title: Buttock augmentation with silicone prosthesis--a case report.
abstract: A 18-year-old male patient presented with small, flat buttock due to gluteus maximus contracture which caused psychological problem. Bilateral gluteal augmentation was achieved with tissue expanders followed by permanent silicone prosthesis replacement. A two year postoperative follow up revealed no capsular contracture of the prosthesis and no limitation of the patient's activities. The improved contour has improved the patient's outlook on his body image or confidence in his body image.
