In this 6:45 minute video presentation we show the technique of autologous fat transfer for augmentation mammoplasty and gluteal reshaping in a patient. It starts with showing the marking of the breast, gluteal and abdominal area where the fat will be transferred. Afterwards dorsal liposuction takes place and decantation of the fat occurs in the canister. Then the fat is transferred to 60ml syringes where it is decanted for a second time and injected in the gluteal area with a total volume of approximately 300cc per side.
When autologous fat transfer to the gluteal area is finished, the patient is turned. Infiltration of the ventral abdominal area and liposuction is performed collecting and decanting the adipose tissue as explained. Before infiltration to the breast, fat is transferred from the 60ml syringes to 10ml syringes. Infiltration takes place using microcanulas (1.5 - 1.7mm in diameter) to inject the fat in a multilayered tunneling process into the subcutaneous and retroglandular areas of both breast. The total volume of fat transferred to each breast in this patient was approximately 300cc.
Afterwards, photos are shown comparing the preoperative and immediate postoperative results in the patient.
The last section of the video shows some preoperative and postoperative follow-up photos of some patients at 7, 14 and 36 months after the procedure.
