As interest in posterior body contour has increased, there has been an upward trend in the number of gluteal augmentations performed. However, there has also been a proportional increase in postoperative complications and subsequent revision operations. Nevertheless, there are currently few studies or reports on secondary gluteal augmentation. The purpose of the present study was to identify methods to treat and prevent complications resulting from gluteal augmentation.
