Gluteal projection and augmentation using polycaprolactone-based filler: a promising new indication

Abstract

Buttock improvement and augmentation have become a whole new challenge to the medical aesthetics field. Nowadays, besides surgical options, the only available non-surgical treatment for gluteal augmentation is the injection of biocompatible fillers. Nevertheless, these minimally invasive treatments have their own limitations. In the quest to find a better option to treat this specific area, the idea of using polycaprolactone (PCL) to enhance the gluteal area emerged. The case of a 26 year-old female patient who desired a non-surgical buttock enhancement is presented. She was treated with PCL-based filler to achieve such an improvement. The clinical photographic results were outstanding, with a nine out of 10 overall satisfaction subjective score. In conclusion, using PCL could become a new alternative to non-surgical gluteal enhancement. Due to the collagen biostimulation property of the filler, the treatment will also enhance the skin quality, giving the buttocks an overall improvement.
