Brazilian butt surgery procedure that is so popular in the cosmetic surgery field and a great way to improve the volume and contour of your buttocks. Women planning for this surgery can undergo this procedure at an AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery practice in NYC under the supervision of a board-certified, experienced plastic surgeon.
One of the recent studies based out of Belgium has put forward a novel technique to large-volume gluteal augmentation. This new approach combines power-assisted liposculpting and fat harvesting around the buttock with autologous fat transfer. Surgeons specialized in the procedure perform the treatment using vibration and tunnelization. The study appeared in the November 2015 issue of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal.
The surgeons involved in the study evaluated 110 patients who underwent buttock augmentation. For these individuals, power-assisted liposuction was used to perform liposculpting and fat harvesting. The transfer of the fat to the butt area was done by simultaneous power-assisted vibration and tunnelization. The duration of the procedure varied with individual cases and ranged from 1 to 2 hours. The volume of fat removed through liposuction differed with individuals – 1400 to 5000 mL. Similar is the case for injection volumes that ranged from 300 to 900 mL per side for each session.
All these cases were monitored for an average of 20 months (range, 12 to 48 months). Here are the main findings of the study.
- A burning sensation was reported by 5 among the 110 patients
- Persistent lower-back swelling was reported by three of the total individuals
- Only one of these patients experienced a mild infection
- The observations and patient input obtained six months after the treatment showed that power-assisted gluteal augmentation with autologous fat is an efficient, safe and reproducible procedure
- The procedure produced an aesthetically pleasing gluteal contour.
Talking on the new approach, the study co-author pointed out that “Autologous fat grafting to the buttocks has become popular during the past decade because it is versatile and associated with a lower complication rate than gluteal implantation…This technique enhances tissue competency for large-volume fat grafting by decreasing the operative time without compromising the safety of the procedure.”
