“…The goal is to have these fat deposits form pillars that not only support the buttock but also help restore the volume of the gluteus maximus muscle when it is inserted into the lateral portion of the greater trochanter and iliotibial tract. 9 , 10 It is an excellent option to restore volume in the ptotic gluteus, as it provides more support by filling the posterior thigh and avoids the disparity that is observed when there is a large volume of gluteus with a very thin leg.…”

Muscle Stimulation for Aesthetic Body Shaping: A Comprehensive and Critical Review

BACKGROUND Aesthetic muscle stimulation (AMS) using high-intensity electromagnetic field (HIFEM) targets skeletal muscle neurons, causing muscle hypertrophy and loss of adipose tissue, thereby cultivating a sculpted physique. Many studies have evaluated AMS for noninvasive body contouring; however, the efficacy, safety, and long-term data remain unclear. OBJECTIVE To critically evaluate the current literature on the use of electromagnetic muscle stimulation for body contouring and provide a consensus on patient selection and long-term efficacy of AMS. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed and Embase were searched using the terms: "HIFEM," "Electromagnetic therapy," and "muscle" or "Electrical stimulation muscle treatments" and "aesthetics." Studies involving the use of muscle stimulation for nonaesthetic/dermatologic, in vitro studies or studies involving animals were excluded. RESULTS Twenty studies in total were included [9 moderate-quality, 8 low-quality, and 3 very low-quality studies] based on the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation scale, representing 521 patients. Body sites evaluated included the abdomen (378 patients), buttock (156 patients), arms (22 patients), and calves (15 patients). CONCLUSION Electromagnetic muscle stimulation represents an effective therapeutic intervention for abdominal contouring that yields increased muscle thickness, and reduced abdominal fat thickness, for up to 1 year after treatment. Larger, controlled studies are needed to determine the efficacy of electromagnetic muscle stimulation alone for contouring of buttocks, thighs, arms, and calves.

“…The buttocks are an essential component of feminine beauty, and gluteoplasty is one of the most rapidly expanding cosmetic surgery treatments (Table 3). [57][58][59] Buttock cosmetic surgery now includes liposuction, liposuction plus augmentation, and gluteal implants; nonetheless, cosmetic surgery to improve the contour of this area is often troublesome because ethnic perceptions of the ideal buttock region differ substantially. 60 Patient satisfaction has been reported to vary substantially by ethnicity in gluteal lifts, fat grafting, and gluteal implants, and ethnic disparities in the buttocks form are notable among Caucasian, Latino, and African American women.…”

An increasing number of people are opting for cosmetic surgeries. For many years, the physical and aesthetic appearance of Caucasians has been considered to be ideal. However, it is now commonly acknowledged that attractiveness and aesthetic standards vary among cultural backgrounds and ethnic groups and that Western attractiveness criteria no longer apply to all. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive review of studies that examined cultural and ethnic variations in preferences for facial, breast, and gluteal aesthetics, as well as reviewed studies that investigated ethnic disparities in attitudes and motivations for cosmetic surgery. A total of 4532 references were identified, 66 of which met the inclusion criteria. Several studies have reported that facial golden ratios are invalid for representing perceived attractiveness standards among different ethnicities. The majority of studies also indicated that facial aesthetic interventions should not aim to Westernize but to optimize ethnic traits. Significant ethnic differences in preferences for upper- and lower-pole breast proportions have been reported. The size of the buttocks and waist-to-hip ratio were identified as the main factors of buttock aesthetics, with buttock size preferences having a high ethnic diversity. Interest in cosmetic surgical procedures while maintaining ethnic identity continues to grow among young women worldwide. This comprehensive review strongly suggests that accommodating cultural and ethnic differences in aesthetic standards in cosmetic surgery planning can lead to more acceptable cosmetic outcomes.
