Introduction: Cellulite is a multifactorial subcutaneous connective tissue disorder that compromises the structure of adipose tissue and can manifest in varying degrees. It causes both unsightly and health changes; thus, requiring specialist treatment.
Objective: This works aims at showing the effectiveness of treatments using subcision and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) filling to treat and correct cellulite irregularities in grades three and four in the gluteal region.
Methodology: This is a retrospective study of patients who underwent two different techniques for the treatment of cellulite grades three and four. Four patients were subjected to treatment in the gluteal region to correct irregularities from cellulite in the most advanced grades, being used both the subcision and the PMMA filling techniques.
Report: Case report of four patients with follow-up treatment for cellulite grades three and four with subcision and polymethyl methacrylate filling.
Conclusion: Results were considered efficient due to satisfactorily correcting all cases of cellulite grades three and four.
Silicone prostheses are an alternative to shape the buttock but further studies are still needed to support the effectiveness of its use. A patient sought medical attention for being dissatisfied with the glutaeal silicone prostheses inserted using subcutaneous technique four years before. The treatment adopted was prosthesis removal surgery, and subsequent filling with PMMA.
Introduction: Post-liposuction fibrosis is a relatively common complication which can be repaired. Case report: We report a case of cutaneous atrophy and diffuse irregularity of the abdominal region with achromia post-liposuction. She was treated with subcision, PMMA filler and fractioned CO 2 laser. Results: Cutaneous colour and irregularities get improved.
