Fig. 12.2 Pre-op and 3years post-op of a 39-year-old female with BMI 23 kg/m2, who underwent liposuction (4L lipoaspirate) and injection of 400cc of fat in each buttock. In this patient, the wid­est part of her hips was too high, so we sculpted her hips grafting 400cc each side to turn into a hourglass gure with a rounder buttocks
landmarks. When the amount of fat required to achieve the desired outcomes is greater than the amount of fat available on the back, we place the patient supine to harvest some fat from the abdomen and the thighs.
12.2.4 Anesthetic Technique
We perform gluteal fat augmentation under epidural anesthesia due to its longer postoperative analgesia and proven benecial effect in preventing thromboembolic events [9]. When the procedure is associated with an abdominoplasty or breast sur­gery where more than one intraoperative change of position is necessary, we use general anesthesia with an epidural block to avoid acute hypoxic cardiac arrest, which may occur during decubitus changes with a spinal block [10].

Fig. 12.3 Pre-op and 1year post-op of a 32-year-old female with BMI 23.2 kg/m2, who underwent liposuction (4.0L lipoaspirate) and injection of 480cc of fat in each buttock. To achieve an hour­glass shape, we had to emphasize saddlebags and thigh roots area liposuction and, target the fat graft to augment buttock’s upper part projection. Note that thigh’s liposuction didn’t turn the but­tock ptotic since and anatomically independent areas, separated by the infragluteal crease

12.3 Intraoperative Period
12.3.1 Fat Harvesting
12.3.1.1 Inltration
Inltration is performed with the same cannulas used for liposuction with a solution of normal saline and epinephrine at 1:500,000 according to the wet technique. We avoid using local anesthetics in the solution as there have been reports of decreased adipocyte viability [11, 12] and since the patient already has a neural block, local anesthetics are not necessary.

12.3.1.2 Donor Sites
We minimize the ports of entry for the cannulas as much as possible. In the back, we use one port in the center of the bra line and one at the apex of the intergluteal cleft. The fat is harvested from the whole back in a fan-shape fashion, crisscrossing the liposuction trajectory from the upper and lower cannula ports.
We prefer liposuctioning the deep fatty layer and leaving the most supercial layer of fat intact to avoid supercial irregularities that are difcult to correct later.
We use one port in each infragluteal fold and aspirate fat from the saddlebags in a deep plane, leaving an intact supercial layer of fat, in a continuous line starting at the lateral aspect of the knees to avoid any contour irregularities. From these same ports, the posterior inner thighs and the sub-gluteal fat is harvested as needed.
12.3.1.3 Equipment Used
An electrical vacuum-pump set at approximately 400mmHg is connected by a exible silicone tube to a sterile glass canister covered with a rubber cap that will store the lipoaspirate. A second exible silicone tube connects the canister to the cannula. Cannulas of 4- and 5-mm diameter are used to harvest fat as some studies have shown greater adipocyte viability when larger diameter cannulas are used [13,
14]. To avoid clots within the lumen of the cannula, we use blunt cannulas with
three holes.
12.3.1.4 Fat Processing
The lipoaspirate is decanted in a closed circuit. We open the canister only when ready for fat grafting. At this point the supernatant fat is collected and injected.
12.3.1.5 Fat Injection
With the patient in prone and at position, fat is injected in the supercial fatty layer in order to give contour and shape to the gluteal region, beginning laterally in mul­tiple planes, delivering small amounts of fat at each pass of a single-hole, 3.5-mm cannula attached to a Toomey tip 60cc syringe. After the most lateral part is lled, we proceed medially. If there is hypoplasia at the medial buttock area, fat is injected near the intergluteal cleft in a centrifugal mode, always in the subcutaneous plane using the intergluteal incision site. Fat is then injected into the deep fatty layer toward the lateral aspect of the gluteal muscles to increase projection, always keep­ing the cannula parallel to the sacral plane with a maximal angle of 30° to avoid injecting inside the muscles. Approximately 20–30% of the fat is grafted in the deep subcutaneous plane. Cannulas with an internal diameter of 3 mm are preferred

based on the classic theory of lipograft survival [15] or the more recent substitution theory [16], which states that fat threads should be at most 1.5-mm radius to achieve long-term retention rates. Toledo published his 30-year experience showing that injecting 500 ccs of fat in each buttock is sufcient to achieve good results while keeping the incidence of complications low [17]. We also avoid injecting more than 500 ccs of fat in each buttock. If the patient needs or desires more volume, a second procedure can be done [18].
193
12.4 Postoperative Period
We routinely administer an intravenous dose of a rst-generation cephalosporin at anesthetic induction and prescribe the same orally for 7days in the postoperative period. Analgesics and multivitamins are also prescribed.
Following the deep venous thrombosis (DVT) risk factor assessment [19], we administer a standard dose of low molecular weight heparin subcutaneously daily for 7days after the procedure [20]. Patients also remain with intermittent pneumatic compressive devices for 12h [21]. They are encouraged to ambulate as soon as pos­sible and drink lots of liquids during the rst week.
12.4.1 Garments, Compression Socks, Massage
Compression socks and garments are used immediately post-op and continued for 1month and 2months, respectively. The garments compress the liposuctioned areas but also stabilize the grafted areas. There is evidence that pressures as high as 6atm. does not affect adipocytes viability [22]. Also, the garment promotes a graft stabili­zation effect.
Massages over the grafted areas are avoided during the rst 6weeks because it can vigorously rupture the grafts’ ongoing vascular reconnection process. Massages over liposuctioned areas are allowed and patients often feel much comfort.
12.4.2 Recommendations andRestrictions
Starting in the recovery room, patients rest over their buttocks. Pereira and Radwanski [23] showed in 1996 that, clinically, anterior body procedures can be associated while letting the patient lie over their buttocks without jeopardizing the grafted areas. Most of our buttock augmentations are performed concomitantly with abdominoplasty and breast surgery, and we observed that the supine position does not jeopardize the nal outcomes of the procedure [24].

12.5 Complications
Our patients had a mean age of 34years, a mean BMI of 24 kg/m2, and the mean volume of fat injected per buttock was 490cc. Minor complications included seroma in the sacral region and major complications included two cases of DVT conrmed by CT angiogram (symptoms in the cases of DVT appeared at 7 and 9days postop­erative), and occasional symptomatic hypovolemia requiring prolonged intravenous hydration. We had one case of infection in the patient who we injected the highest volume of fat (800cc on each side) treated with intravenous antibiotic and healed well with no aesthetic sequelae. There were no death cases [25].
12.6 Discussion
By maintaining an average of almost 500cc of fat grafted in each buttock allowed us to achieve patient’s satisfaction [24] while avoiding major complications and buttocks ptosis complaints in long-term patients.
Except for the case where we injected over our usual volume range, we have never had fat necrosis, formation of oil cysts, infection, which would be expected according other casuistics [26].
By explaining preoperatively to the patient that a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7 and the hourglass shape are classic beauty standards, the expectations are aligned and the concepts that curve and proportion are more important for female beauty than but­tocks volume itself.
Since the unquestionable link made by Cardenas etal. between intramuscular fat graft and mortality due to fat embolism, we changed our technique in order to use only the subcutaneous plane for fat graft. But, by the aesthetic point of view, the fat grafted and maintained invivo within gluteal muscles mass (as shown by several published radiologic studies) allowed the effect of a more athletic buttock due to a muscle hypertrophy simulation if compared with the use of only the subcutaneous plane adopted for safety reason nowadays.
12.7 Conclusion
Gluteal augmentation with fat graft will continue to grow as long we can deliver great results with maximal safety and trust from our patients.
Surgical interventions lead to permanent anatomic alterations that may be very difcult to reverse, if not impossible. Therefore, we plastic surgeons have the responsibility of ltering patients’ requests within the limits of common sense and stable aesthetic standards, foreseeing the long-term results of our interventions.

Buttock fat graft is a procedure that is being made for more than 30years with extensive accumulated experience. The best for our patients is that we humbly learn from previous surgeons, keep investigating ways for improving the technique, and recognize the need to work as a group for the advancement of plastic surgery.

Preferred Surgical Techniques inFat Transplant totheGluteal Region
AlexanderAslani andMiguelG.Bravo
Gluteal fat augmentation has attracted a considerable demand in the past several years. Fat grafting is a predictable and practical approach to modify the gluteal area. Nevertheless, this procedure has many potential risks. It is imperative to avoid glu­teal vessel damage, which can lead to fat embolism and other severe complications. Since many people are increasingly choosing to undertake fat grafting procedures, more plastic surgeons are attracted to this eld, improving the surgical techniques to achieve better outcomes. The greater amount of surgeons embarking on this, however, will also increase the risk of poor technique and fatal outcomes.
If the surgeon uses the right technique and the patient complies with periopera­tive protocols, gluteal fat augmentation can be safe, effective, and consistent in the outcome. This chapter aims to explore the different techniques used in fat transplant to the gluteal region.
No liposuction technique is perfect and universally superior to all others.
We favor a variation of power-assisted liposuction, namely, the SAFE-technique (fat Separation, fat Aspiration and Fat Equalization) approach used as described by Wall Jr and Lee [1]. To our opinion, it offers the best risk-benet ratio, and impor­tantly it achieves a signicant amount of fat separation without the use of any energy-based device, which is a notorious source of problems. SAFE liposuction is also highly compatible with EVL (expansion vibration lipolling) as described by Del Vecchio. A closed suction/inltration system saves valuable surgery time. We prefer to abstain from any extensive manipulation of the harvested fat apart from decantation.

The next step involves transferring the fat to the gluteal area with concurrent power-aided tunnelization and vibration and continuous owstream fat-inltration at 200–300mL/min. Learning curve and key to success here is to nd the perfect balance between tissue separation and inltration. Excessive separation can lead to fat blow-out or fat cysts and too little fails to sufciently separate the recipient bed (Fig.13.1).
Power-assisted gluteal augmentation best suits patients with at buttocks and moderate or mild excess fat. This method improves tissue competency for transfer­ring large volumes of fat reducing the duration of the surgery and therefore increas­ing patient safety.
Gluteal augmentation entails a synergistic approach that enables the removal of excess fat from regions around the buttocks and transplanting the same to regions with insufcient fat. The resulting buttocks’ frame depends on the sculpting of the lateral anks, the abdomen and upper back in order to achieve a narrow waistline. Even when some of the fat injected into the gluteal area is reabsorbed after some time, sculpting of the areas surrounding the buttocks provides attractive gluteal appearance in the long term [2].
Expansion vibration lipolling is our preferred surgical technique to transfer the fat to the gluteal region. Del Vecchio and Wall described in [3] how expansion vibration lipolling prepares the recipient site by separating the tissue creating space for the grafts. It combines rapid oscillations at 500/min angled cannulas, fast ow rates, and bigger diameters, which result in more thorough and extensive dis­tribution of the fat in the recipient area. The use of an exploding-tip cannula (4mm) allows transfer of fat into the expanded area concurrently while expanding the sub­cutaneous tissue. Unlike in classic syringe-lipolling where the fat might be exces­sive in some areas creating bumps or skin blow-outs [4, 5] oscillations allow the surgeon to distribute fat lobules homogeneously. The main overall advantage is con­trol. The tip of a syringe is prone to bending, even without Luer-Lock connection, and bending means loss of palpatory control (Fig.13.2).

13.1 Operative Technique
We typically start a body feminization procedure with 360° liposuction in a supine position. Incisions are typically placed in the “bikini line” and the umbilicus. This is followed by liposuction in the lateral decubitus, and nally in the prone position. Whether we use four different positions or just prone/supine is case-dependent, the main parameter for our decision making is the pelvic bone. If the patient has a high and square pelvic bone shape, the lateral decubitus may be useful to avoid skeleton­izing the iliac crest (Fig.13.3).
For tumescent inltration and separation we use 4 or 5mm exploding tip can­nulas at 5000 oscillations/min. We use full aspiration pressure of approximately 450mmHg for fat harvest and have not found this to be in any way detrimental to fat graft survival. The fat graft is prepared employing decantation in a 3000 or 5000cc canister. Importantly, the canister is connected with a rigid tube to a vibrat­ing handpiece armed with a 4mm slim cage basket cannula. For inltration, we bring the patient’s hips into approximately 30° of exion. We favour fat inltration from three key incisions per side: (1) from the center point of the infragluteal fold, (2) from the apex of the gluteal cleft, and (3) from slightly below the level of the
