Large-volume fat grafting offers a safe and effective alternative to silicone implants for gluteal augmentation, achieving high patient satisfaction and durable results with minimal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Body Contouring

Background:

  • Silicone implants are the standard for gluteal augmentation.
  • Autologous fat grafting (lipoinjection) is an emerging alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of large-volume lipoinjection for gluteal augmentation.
  • To assess patient satisfaction and complications in a series of 96 patients.

Main Methods:

  • Wet-technique lipoplasty was used to harvest autologous fat.
  • Fat was injected into the gluteal region until desired contour or tissue tension was reached.
  • Patients received 300-500 mL of fat on average.

Main Results:

  • All patients achieved a durable increase in gluteal volume.

  • 98% of patients were satisfied with the aesthetic results.
  • Complications were minor, including paresthesias and asymmetries; one case of septic shock occurred.

    • Conclusions:

    • Large-volume lipoinjection is a viable alternative to silicone implants for gluteal augmentation.
    • It provides greater volume increase and avoids risks associated with implants.
    • This technique eliminates the need for follow-up surgery related to implant issues.
