Abstract

The gluteal region has become a rising area of interest in plastic surgery in recent years, as reflected in body contouring surgery trends. In this study, the authors explain what the arrow effect consists of and how to highlight it during a Brazilian butt lift or a gluteal liposculpture: liposuction of the sacral triangle, fat grafting of the upper gluteal quadrants, liposuction of the dimples of Venus and of the midline superficially to the spinal column, and fat grafting of the erector spinae muscles.
