About #lipoenxertia in the gluteal region: why I do not perform muscular fat grafting in this area?
Anyone who is my patient or follower knows I really like sculpting the gluteal region with liposuction and fat grafting. However, I only work in the subcutaneous plane. Aesthetically, muscular grafting could be very interesting, as it gives the appearance of a hypertrophied muscle itself — but muscles have large, thick vessels, and the risk of fat embolism is higher even in experienced hands with correct technique.
Intraoperative ultrasound can reduce these risks, but this is not yet certain in its degree of protection, so my choice is not to perform this technique, at least for now.
And you, do you have more questions about gluteal reshaping or safety in plastic surgery? Leave them in the comments and share this video with your friends.
