cosmetic surgery technique. Objectives: Analyze the published techniques of autologous fat transfer for Buttock augmentation (BBL), and compare different protocols to identify which technique is better in safety and effectiveness over the last 5 years, with demonstration of clinical cases. Subjects and methods: This research was carried out by the Plastic Surgery & Burn Unit of the Al-Azhar University School of Medicine. The latest version of the PRISMA statement was adhered to, and both checklist and flow diagram are reported. This study attained all global research published by national and international authors up to the moment, which utilized the Autologous Fat Grafting for Gluteal Augmentation. Result: From the initial pool of 800 items found, 150 were eliminated due to duplication. After examining the titles and abstracts of 200 papers, we made our final selections. We read all 59 papers in their entirety and checked their cited works for further resources. Fifteen articles were selected because they fulfilled our inclusion criteria. Conclusion: In our meta-analysis, the technique proved its efficacy and safety as the overall satisfaction is excellent and most complications were minors with no mortality reported.
