Backgrounds: One goal of lipoplasty is to create a round and projected buttock contour. Despite multiple papers evaluating lipoinjection, controversies still remain. Methods: This report describes a series of patients who underwent liposuction, gluteal lipoinjection, and evaluation with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). From January 2003 to January 2004, the patients scheduled for contour surgery by the investigators were evaluated using MRI, photographic records, and gluteal circumference measurement 1 week before surgery, then 2 weeks and 3 months after the procedure. A statistical analysis was performed for 10 patients who received, on the average, a 350-ml injection of fat obtained during liposuction. Results: Gluteus muscle volume increased, reaching a higher level 2 weeks after the injection than the level 3 months afterward (p < 0.001). The gluteal circumference, modified 2 weeks after surgery by about 1 to 3 cm, came back to previous values 3 months after the procedure (p < 0.05), a phenomena interpreted as reabsorption and resolution of the postoperative edema. There is no correlation between the gluteus muscle volume obtained by MRI and the gluteal circumference (p > 0.05). Conclusions:The findings led to the conclusion that enhancement of the gluteal contour after fat injection results from survival of the injected tissue 3 months after the surgery, which was objectively evaluated by MRI as having a calculated reabsorption rate of 24% to 36%.

“…The study monitored xylocaine levels in the blood, arterial blood gases, bicarbonate, and EKG in our patients and also fat rejection or any alteration of the patients' metabolism as already described by Chajchir [5], Guerrerosantos [6,7], Lewis [9], Kenneth [34], Lillis [30], Klein [25], and others.…”

“…Different authors who pioneered studies in fat transplantation and the survival of that fat [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] have claimed positive results with fat injection for the improvement of body contour. However, other authors [12,13] claimed to have had negative results.…”

“…The fat grafting presents various advantages: 10 it is an autologous procedure without risk for rejection; the method of harvesting, though demanding precise execution, is simple and easily reproducible; 11 and it is a safe technique with few complications. [12][13][14][15] On the other hand, the extent of resorption of the grafted fat is rather unpredictable and difficult to anticipate. 16 Thereby, it is necessary to discuss with the patient the eventual necessity of multiple stages.…”

Localized and circumferential atrophies of the lower extremities have been difficult to treat with few simple autologous solutions available. The aim of this study was to analyze the efficacy of fat grafting in lower limb atrophies. There were 20 patients (17 females and 3 males) at an average age of 33 years. Twelve patients had localized and 8 patients circumferential atrophies of various etiologies: traumatic (60%), congenital (25%), and iatrogenic (15%). The average number of fat injections was 1.1 per patient (range 1-2) for localized atrophies and 2.2 per patient (range 1-3) for circumferential atrophies. The average follow-up period was 2 years. The average volume injected at each stage was 79 mL for localized atrophies and 137 mL for circumferential atrophies. In the cases of circumferential atrophies, an average augmentation of 1.9 cm (range 1-6 cm) of the limb perimeter per injection was achieved. The overall satisfaction of the patients was high. Autologous fat grafting is a reliable technique for lower limb atrophies.
