25.4 Irregularities andAdherences Zones
Irregularities and adherence zones of the gluteal surface (also known as retractions), are depressions caused by tissue changes in the subcutaneous cell tissue, fascia or muscular bers, and which are exacerbated by modications from post-bariatric weight loss (previously described histological alterations).
25.4.1 Presentation Plane
When it occurs in the subcutaneous tissue or fascia, it corresponds to alterations of the adipose tissue in its function as a structure of the connective tissue network in the region.
However, when its origin is in the depth of a muscular structure, it is due to the application of injections, which is constant in patients undergoing a bariatric proce­dure (especially iron), and sometimes becomes chronic, causing an inammatory process in the injection zone, which will eventually manifest as retraction.
25.4.2 Presentation Topography
In conventional patients, they usually appear in the lower third of the buttock as depression/brotic atrophy zones, or in areas of previous isolated injections.
In a post-bariatric patient, it is observed in any zone: in the upper third (speci­cally in the upper external quadrant where injections are applied chronically), but as they lose weight and more ptosis is generated, retractions now manifest in the mid­dle third, in addition to those of the lower third, which were always present even without a history of intramuscular injection (Image 25.5).
In patients with a history of morbid obesity or super obesity, the “Massive” pre­sentation of adherence occurs not only in all thirds of the gluteal area, but also toward the trochanteric and posterolateral thighs (Image 25.6a, b).
25.4.3 Importance ofClinical Identication
25.4.3.1 Superior Third
Because surgical planning of a post-bariatric gluteoplasty will involve performing an en bloc tissue resection (when there is not enough fat component to perform a gluteal fat ap), or only cutaneous (with the caudal mobilization of the fatty tissue for a gluteal ap), the superior third is the zone that represents the best prognosis, as no matter the technique used, it will completely eliminate retraction and its stigma (Image 25.7).

25.4.3.2 Mid andInferior Third
351
In these areas, adherences and irregularities will generally be subcutaneous; there­fore, when performing the buttock lift (as part of a circular abdominoplasty or a single procedure), and/or an increase with autologous fatty tissue or implant, they will have a considerable improvement by applying tension to the skin surface.
However, if retraction is deeper (muscular or at the fascia), it will be necessary to perform a rigotomy to eliminate skin memory in that brotic zone, in addition to fat grafting (Image 25.8).
25.4.4 Massive Presentation
It is the indication to perform a gluteal lift associated with liposuction of the tro­chanteric region sequentially.
It means that this type of patient presents severe sequelae not only in the gluteal region but also in the thighs and the femoral region, requiring at least two sequential surgical procedures, since planning an aggressive resection in a single surgical pro­cedure with excessive tension (trying to improve irregularities) poses high risk of dehiscence due to the great counterweight of legs.
And on the other hand, performing a single conservative procedure will deliver suboptimal outcomes.

25.5 Infragluteal Echoes
M. Morales-Olivera
When the patient presents a dysfunctional ptosis (Grade V ptosis), every tissue com­ponent is damaged, and if the patient also had a loss greater than 50kg, parallel and transversal lines (cephalic or caudal) are clinically presented in the true infraglu­teal sulcus.
These lines are the result of the “excessive” accumulation of loose skin in the lower gluteal third, and sometimes with adherence zones from the middle third, which appear as what I have called “infragluteal echoes“(given the image reected as ripples on the skin surface (Image 25.9a, b).
25.5.1 Importance ofClinical Identication
The presence of infragluteal echoes indicates a severe sequelae, regardless of the type of buttock, of the presence or absence of an adipose component, or if the patient presents true or dysfunctional ptosis.
This evident sign of severe sequelae provides a guideline to perform an extensive buttock lift (with or without augmentation with autologous tissue or implant), since excess skin allows for great traction. It should be noted that this is possible in a post­bariatric patient, where viscoelasticity is altered, as long as there is no signicant countertraction.

Therefore, the only contraindication is if the patient is having irregularities and adherence zones in their massive presentation, where, as previously mentioned, should be conducted in more than one surgical procedure.
25.6 Post-Bariatric Buttock Classication
After analyzing the four components that make up the gluteal region, we can see that they all have an inuence, to a greater or lesser extent, in their formation and clinical presentation.
As such, once the differences between a post-bariatric buttock from a conven­tional one are understood, a classication can be made depending on three factors.
The rst is the global gluteal shape or presentation (from the bone structure and the relation of the upper and lower body contours).
The second is the clinical characteristics in the skin (such as retractions) or in the muscle (ptosis degrees), which will indicate the severity of the sequelae.
And third, the amount of adipose tissue present, as it is the main factor involved in the prognosis of reconstruction.
1. Type of buttock
(a) Adequate relation of the upper and lower body contours. In other words, rib
cage dimensions are similar to that of the pelvic structure, regardless of the actual waist, given by the anterior abdominal loose skin and the amount of fat from the sacral and suprasacral region (Image 25.10).

(b) The lower body contour is larger than the upper body contour. Large amount
of pelvic-trochanteric fat (Image 25.11).
(c) The upper body contour is larger than the lower body contour. This may be
due to ventilation changes that have affected the rib cage during obesity, or it may also be a small diameter pelvis per se, clinically exacerbated after weight loss (Image 25.12).
2. Severity of the sequelae (Images 25.13, 25.14, and 25.15)
• Mild
– Ptosis grade IV. – Without gluteal adherence or retraction zones. – No infragluteal echoes.
• Moderate
– Ptosis grade IV–V. – With zones of gluteal irregularities and adherences. – No infragluteal echoes.
• Severe
– Ptosis grade V. – With zones of gluteal irregularities and adherences. – With infragluteal echoes.

3. Fat component
357
(a) With fat component
Presenting fatty tissue in the pelvic girdle (steatopygia), concentrated mostly in the sacral and suprasacral region, sometimes extending to the trochanteric region. Specically in gluteal ptosis, the highest concentration is located in the inferior third (as part of tissues that exceed the infragluteal sulcus) (Image 25.16).
Importance of Clinical Identication: Fat concentration in the sacral and suprasacral region is useful for reconstruction using pedicled gluteal aps. Similarly, correct identication of fat in the trochanteric region will allow lipo­suction and with it, considerably improve results after gluteoplasty.
(b) Without fat component
There is no accumulation of fatty tissue in the sacral, suprasacral region, or in the brotic connective tissue network of the gluteal network. The result is a buttock without shape, volume, or projection (Image 25.17).
Importance of Clinical Identication: Despite improving shape with a gluteal lift procedure, there are no options to improve buttock volume and projection with autologous fatty tissue, as it is absent (Table25.2).
