ABSTRACT

Body exhibition, specifically of the gluteal region, has favored the increasingly large search for lipoinjection to beautify that area. Over time, several lipoinjection techniques have been described; however, postoperative information is limited, especially regarding sensitivity, this being a fundamental point. We carried out a cross-sectional study to evaluate gluteal sensitivity after gluteal lipoinjection. We included 20 patients in two groups of 10 each; the first undergoing liposuction and the second without liposuction. The gluteal region was divided into four quadrants and the sensitivity in each of them was evaluated. The results showed two patients in the first group with insensitivity to rubbing: one in the left upper-medial quadrant and the other insensitivity to rubbing in the right upper-lateral region. In the second group, one patient had insensitivity to rubbing in the right inferior medial quadrant. The other parameters evaluated were positive in all patients. We conclude that gluteal insensitivity after an aesthetic procedure of lipoinjection in this region should be anticipated and posed as a possible complication, which can have catastrophic consequences for the patient and the surgeon.
