A Novel Two-Step Ultrasound-Guided Technique for Anesthesia and Postsurgery Analgesia in Gluteal Augmentation Surgery

Copyright © 2023, Fajardo Perez et al..

In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for gluteal augmentation and reshaping surgeries with intramuscular implants which are becoming increasingly popular. Until now, this surgery was mainly performed under general anesthesia, but recently locoregional anesthesia techniques, such as tumescent local anesthesia, are being applied more and more. Today, the use of ultrasound for locoregional anesthesia and analgesia allows us to perform techniques that are increasingly precise and burdened with lower risks. In this report, we present a novel two-step ultrasound-guided technique combining a botox injection in the gluteus maximus four weeks before surgery and tumescent anesthesia with a cluneal nerve block. Furthermore, the combination of anesthetic and analgesic techniques can guarantee a better result both in terms of surgical execution of the intervention and in reducing pain and improving patient comfort in the postoperative period.
