Buttock lipofilling

Buttock lipofilling consists in increasing the volume of the buttocks by injecting one’s own fat. This lipofilling technique is 100% natural and involves no foreign bodies.

Buttock lipofilling is suitable for men and women who wish to :

• Increase buttock volume.
• Enhance the shape of the buttocks.
• Firm sagging buttocks.

Of course, you must have sufficient fat reserves. Very slim people are more likely to undergo buttock implant augmentation.

Buttock lipofilling is performed under general anesthesia and lasts between one and three hours. The patient usually spends one night in the clinic.

For the buttocks, the surgeon needs a significant amount of fat. He systematically begins by liposuctioning the hips and saddlebags, as slimming the silhouette in these precise areas will enable him to reshape the kidneys and the shape of the buttocks before injecting the fat. If required, fat can also be suctioned from the abdomen or any other area where there is excess fat.

The fat is then centrifuged and evenly distributed in the upper buttocks using fine cannulas. The volume of a buttock augmentation by fat injection varies between 200 and 250 cc.

The benefits of buttock lipostructure:

• Fat is an autologous, 100% natural product. There is therefore no risk of allergy or rejection.
• There are no scars, just fine, almost invisible incisions of less than a millimeter.

At the end of the procedure, the surgeon closes the incisions with absorbable thread.

Buttock lipofilling can be combined with a buttock implant. The fat separates the implant from the skin, giving a more natural appearance and smoothing out the orange-peel skin.

There will be some swelling and bruising, which will subside in a few weeks. It is advisable to sleep on the stomach for three weeks, and as far as possible to sit on the lower part of the buttocks. Activities can be resumed after one week. For sports, wait at least 1 month.

The results of buttock lipofilling are immediately visible, but will be definitive after three to six months. The buttocks are rounded, firmer and better shaped. It is quite normal for them to lose up to 30% of their volume in the weeks following the procedure. For this reason, a second operation at six-month intervals is common. Once the fat graft has set, it is permanent. Fat cells are living tissue. If weight is gained or lost, the buttocks will also increase or decrease in volume.
