With the arrival of warmer weather, the demand for buttock liposculpture is growing. In this section, we'll take a closer look at the technique of buttock liposculpture. The technique involves a combination of liposuction of areas with excess fat, such as the flanks and saddlebags, and fat transfer to areas with volume loss.
This recent technique can replace buttock augmentation with prostheses in most cases, especially as it does not present the same complications.
In the first instance, the surgeon performs a liposuction of the flanks and saddlebags, except that the aspirated fat is preserved and reinjected to perform a increase in buttock volume.
The photo below illustrates the principles of this procedure:
In blue, areas to be liposuctioned:
Liposuction of the flanks and saddlebags not only removes unsightly excess fat, but also "hollows out" the areas around the buttocks for better contouring.
Yellow and orange indicate areas where fat transfer is performed:
A fat transfer is performed on the upper part of the buttock to "lift" the buttock and obtain a harmonious curve.
The orange zone corresponds to lateral gluteal depressions. It is important to fill this area to avoid an unsightly hollow post-op.
The procedure requires general anaesthesia and takes place at the clinique Saint George and requires overnight hospitalization.
Post-operative liposculpture of the buttocks:
Little pain but moderate discomfort in the flanks and saddlebags for 15 days.
To reduce swelling, a panty must be worn.
To reduce the risk of phlebitis, compression stockings must also be worn.
We can judge the results of buttock lipofilling after 6 months.
