Is it possible to create a rounded gluteal shape without using implants? Yes! With the lipofilling technique.

LIPOFILLING OF THE BUTTOCKS

- is a method of correction of the gluteal region, based on the use of the patient's own fat cells. During the surgery, liposuction is performed - the biomaterial is taken and then injected into the buttocks.

  1. FROM WHICH AREAS IS FAT TAKEN FOR BUTTOCK LIPOFILLING?

For buttock lipofilling, fat is taken from any problem areas - abdomen, sides, hips, shoulders. The slimmer the patient, the more areas of liposuction may be required.

  1. IS IT NECESSARY TO GAIN WEIGHT BEFORE THE SURGERY?

Yes, if you don't have a lot of fatty tissue, you can gain 2-3 kilograms, but no more. You should be comfortable at this weight, because you will need to keep it for a year in order to maintain the result of the surgery.

  1. HOW MUCH FAT CAN BE TAKEN AWAY IN ONE OPERATION?

No more than 5 liters to avoid the risk of anemia.

  1. WILL THERE BE SCARRING AFTER SURGERY?

No, there is no scarring after the surgery. Liposuction and lipofilling are performed through small punctures, which remain completely invisible after healing.

  1. HOW LONG CAN I SIT AFTER LIPOFILLING OF THE BUTTOCKS?

You cannot sit or lie on your buttocks after lipofilling for 3 weeks. You can use inflatable cushions for greater comfort - this way your buttocks won't come into direct contact with a hard surface.

  1. HOW LONG SHOULD I WEAR COMPRESSION UNDERWEAR?

The first month after surgery compression underwear should be worn around the clock, taking it off only for showering. The next two weeks are transitional. The underwear can be worn only half a day.

  1. HOW LONG DO LIPOFILLING RESULTS LAST?

The result stays permanently as long as you keep the weight off. Of course, if you get fat, this area will increase faster, because there are more fat cells there. If you lose weight, on the contrary, the buttocks will shrink slower for the same reason.

  1. WHAT DOES THE COST OF SURGERY DEPEND ON?

The cost of the surgery is influenced by the number of liposuction zones. To perform lipofilling of the buttocks you need to collect the right amount of fatty tissue. Thin patients do not have much fat, so the number of donor zones can be large. In this case, you need to take away the fat very carefully so as not to leave pits and bumps. This increases anesthesia time and, accordingly, the cost of the operation.
