Plastic surgery can offer several methods for correcting individual areas. Among them, one can note the augmentation of the buttocks with one’s own fat without the use of implants. This technology is called lipofilling and allows you to solve two problems at once. On the one hand, get rid of unwanted fat deposits, and on the other, give the buttocks a rounded shape and make them toned.

FAQ

Features of rehabilitation
After surgery, patients are usually discharged on the 2nd day. Minor pain can be easily relieved with painkillers. For better recovery, it is important to limit the load on the gluteal muscles for a couple of months by refusing to train. Sitting should also be avoided. Wearing corrective underwear is recommended for the entire rehabilitation period. Until the wounds heal, you should also avoid visiting swimming pools, baths and saunas; in the first two months, it is better to avoid direct exposure to sunlight on the operated area.
When will it be possible to see the final result of the operation?
Due to tissue swelling and hematomas, it is impossible to evaluate the result in the first month. But gradually the swelling subsides, and the first result can be observed three to four weeks after the operation. The duration of the late recovery period can last up to six months, after which the final effect can be assessed.

What tests need to be taken

In order to determine the patient’s health status, identify contraindications and prepare for lipofilling of the buttocks, the surgeon prescribes a number of tests that must be taken in advance. This list includes:

General blood and urine analysis.
Coagulogram.
Blood chemistry.
Test for HIV, hepatitis, syphilis.
ECG.
Fluorography.

If necessary, the doctor can supplement this list with other tests, as well as prescribe a consultation with a specialist.

How is lipofilling of the buttocks performed?

After consulting a plastic surgeon, passing the necessary tests and preparation, the stage of the operation itself begins. Enlargement of the buttocks with your own fat involves three mandatory steps:

First, the required volume of adipose tissue is taken from a pre-designated donor area using a special cannula. To do this, small punctures are made in the skin, after which no noticeable scars remain.
At the next stage, the fat is prepared for transplantation. Using a centrifuge, the tissue is cleaned of blood impurities and destroyed, non-viable cells.
Then, buttock augmentation is performed using your own fat. The surgeon again uses cannulas and makes small punctures in the skin.

After all manipulations, antiseptic treatment of wounds is performed, sterile bandages are applied, and, if necessary, compression garments are used.

Recommendations for patients during surgery: Body lipomodeling with buttock lipofilling

Recommendations for patients during surgery: Lipomodeling of the body with lipofilling of the buttocks (removal of adipose tissue with filling of the buttocks or breasts with fatty tissue) Abdominoplasty (removal of the skin-fat apron of the anterior abdominal wall) Lipomodeling with abdominoplasty (The operation can be performed in several stages, depending on the volume, each stage is paid separately)

These instructions must be read and followed carefully! In them you will find answers to the most common questions regarding pre- and post-operative preparation!

Before surgery:

Patients must undergo an examination (for a list of tests, see the appendix that was sent additionally). Test results may be valid for 14 days. It is necessary to do an ultrasound of the mammary glands on days 6-11 of the cycle, if after the ultrasound there are indications for mammography, it must be done IN ADDITION to the list of tests.
Consultation with specialists is mandatory for patients with chronic diseases, especially diseases of the cardiovascular system, respiratory diseases, including hypertension and asthma. These specialists must provide a conclusion stating that the operation is not contraindicated for you.
Patients with diabetes should carefully monitor their glucose levels before and after surgery. If necessary, consult a specialist about the regimen for taking medications the night before surgery and on the day of surgery.
If you are thought to be pregnant, the operation should be cancelled. Anastasia must be informed about pregnancy, and a confirmatory examination or hCG test must be sent.
It is mandatory to take multivitamins, especially vitamins A, C and trace elements Ca, Mg, Zn, in a daily dose of 1 month. before and after surgery. Optivumen are good vitamins, you can use them or any other multivitamins.
It is advisable to perform the operation in the first half of the menstrual cycle to reduce the risk of bleeding.
Avoid all nicotine-containing drugs 1 month before and after surgery, including cigarettes, cigars, tobacco and patches. Nicotine disrupts tissue circulation and has a negative effect on the outcome of surgery. Statistically, smoking people increase the risk of surgical complications, especially the development of infections, delayed tissue healing, and the quality of scar formation deteriorates. Patients with severe nicotine addiction are recommended to take medications that relieve nicotine addiction. It is also necessary to take the drug Wobenzym.
If you have an allergic reaction to medications or any other substances,
BE SURE TO TELL ALL MEDICAL STAFF BEFORE SURGERY.

Special Instructions

The first dressing is performed the next morning after surgery. Sterile dressings and drains will be placed over the incision area. The drains will be removed on the first day after the operation (it happens that the drains are left for 1-4 days), in some cases, for several days. ALL FUTURE DRESSINGS WILL NEED TO BE REGISTERED AT THE REGISTRATION RECEPTION. The doctor himself will tell you when to come next time, everything is individual.
After surgery, you can massage using gentle circular movements while avoiding the incision line for 2 weeks. Get a massage daily or see a massage therapist. This will help relieve pain, increase lymph circulation and nourish the skin.
After the operation, it is necessary to wear special supportive compression garments. Keep your underwear on for 4-6 weeks after surgery, except when you take a 4-5 minute shower. Proper underwear is a key point in the postoperative period. Specialized underwear increases the patient's comfort level, promotes faster recovery, positions tissues in the correct position and promotes long-term satisfactory results. A regular bra or any tight clothing should not be worn for three months after surgery until the tissue has fully recovered.

Compression garments should apply pressure at first, as severe swelling is observed in the early stages. The underwear has been selected correctly for you, be patient, the discomfort will go away soon. If the laundry rubs, you can place soft rag napkins in the friction zone.

The importance of wearing special compression garments:

Recovery – wearing compression garments during the postoperative period reduces swelling, improves blood circulation and helps remove stagnant fluid from the operated area, controls the inflammatory process.
Comfort – will help minimize discomfort and pain.
Compression garments prevent back and shoulder pain.

You can return to wearing regular underwear 4-6 weeks after surgery.

Until the restoration process is completely completed (six months to a year).

In some cases, numbness around the incisions can last up to several months after plastic surgery. In this case, patients do not feel any pain, even if dense and pressing tissues literally cut into their skin.

It is important to prevent pressure and rubbing on the scar area after surgery.

If irritation, pain, or redness occurs around the scars, patients should inform their surgeon immediately. Such moments are often a symptom of infection or other complications.

Even if the incisions have healed, they may still be irritated by the synthetic fabrics commonly used in most clothing, so for everyday wear it is best to choose clothing that is pressure-free and has tight elastics.

Caring for seams

Your primary dressing is carried out on the first day after the operation by the main and assisting surgeons, then for the first month you are observed by the assisting surgeon, to the Operating Surgeon - only if something is very bothering you and for 14 days after the operation MANDATORY.

Cold is applied for 20 minutes. at intervals of 40 minutes. 2-3 times a day. After 3 days, cold is applied, if possible, several times a day until the swelling decreases. Ice is placed on a napkin; never apply ice directly to the skin.
For the first two to three weeks, the seams are sealed with Micropore adhesive plaster. Then an ointment is applied (flamena, hydrocortisone ointment, imoferase). Then, within 3-4 months. A silicone-based adhesive plaster (Dermatix, Contractubex, Mederma) is glued to the seam area.
Oxygen therapy, if desired, is prescribed from the first day after surgery. It promotes rapid healing and relief of swelling.
Laser magnetic therapy is recommended from 2 days after surgery; it also promotes rapid healing and the removal of swelling. Electrophoresis with lidase, ronidase, collalysine or phonophoresis with 0.5% hydrocortisone emulsion.
The Vbeam Perfecta laser is also indicated for eliminating scar redness starting from 10-14 days.
PRP therapy starting from 14 days. accelerates healing, promotes proper scar formation, and eliminates the feeling of “suture tightness.”

Smoking is strictly prohibited for 3 weeks, preferably up to 1 month. Nicotine disrupts tissue circulation and has a negative effect on the outcome of surgery. Statistically, in people who smoke, the risk of surgical complications increases, especially the development of infections, delayed healing, and the quality of scar formation deteriorates.
Take all prescribed medications strictly, especially painkillers. Don't wait until your pain gets worse, as the pain can lead to increased blood pressure and subsequent bleeding. You can take ketorol, ketonal, OKI, nise.
Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for 1 year after surgery. Even minor exposure to sunlight can lead to irritation, pigmentation and increase the duration of swelling.
It is recommended to sleep on your back (with abdominoplasty) or on your stomach if you have undergone lipomodeling surgery with lipofilling of the buttocks for 1 month. You can turn on your side and sleep on your side 3 weeks after surgery.
Do not take medications containing aspirin [Advil, Motrin], diclofenac, naproxen, nasal drops, fish oil, parsley, garlic and vitamin E for 2 weeks. after operation. Many pain relievers and medications used for colds and sinusitis contain aspirin.

Activity

In the first week after surgery, sharply limit your activity. If possible, we recommend taking 10-14 days off.
You are allowed to walk with the help of an assistant for short distances on the first day after surgery, to prevent deep vein thrombosis, with a gradual increase in the distance in the following days. Move your legs as often as possible when lying down [essential to prevent deep vein thrombosis and prevent constipation]. Wear elastic stockings for 5 days after surgery.
Do deep breathing movements (breathing exercises) or use a spirometer every hour you are awake for 5 days. This is especially important within 24 hours after surgery. This will help straighten the lungs, prevent postoperative pneumonia and pulmonary atelectasis.
Avoid strenuous work, especially upper body exercises and sports, for 6-8 weeks. after operation. You cannot: vacuum cleaner, play tennis, run, lift weights, do exercises for the upper shoulder girdle, swim. You can't even lift a child!

Taking baths:

In the first days, it is recommended to rub down or take a light shower. At the same time, keep your back turned to the water, trying to keep the bandages completely dry. On the 3rd day after surgery, you can take a full shower. If the sterile strips become wet, do not remove them. You can dry them gently with a dry towel or use a warm hair dryer (not hot and on low power) to dry the sterile strips.

Meal:

After surgery, you definitely need to eat, as the body is weakened and requires nutrition! No fasting days!!! Even if you don’t want to eat, you still need to do it as much as you can, little by little!

Drinking alcohol and coffee is prohibited for 1 week. after surgery, as this increases blood pressure and bleeding.

To prevent nausea, you need to eat food 20 minutes before. before taking medications [painkillers, antibiotics].
If you experience vomiting or nausea, it is better to refrain from eating and taking medications until the symptoms stop. It is recommended to drink 50-100 ml of water. hourly until nausea stops. If nausea persists, take antiemetics [Dramamine] as vomiting may have adverse effects.
It is recommended to take vitamin C 1000 mg per day for 2 weeks. after operation. Vitamin C promotes collagen production and the resolution of bruises.
Eat foods rich in vitamin K [green leafy vegetables and salads, broccoli, seaweed]. Vitamin K promotes rapid resorption of bruises.
Include light soups, applesauce, juices, yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal, and jelly in your menu. Food should contain enough protein - the body needs it for speedy recovery. Reduce the amount of salt in your food so as not to increase post-operative swelling.
It is important to increase iron levels after surgery, since hemoglobin decreases after any operation. Eat white and red meat, liver, lots of greens, pomegranates, apples. Increasing hemoglobin levels will speed up healing.

If the suture area is swollen, red and bloody or any discharge appears.
Persistent nausea and vomiting.
Other concerns and questions.

Your surgery will be performed with the utmost safety and diligence to achieve the best possible results.

POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS:

We consider it our responsibility to inform you that with any surgical procedure there is a risk of undesirable results. Each patient has differences in skin structure, tissue structure, blood supply, as well as healing processes and response to anesthetic drugs. In this regard, it is impossible to give a 100% guarantee. The following complications have been published in the medical literature. They are listed here for your information. These consequences will also be discussed during the consultation. Our clinic uses only high-quality drugs, the most advanced technologies and equipment.

Accumulation of fluid in the liposuction area or tissue detachment. As a rule, this problem can be solved quickly and relatively painlessly by suctioning out the liquid with a syringe.
Reduced skin sensitivity, which in the vast majority of cases returns completely after 2-3 months.
The appearance of hematomas as a result of tissue suppuration. Typically, such an undesirable phenomenon occurs when the patient violates the doctor’s recommendations in the postoperative period. Treated with antibiotics and daily dressings.
Formation of keloid scars. This process directly depends on the individual characteristics of the tissues, therefore, after preliminary research, the plastic surgeon must warn the patient about the possibility of this phenomenon.

Any additional operations, if necessary, are paid by the patient for consumables.

Possible complications

The operation is low-traumatic and is performed without extensive incisions and blood loss. For these reasons, lipofilling of the buttocks rarely leads to the development of severe complications. After surgery, hematomas, tissue swelling, moderate pain, and slight loss of sensitivity may be observed. These conditions are temporary and do not require emergency medical attention.

In our clinic, located in Moscow, lipofilling of the buttocks can be performed in combination with other types of plastic surgery: abdominoplasty, blepharoplasty, correction of shoulders, legs, etc. Also in our clinic, simultaneous operations are performed: elimination of 2-5 pathologies requiring surgical treatment, during one anesthesia. Any combination is possible with us!

Rehabilitation after buttock augmentation using your own fat

In order to get the desired result and maintain it for a long time, it is necessary to take a responsible approach to the recovery period. It means refusing to visit the bathhouse, sauna, solarium, or swimming pool. Particular attention should be paid to lifestyle (give up bad habits, eat right, maintain physical activity). If, after enlarging the buttocks with your own fat, you need to wear compression garments, then the schedule for its use must be strictly followed. The list of recommendations is compiled by the doctor for each patient individually and must be strictly followed.

In addition, about half of all transplanted fat cells may not take root in the new location. Therefore, in some cases, the operation is performed in 2-3 stages.

The operation is performed by plastic surgeons who are proficient in modern methods and use professional equipment.

In addition to lipofilling, plastic surgery offers buttock augmentation using the traditional method - endoprosthetics. During surgery, implants of the desired shape and size are placed under the gluteus maximus muscle through incisions in the skin. The buttocks gain volume and beautiful contours, and the results last a lifetime.

Rehabilitation period

Immediately after lipomodeling of the buttocks, the patient is put on special shaping underwear and wears it during the day for several weeks. The patient is discharged the next day after surgery. In the first few days after surgery, you may experience a feeling of tension in the skin at the operation site due to postoperative swelling. For 2-3 days, moderate pain is felt in the area of the operation, which is calmed down by taking medications. The swelling subsides within a week. Within a week you can return to normal life and go to work, avoiding heavy loads.

Buttock fat grafting or implants?

Along with the advantages, endoprosthetics also has disadvantages. If the implant is chosen incorrectly, the figure will look unnatural. After the operation, a long rehabilitation period will be required, and scars may remain. The risk of rupture and rejection of implants is minimal, but it still exists.

Fat tissue transplantation is a safer method because it does not require incisions or implantation of a foreign body. In addition, it solves two problems at once: removing fat in problem areas and replenishing volume in other areas.

Indications

Women often decide to undergo butt enlargement surgery, although it can be performed on both sexes.
The manipulation is cosmetic in nature, helps to get rid of imperfections, gain psychological comfort and accept your body. Typically, correction is resorted to in the following cases:

congenital anatomical features (insufficient volume of soft tissue in the hips and buttocks);
consequences of hormonal imbalances with redistribution of subcutaneous deposits;
age-related deformation;
consequences of various injuries.

Despite the fairly wide list of indications, the most common reason for plastic surgery is the desire to improve parameters, the so-called beautification.
