In the past, several techniques for raising the gluteal mass have been
described, all of which were based on dermolipectomies of major or minor
extension. The main disadvantage of these dermolipectomies is the visible
external scar. The author presents his technique for lipectomy of the
ilio-lumbosacral region. It is proposed that multiplanar liposuction in this
region lengthens the lumbar lordotic curve and results in upward traction on the
buttocks, resulting in a more youthful contour of the region. The article
describes a series of 98 patients with lipodystrophy of the ilio-lumbosacral
area who underwent liposuction of the region and were highly satisfied with the
results.
