POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW
Elastic gluteoplasty is innovative and efficacious. The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia. Two EP5 elastic threads are implanted in each buttock through a single-entry incision. If the buttocks are heavy, a third thread is implanted. The technique of pre-tunneling has proved particularly useful, as it facilitates passage of the Jano cannula. The patient must wear "push-up" panties for a few months after the operation. The technique is described step-by-step in video 43 "Elastic gluteoplasty with the Elasticum thread and Jano cannula under local anesthesia: basic procedure". (31/10/19)
