Objectives: The goal is to find an alternative technique to gluteoplasty or hyaluronic acid infiltrations, to reconstruct, shape and volumize a toneless and shapeless gluteus, as can occur in cases of lipoatrophy, weight loss or aging. This is made through a polymer that regenerates tissue, such as polylactic acid.
In this report we want to present a study consisting of 20 patients treated with polylactic acid in the buttock region, which allowed the reconstruction of the structure of the same.
Introduction: Polylactic acid is an important polymeric material for biomedical applications thanks to its properties such as: biodegradability, mechanical strength and biocompatible regeneration capacity.
Polylactic acid is successfully used to correct imperfections and imperfections of the face such as: wrinkles, furrows, acne or surgical scars, drooping or slightly accentuated cheekbones, marionette-lines, dark circles for more than 20 years.
Polylactic acid is therefore a non-toxic, ecological polymer with characteristics that allow its use in the human body.
Materials / method: 20 patients with polylactic acid, 18 women, and 2 men with an average age of 55 were treated, from May 2020 to today.
All patients performed the treatment in three sessions, approximately 30/45 days apart from each other. 1 vial was used for each buttock, so there are 2 vials for the entire buttock.
The micro particles of the entire vial of polylactic acid are inserted into the buttock with a micro bolus technique.
These particles in the dermis determine the synthesis of collagen which can be appreciated only after a session 4/6 weeks later.
Results: The results were evaluated with photos before and 8 months after the first session.
90% of patients are satisfied with the result.
After the session, the patient can resume his normal activities.
A study was also conducted on the variation of the WAS score (wrinkle, assessment, score)
Furthermore, for the evaluation of the results, a Vega2 study was conducted to evaluate the thickness of the dermis by ultrasound.
Conclusion: Polylactic acid has a wide range of applications in the face and body, there are some limitations, due to the poor preparation of the product and its poor management which unfortunately did not allow its proper integration in Italy.
