General information
Buttock lipofilling is a technique for augmenting the buttocks by injecting the patient's own fat, which has many advantages over simply inserting buttock implants. It increases volume, modifies the contours of the buttocks, and tightens sagging buttocks to make them more beautiful. Lipofilling gives a more natural result than buttock implants. Due to its high blood supply, the buttocks are generally an ideal recipient area for augmentation with fat. 300 to 350 ml of fat per buttock may be required for large buttocks or very loose skin. Depending on individual preferences and the patient's basic body type, we try to reproduce the desired buttock shape. Of course, it is difficult to achieve exactly what a patient wants if her basic body type makes this difficult. However, this will be explained clearly during the consultation to avoid any disappointment. Not all lipofilling procedures are the same. We use the German WAL Bodyjet® technique, which is specifically designed for lipofilling, with innovative instruments to minimize the resorption of fat injected into the buttocks and achieve the best aesthetic result. To do this, we perform low-pressure liposuction and work in a closed circuit to prevent deterioration through contact with air. There is therefore a perfect match between the fat removal and reinjection systems. The fat obtained using this method is filtered and washed and can then be used for buttock augmentation. During the procedure, between 50 and 80% of the fat cells survive. The scars are virtually invisible and measure less than 4 mm. You are a good candidate for buttock lipofilling if: – you have sufficient fat reserves in your hips and other areas for lipofilling – you are a non-smoker – you have a stable weight – you lead a generally healthy lifestyle and are in good health.
