“…To obtain the patients fat for grafting, liposuction is used and can be tumescent. Tumescent liposuction is a variant of liposuction and involves infiltration of a warmed saline solution dilute with epinephrine, with or without lidocaine, within the targeted fat aspirate region using a liposuction cannula . The fat aspirate obtained from liposuction is harvested and centrifuged in a closed, clean circuit for minimal mechanical damage and maximum viability of adipocytes.…”

Cosmetic procedures are common and utilize many techniques to obtain aesthetically good outcomes for patient satisfaction with acceptable safety standards. Cosmetic procedures that involve the gluteal region are becoming increasingly popular as various procedures can target the gluteal region such as liposuction, tumescent liposuction, cosmetic filler injections, autologous fat transfer, depot drug delivery, and implants. Complications of cosmetic gluteal procedures can be localized or systemic with systemic complications being responsible for most deaths. These reported systemic complications include sepsis, thromboembolism, fat embolism with or without fat embolism syndrome, macroscopic fat embolism, anesthesia-related and blood volume abnormalities. We herein report 10 deaths due to elective gluteal cosmetic procedures. Autologous fat transfer (fat grafting, lipoinjection) following liposuction resulted in 8 of 10 fatal outcomes of the gluteal aesthetic procedures. A comprehensive discussion of gluteal anatomy, gluteal contouring procedures, and the approach to such cases is presented along with the autopsy findings of the reported cases.

“…12,13 Because patients often undergo general anesthesia, lidocaine subcutaneous anesthesia seems unnecessary because lidocaine could compromise SVF and ASC survival in the lipoaspirate. 18,26,27 For example, in our previous study, 18 we have reported that lidocaine has significant and a negative impact on ASC survival in the lipoaspirate that is used for fat grafting.…”

“…Although not technically minimally invasive, tumescent liposuction is another well‐established procedure for the primary management of localized adiposity in nonobese patients. This surgical “sculpting” in the nonobese population remains the gold standard for subcutaneous lipoplasty, given the ability of microcannulas to rapidly avulse smaller volume fatty deposits from precise areas with nominal risk to underlying structures or overlying skin . Liposuction in the nonobese population is associated with rapid recovery, excellent cosmetic results, and minimal postoperative morbidity .…”

A large and growing population of patients currently seeks minimally invasive therapeutic options for the aesthetic treatment of localized, central abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). We sought to evaluate the ideal population for aesthetic treatment of central abdominal SAT, highlight the existing disparities between SAT in obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 30; BMI) and nonobese (BMI < 30) patients, and review the available FDA-cleared, minimally invasive treatment options for central abdominal adiposity. The cosmetic issue of localized, central (periumbilical) abdominal adiposity in nonobese individuals is quite distinct from abdominal bulging secondary to obesity. Given the recognized clinical and physiologic differences between obese and nonobese counterparts, the exclusion of obese patients from clinical study by currently available FDA-cleared devices targeting abdominal fat, and the status of obesity as a chronic, systemic disease requiring medical, surgical, and/or lifestyle-altering therapies, minimally invasive therapeutic options for aesthetic reductions in central abdominal SAT must be limited to the nonobese population.
