Purpose: The buttocks region has been associated with allure and sex appeal for centuries. Gluteal implants enable buttocks remodeling in a way that is not possible in other methods. One of the reasons that render gluteal implant surgeries unpopular is the fear of complications, the main problems being seroma, wound dehiscence, extrusion, and a visible or palpable implant. The authors present the XYZ technique, which provides anatomical reference points to guide the intramuscular dissection procedure in a feasible and safe way, resulting in a lower complication rate. Methods: The XYZ procedure was done for buttock augmentation on 8 patients from December 2009 to June 2010. Patient's ages ranged from 27 to 44 with a mean age of 36. Seven patients were applied the 250cc sized Elastomer implants with one patient 290cc sized implant. Preoperative marking was done with the patients in the standing position. Bisection of the gluteus maximus muscle was done at the midpoint thickness to create a plane for implant insertion, which is called the sandwich plane. Results: The 8 cases were performed safely without major complications. However one patient had minor wound dehiscence, and was managed with conservative treatment. Another patient had a discomfort on the buttocks for a long time. The patients were followed up for average 6 months. All patients were satisfied with the aesthetic results. Conclusion: In performing the XYZ technique for gluteal augmentation, the surgeon must split the muscle into two equal halves with anatomical reference points to guide the muscle detachment in a symmetrical way at an adequate depth. This method provides a guideline for the surgeon in determining the ideal plane during intramuscular dissection and gives predictable results with low complication rates. Intramuscular gluteoplasty with gluteal implants offers predictable, aesthetically pleasing results without contour irregularities and only a low incidence of major complications.

인간의 원천적인 욕망인 에로티시즘은 억압과 금지속에서 인류초기에서부터 현대에 이르기까지 끊임없이 관심의 대상이 되어왔다. 이러한 에로티시즘은 인간의 여러예술활동 뿐만아니라 인간의 내면세계를 표현하는 입체조형물로서의 패션에도 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있으며 자기표현의 중심수단인 패션을 유지발전시켜온 큰 원동력이다. 이 에로티시즘은 본질적으로 심리적인 기반에서 발생하는 것이며 모든 생성의 힘이며, 강력한 창조력으로 불멸의 세계로 접근하게 하는 추진력인 동시에 자아충족을 발견하는 열망인 것이다. 이러한 에로티시즘은 우리의 심리 가장 밑부분에 있는 무의식의 세계속에서 소용돌이 치고 있다가 불가사이한 정열로 여러가지의 예술과 행위로 표출되는 것이다. 이렇게 지극히 자연스러운 인간심리의 발로인 성적요구가 승화되어 의상을 통하여 표현될때 인간은 자신의 개성을 표현하고, 남에서 매력적으로 보이고, 상대방의 시선을 끌며 자신의 성적매력을 과시하게 된다. 이러한 인간의 욕구는 고대에서 부터 현대에 이르기까지 의상의 에로티시즘표현으로 계속되어 왔다.
