Résumé

Many theories referring to the conception of a beautiful buttock have been put forward, but little has been proved, especially in the Asian group. To analyse the aesthetic preference for aesthetically pleasing characteristics in the Chinese population. In the survey, we computerized the buttock image of a Chinese female through the Photoshop software (Adobe Photoshop CS5; Adobe Systems, Inc., San Jose, Calif), and buttocks with and without four features were attained. An online questionnaire was made to rank the most aesthetic buttocks. The data for the various demographic groups were compared using the Pearson Chi-square test. A value of p < 0.05 was used for statistical significance. In total, 2348 responses were collected. Over half of the respondents prefer without supragluteal fossettes (56.9%), V-shaped crease (60.4%) and lateral depression (90.1%). The most attractive infragluteal fold option was short type (34.9%), followed by median infragluteal fold (32.7%) and long infragluteal fold (32.4%). Supragluteal fossettes, median or long infragluteal fold and V-shaped crease were more preferred among young people. Supragluteal fossettes, V-shaped crease and lateral depressions were not preferred in over half of the respondents. The aesthetic preference was influenced by the gender and age. The plastic surgeons should consider the variabilities above when establishing aesthetic aim for beautiful buttocks in gluteoplasty.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Many theories referring to the conception of a beautiful buttock have been put forward, but little has been proved, especially in the Asian group.
OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
To analyse the aesthetic preference for aesthetically pleasing characteristics in the Chinese population.
METHODS METHODS
In the survey, we computerized the buttock image of a Chinese female through the Photoshop software (Adobe Photoshop CS5; Adobe Systems, Inc., San Jose, Calif), and buttocks with and without four features were attained. An online questionnaire was made to rank the most aesthetic buttocks. The data for the various demographic groups were compared using the Pearson Chi-square test. A value of p < 0.05 was used for statistical significance.
RESULTS RESULTS
In total, 2348 responses were collected. Over half of the respondents prefer without supragluteal fossettes (56.9%), V-shaped crease (60.4%) and lateral depression (90.1%). The most attractive infragluteal fold option was short type (34.9%), followed by median infragluteal fold (32.7%) and long infragluteal fold (32.4%). Supragluteal fossettes, median or long infragluteal fold and V-shaped crease were more preferred among young people.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Supragluteal fossettes, V-shaped crease and lateral depressions were not preferred in over half of the respondents. The aesthetic preference was influenced by the gender and age. The plastic surgeons should consider the variabilities above when establishing aesthetic aim for beautiful buttocks in gluteoplasty.
