Lipofilling of the buttocks

Lipofilling, also known as lipostructure, is a cosmetic surgery technique that involves removing autologous fat (patient's own) from an area of ​​the body where it is in excess, such as the abdomen, thighs or the flanks, then purifying it and reinjecting it into another area requiring additional volume. This method is used to restore or improve the contours and proportions of the face or body, using a natural material.

Lipofilling offers several advantages:

• Natural: Uses the patient's own fat, eliminating the risk of rejection.
• Long-lasting: Results may be permanent, although some patients may require touch-ups.
• Safe: Avoid the use of synthetic products or foreign bodies.
• Versatile: Can be applied to various parts of the body, such as face, breasts, buttocks and hands.

Lipofilling, also known as Brazilian Butt Lift, has several significant benefits for buttock augmentation:

1. Natural augmentation: Lipofilling uses the patient's own fat, collected by liposuction from other areas of the body, to increase the volume of the buttocks. This eliminates the risk of rejection and gives a more natural result compared to synthetic implants.

2. No foreign bodies: Unlike buttock implants, lipofilling does not involve the insertion of foreign bodies, thereby reducing the risk of complications such as infections or displacement of the implants.

3. Overall improvement of the silhouette: The procedure is often combined with liposuction, which allows other parts of the body to be sculpted and refined. This creates a more harmonious and balanced silhouette by redistributing fat to achieve more defined curves.

4. Lifting effect without additional scarring: Lipofilling can also have a lifting effect on the buttocks, making them firmer and higher without the significant scarring that comes with more invasive surgical techniques.

5. Personalized Results: The surgeon can sculpt the buttocks according to the patient's specific wishes, allowing for further customization of results to meet individual preferences.

6. Durability of Results: The reinjected fat cells that survive the implantation procedure become a permanent part of the buttocks, providing long-lasting results, although some patients may require touch-ups to maintain the desired effect.

In short, buttock lipofilling allows you to obtain a natural and harmonious increase in the buttocks while improving the general appearance of the silhouette without the risks associated with synthetic implants.

Indications for buttock augmentation by lipofilling include:

1. Flat or small buttocks: For people wishing to increase the volume of their buttocks naturally without resorting to implants.

2. Buttocks Asymmetry: To correct unevenly sized or shaped buttocks and achieve a more symmetrical appearance.

3. Loss of volume due to age or weight loss: For those who have lost volume in the buttocks due to aging or significant weight loss.

4. Improvement of overall silhouette: For patients wishing to refine certain areas of their body (such as the abdomen, hips or thighs) through liposuction and reinject fat into the buttocks to create more harmonious curves.

5. Buttocks enhancement: To achieve a lifting effect without additional scarring, improving the firmness and height of the buttocks.

6. Preference for natural solutions: For those who prefer to use their own fat rather than synthetic implants, thereby reducing the risk of rejection or foreign body complications.

7. Absence of significant ptosis: Patients whose buttocks do not have excessive skin sagging, because lipofilling does not significantly correct excess skin.

8. Good general health: Patients must be in good general health, without serious medical conditions that could complicate surgery or recovery.

9. Sufficient amount of donor fat: Patients must have a sufficient amount of fat in other areas of the body to allow for collection and reinjection.

These indications help determine whether a person is a good candidate for buttock lipofilling, aiming to achieve optimal and natural aesthetic results.
