Buttock augmentation is a surgical procedure for reshaping and increasing the size of the buttocks, either to create a balanced look, or to simply enlarge the butt area. This is accomplished with either an implant (silicone) or through micro fat grafting. This procedure has become more in demand in recent years due to people wanting to look like celebrities, e.g., Jennifer Lopez.
Filler-induced non-thrombotic pulmonary embolism after genital aesthetic injection
Published in Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2022
At present, the anatomical mechanism of FINTPE caused by genital injection is not precise. In general, the injury of blood vessels is regarded as the cause (14). For vaginal injection, with abundant vessels and narrow local space in the vagina, it is likely to produce excessive pressure, severe vascular injury, and filler displacement during injection (14,17,20,31). It is supposed that the fillers may be inadvertently injected into the blood vessels through the vaginal wall and drained to the internal iliac vein through the venous plexus on both sides of the vagina and through the uterine vein, bladder venous plexus, and rectal venous plexus. The fillers in the internal iliac vein then enter the inferior vena cava reflux system and reach the right atrium. Finally, the fillers pass through the right atrium and right ventricle and successfully cause embolism by pumping into the pulmonary arteries (15). This process is kind of like the mechanism of the pulmonary embolism caused by buttock augmentation with fat grafting (34,35). We summarized that the mechanism of FINTPE has two elements: 1. There are many blood vessels in anatomical parts, especially thin-walled veins with large blood flow, which largely increases the possibility of vascular damage. 2. Large injection volume within a small injection space leads to excessive local pressure, pushing the emboli to enter the blood vessel.

In buttocks grade 3, there is a combination of severe ptosis and flaccidity of the buttocks. This may call for an extended procedure with for example posterior lift of the lower back combined with infragluteal fold plasty and/or reconstructive autologous buttock augmentation for projection.

Most of the buttock augmentation procedures are silicone implant surgeries, which present risks inherent to the technique and to the type of surgical approach, which can be associated with skin flap, liposculpture, and implant placement techniques.
