Objectives: Injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a biodegradable synthetic polymer that stimulates collagen production, leading to improvement of skin laxity and gradual volume restoration.
The objective of this lecture is to describe a new approach in the treatment of the gluteal area with polilactic acid.

Introduction: Buttocks are a sign of beauty and attractiveness, but it is also the spot where several different changes occur, such as laxity, cellulite, unevenness, ptosis, crepiness... and unfortunately usually all at the same time. Polilactic acid injected in the right depth of the skin and distributed in specific regions can address all these issues related to the gluteal area. It is an optimized and individualized technique for injection of PLLA in the gluteal region according to the needs of each patient.

Materials / method: The technique involves clinical and anatomical evaluations of the gluteal region, and there are three distinct approaches for injecting PLLA, based on the most important factor to be improved in the gluteal region: (1) skin quality, (2) contour and lifting, or (3) projection and volume.

Results: This technique is associated with highly favorable patient outcomes in terms of improvements across all key areas of gluteal augmentation; improvement in skin quality and laxity, contour improvement and lifting, and gluteal volume and
projection.

Conclusion: Treatment with injectable polilactic acid can improve laxity and contour, can give volume to the buttocks, and even promote a lifting effect, depending on where it's injected, according to each patient's need.
