Figure 1 Preoperative (row I: A1–E1) and postoperative (3-month follow-up, row II: A2–E2) views of a 29-year-old patient presenting for revision gluteal augmentation. Initial examination showed subcutaneous implant malposition and contour irregularity. Postoperative images demonstrate improved upper pole projection, enhanced contour, and restoration of buttock symmetry following implant exchange and surgical correction.
