The gluteal lipofilling technique is also indicated for patients with sagging tissues caused by weight loss, or due to the natural passage of time, and who wish to restore tone and lost shapes.

The intervention can be considered from the age of 18. There must be fat reserves in the belly, love handles, hips and thighs.

The ratio between the aspirated fat and the usable fat for lipofilling is about one third. The resorption being 30% on average, about 25% of the fat taken initially will remain in the end.
Buttock lipofilling is a surgical procedure that can lead to risks and complications.

A first consultation with your surgeon is essential to know if this intervention is adapted to your particular situation.

The buttock lipofilling procedure

The buttock lift will positively transform the harmony of your silhouette and provide you with a more voluminous buttock curve . Follow your surgeon’s recommendations to optimize the healing process and the quality of the result.

Before the intervention

The first consultation is essential to understand your request and your motivations. Depending on your morphology and your anatomy, your surgeon will determine his operating strategy.

The goal is to obtain a result adapted to your figure and up to your expectations. The surgeon and the patient will define the desired ideal shape together, according to the morphology of the buttocks of the patient,

A preoperative check-up will be carried out in accordance with the prescriptions.

Anesthesia

Buttock lipofilling takes place under general anesthesia , as several anatomical sites are involved at the same time.

A consultation with your anesthesiologist will take place a few days before your procedure.

The day of the procedure

Your surgeon will adapt his operating strategy according to your particular case in order to obtain the best possible result.

During the first stage of the operation, the surgeon will remove the fat from the targeted areas using a non-traumatic micro-cannula.

Liposuction of the love handles and the contour of the buttocks can give the whole silhouette a more harmonious shape. The saddlebags are symultaneously treated if they are too developed.

The choice of withdrawal areas also depends on the amount of fat deemed necessary.
The fat is centrifuged in order to isolate the adipocytes.

The surgeon reinjects the fat in several layers through micro-incisions, using fine cannulas. Part of the fat is injected into the the buttocks muscles .

This also allows to increase the volume of the buttocks while insuring a better hold of the graft.

The scars are almost invisible. Their number depends on on the number of areas to be aspirated. There are usually 2 scars per buttock, corresponding to the passage of the fat injection canula. They measure less than 1 mm, and are therefore almost invisible.

The duration of the procedure depends on the number of donor sites and the amount of fat to be transferred. It can vary from 1h30 to 3 hours depending on the case.

After the procedure

The pain is generally moderate, sometimes more severe in the aspirated areas. It can be relieved by simple analgesics.

Any edema on the donor areas and the breasts disappear between 1 and 3 months, as for bruises disappear after a few weeks. It is recommended to rest for one week after the operation and to stop sports activities for up to 3 months if they involve the buttocks.

An elastic girdle should be worn for 4 weeks after buttock augmentation surgery.

You will have to sleep on your stomach during the first days after surgery and to sit on the lower part of the buttocks or on the thighs for the 3 first post-operative weeks. Manual lymphatic drainage sessions from the first days, followed by Endermologie® drainage will accelerate the resorption of edema and optimize healing.

Results

The resultis visible from the first month and the final result will be appreciated after 6 months.

This intervention generally brings great satisfaction to the patients who will benefit from physical and psychological well-being, while recovering their power of attraction and their femininity.

Since the grafted fat is alive and dependent on weight variations, the patient must ensure that she does not lose weight in order to maintain the volume of her buttocks. On the other hand, it will tend to increase if the patient gains weight.

The goal of this surgery is to bring an improvement and not to achieve perfection. If your wishes are realistic, the result should give you great satisfaction.
