Lipofilling of the buttocks is a unique technique for correcting body contours, which involves taking the patient’s own fat resources, purifying lipid material from the blood by centrifugation and its subsequent transplantation into areas with an observed volume deficit.
The technique makes it possible to simultaneously solve two diametrically opposed problems: to eliminate a small amount of adipose tissue in those areas of the body where it is observed in excess and to fill the missing volumes of the buttocks without implants.
Lipofilling is a modern and safe method of solving aesthetic problems, which makes it possible to do in the shortest possible time what is sometimes impossible to achieve with the help of several years of sports activities. Vardan Robertovich recommends modeling the buttocks using fat tissue transplantation if the patient lacks regular physical activity, has a sedentary lifestyle and an unhealthy diet and has difficulty maintaining an attractive buttock shape. With age, the condition of the tissues deteriorates, and natural elasticity and firmness are lost. At the same time, some patients experience a lack of volume, due to which the buttocks appear flat, which also affects the appearance of the entire figure as a whole.
Indications for lipofilling of the buttocks
The procedure is recommended for the following indications:
- unaesthetic shape of the buttocks, which I would like to correct without installing endoprostheses;
- insufficient volume in the buttocks area;
- ptosis of buttock tissue associated with a sedentary lifestyle or age-related changes;
- congenital asymmetry;
- loss of firmness and elasticity of the tissues of the buttocks;
How is lipofilling performed?
First of all, before lipofilling, the patient must undergo all mandatory types of medical examination.
At the preparatory stage, the plastic surgeon examines and analyzes the features of body proportions, the ratio of parameters, the length of the legs, and the features of the tissues of the buttocks. An individual approach to the patient will provide the opportunity to obtain the desired and most natural result. Fat grafting can be performed under general or local anesthesia. During the procedure, adipose tissue is collected using cannulas or thin needles from those areas where they are observed in excess. Usually they are taken from various parts of the back, abdomen, thighs, and legs. This material does not cause rejection from the body, since for natural reasons it perceives it as its “native” resource. Cases of complications such as hematomas, the formation of irregularities, and the development of inflammatory processes are extremely rare.
After the procedure, the buttocks acquire beautiful shape and volume, the waist, hips and legs become visually slimmer and more graceful.
The resulting material undergoes a special purification treatment to remove blood impurities. After this, fat cells are injected into problem areas of the buttocks through tiny micro-incisions 2-5 mm long in the folds or under the buttocks in the intermuscular area. This technique makes it possible to improve contours and fill missing volumes for a long time.
The result of lipofilling of the buttocks
- A new beautiful shape of the buttocks that perfectly matches all body proportions.
- A noticeable increase in the volume of the buttocks and a tightening effect.
- Smooth proportional body contours.
- Excess fat tissue in problem areas is eliminated.
- The result of lipofilling lasts for a long time.
To maintain the results obtained, you must remember a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Vardan Robertovich performs lipofilling of the buttocks without classical incisions, through small punctures using the PAL LipoSculptor vibration liposuction device - one of the most modern and effective technologies in plastic surgery.
Patients' expectations are maximally satisfied due to faster rehabilitation and the absence of visible traces of the operation.
Rehabilitation after lipofilling of the buttocks
- Discharge on the day of surgery or the next day.
- No patches or stickers in the puncture area
- Water procedures are acceptable immediately after surgery.
- In the first days, swelling may be observed, which disappears within 7-10 days.
- Small bruises appear at the sites where fat tissue is collected, but they will go away on their own in the near future.
- Wearing compression garments – 2-3 weeks.
- The final engraftment of the transplanted tissues will occur within 5–7 months after the operation.
You should remember some simple restrictions during the recovery period: avoid physical activity and sports for 3 weeks, temporarily do not visit the bathhouse, sauna, or swimming pool. It is also recommended to avoid drinking alcohol and energy drinks in the first days after the procedure.
If necessary, lipofilling can always be repeated to maintain or improve the result.
Contraindications to lipofilling of the buttocks
If there are the following contraindications, lipofilling of the buttocks is not performed:
- blood clotting disorder;
- oncological diseases;
- infectious diseases and inflammatory processes in the body.
- pregnancy and lactation;
- cardiovascular diseases;
- diabetes;
More complete information about lipofilling of the buttocks and its cost can be obtained from the administrator.
Preparation for surgery (tests)
Before deciding on lipofilling, you need to conduct a comprehensive examination of the patient, which includes the following tests:
- general analysis of urine and blood;
- blood test to study the biochemical composition;
- analysis for the presence of antibodies to hepatitis;
- fluorography;
- ECG;
- analysis that determines blood clotting;
- ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland;
- examination of the intestine for the bacterial environment.
After receiving the test results, you need to consult with specialists such as:
- endocrinologist;
- anesthetist;
- cardiologist.
30 days before lipofilling, the patient must give up alcoholic beverages, smoking, drugs, as well as drugs that affect blood clotting.
All precautions are necessary for the outcome of the operation to be successful. Violation of the recommendations will lead to tissue rejection or complications after the procedure.
How is the operation performed?
Operation stages:
- The doctor applies markings to the area to be operated on. After this, anesthesia is performed.
- Usually, VASER liposuction is performed before lipofilling. The procedure is carried out by inserting special cannulas under the adipose tissue. Usually taken from the area of the back, abdomen and buttocks. This ensures high cell survival.
- Then the fatty tissue is purified in a centrifuge. This procedure allows you to clear the fat mass from blood clots and lymph fluid.
- Afterwards, the donor material is distributed into syringes.
- The last stage is the distribution of implants across the buttocks. It is carried out with syringes and cannulas that move under the skin. Thanks to this technique, it is possible to avoid numerous punctures.
- At the end of lipofilling, the skin is treated with an antiseptic and covered with a plaster or an antiseptic bandage.
The result of lipofilling of the buttocks
With the help of lipofilling, you can solve a large number of problems:
- enlarge the buttocks, correct the shape, remove asymmetry
- correct the results of gluteoplasty
- simulate an hourglass figure
- visually slightly lift the sagging buttocks
- correct atrophic scars.
The result of the operation is assessed after 4-6 months. During this time, it becomes clear which part of the transplanted cells remained and which died off (these cells are simply naturally excreted by the body). The established cells remain in the new place forever; they are now a natural part of the body. The size of your buttocks can change as a result of significant weight loss, so it is best to first lose the weight you want before planning surgery.
Lipofilling is also performed to enlarge the breasts, cheekbones, lips and to rejuvenate the entire face as a whole.
Rehabilitation
The recovery period is very important for the engraftment of adipose tissue and the preservation of the patient’s health. The recovery period includes the following stages:
- Staying in a hospital under the supervision of a doctor. This usually takes 3-4 days depending on the patient's condition. Doctor's supervision will help to avoid complications.
- For the first 4 days after lipofilling, the patient should be in a supine position, but not on his back. The load on the buttocks should be minimal, since bruises and swelling appear in this area after surgery, which leads to pain.
- Partial recovery occurs in 10-14 days. During this period, the patient feels pain, weakness and discomfort - this is normal.
- After a month, the patient can see the result of lipofilling.
It is impossible to indicate the exact period of rehabilitation; everything happens individually and depends on several factors. In general, the body recovers completely within two months. During this period, the patient should follow the following recommendations:
- take antibiotics prescribed by your doctor (for 7 days);
- regularly come for consultations with the surgeon;
- eat balanced and healthy;
- sleep only on your stomach;
- make compresses to help relieve swelling.
Important!
Wearing compression garments is recommended throughout the entire rehabilitation period. The underwear is made of breathable natural material, due to which it has a massage effect and does not allow the donor material to move. Wearing compression garments helps reduce pain and bruising. In the first 14 days, underwear is worn both at night and during the day. After two weeks, you can only wear it during the daytime.

During the recovery period, the patient is prohibited from:
- lift weights and actively engage in sports (light exercise will not hurt, the main thing is not to strain your buttocks) (2 weeks);
- drive a car (10 days);
- wear high heels (30 days);
- drink alcohol and energy drinks, smoke (month);
- go to the sauna and bathhouse, go to beaches and swimming pools (14 days);
- swim (14 days);
- be sexually active (14 days);
- carry out cosmetic procedures in the surgical area.
All warnings and prohibitions are aimed at preventing the appearance of edema, which can lead to hematomas and rejection of the material.
What does surgery help solve?
Filling with fat cells allows you to correct various areas, for example:
- breast,
- buttocks,
- shins,
- cheekbones,
- lips,
- nasolabial fold.
These are not all the areas that can be addressed by this plastic surgery. This correction solves various problems. For example, adipose tissue helps to enlarge the breasts by 1-1.5 sizes, add volume to the buttocks, lips or other areas that need enlargement.
The operation will also help get rid of other shortcomings - for example, remove pronounced asymmetry. In the facial area, adipose tissue is used to correct contours and eliminate some aesthetic defects - for example, noticeable nasolabial folds.
Correction using your own fat tissue is safe and effective.
Advantages and disadvantages of lipofilling
The buttock correction procedure has the following advantages:
- The risk of implant rejection is minimal, unlike synthetic material. Cases of necrosis and allergic reactions are also extremely rarely recorded.
- Hips and buttocks after surgery have a natural appearance. If artificial material is implanted into the body, the transition from it to soft tissues will be noticeable even with the naked eye. This effect is not observed with lipofilling. The figure after the intervention looks proportional and attractive.
- The level of trauma and pain is reduced, the body recovers faster. This is explained by the fact that material native to the body is transplanted.
- Lipofilling is combined with VASER liposuction, due to which fat is pumped out from problem areas.
- Scars after the procedure are absent or barely noticeable. To carry out the procedure, two punctures will be enough (one to collect fat, the other to inject it).
- The effect after lipofilling is equal to a full-fledged operation.
- High level of safety of the technique and relatively quick recovery without severe pain.
The procedure also has some disadvantages:
- Strong buttock enlargement cannot be achieved if the patient does not have enough excess fat tissue (a minimum of 1.5 liters is needed).
- To obtain a normal volume, 1-2.5 liters of tissue are implanted into the buttocks, and it needs to be pumped out twice as much.
- Sometimes 2-3 procedures are performed to achieve the desired result, since usually 40-70% of adipose tissue takes root.
- It is difficult to predict the final result, since it is unknown which part of the cells will resolve.
REFERENCE! The price for lipofilling is higher than for conventional implantation. This is explained by the need to carry out two procedures at once (liposuction and fat transfer).
Advantages of the technique
Aesthetic medicine offers two ways to enlarge the buttocks: gluteoplasty (installation of implants) and lipofilling.
The difference between lipofilling:
- 100% tissue biocompatibility, since the patient’s own material is used;
- comprehensive transformation of body contours, local correction of areas with excess adipose tissue, lipomodeling of all problem areas;
- priority is naturalness. It is easier to achieve natural volume and a smooth transition with the help of a fat emulsion; the shape is modeled more flexibly;
- easier rehabilitation period. Even taking into account the sampling of adipose tissue, rehabilitation after lipofilling of the buttocks is easier and faster than after gluteoplasty.
Possible complications after lipofilling
The operation is considered safe, but in rare cases the following complications are observed:
- severe swelling of soft tissues;
- long-term pain syndrome;
- point hematomas;
- increased skin sensitivity;
- development of inflammation;
- the appearance of pigmentation;
- flabbiness;
- formation of dense lumps or knots of fat;
- infection.
REFERENCE! To avoid this, it is recommended to approach the choice of clinic and doctor responsibly. Before deciding on the procedure, it is better to read the real reviews and qualifications of the doctor.

Skin care after lipofilling
After lipofilling, the skin on the buttocks becomes smooth and elastic. But this effect must be maintained with special care:
- During the recovery period, use Traumeel cream (or its analogues), it promotes wound healing, relieves pain, and also prevents scarring.
- Gel "Lioton" (can also be replaced with analogues) relieves swelling and inflammation, accelerates healing.
- The skin needs to be moisturized after surgery. Panthenol is perfect for this. It not only moisturizes, but also reduces sensitivity and relieves redness.
- After the procedure, you need to regularly carry out soft peelings, as well as moisturize the skin with oils and fatty creams.
