Power-Assisted Gluteal Augmentation: A New Technique for Sculpting, Harvesting, and Transferring Fat

Gluteal augmentation with cryopreserved fat.

Gluteal augmentation with autologous fat is becoming a standard ancillary procedure for sculpting the buttock area. The high rate of resorption due to aggressive harvesting techniques or inadequate injection procedures often leads to repeated treatments. Currently, several techniques for storing fat by controlled freezing and thawing procedures can guarantee a high rate of cell viability, simil...

Abstract: Autologous Fat Transfer for Augmentation Mammoplasty and Gluteal Reshaping, a Video Presentation

RESULTS: From 2010–2015, 97 patients were identified who met our criteria, for a total of 194 mastectomies. The average age was 29 years (range 15–61), average BMI was 30 (range 20–54), and average specimen weight was 708 grams per breast (range 86–2702). The vast majority received full thickness nipple grafts (170/194). Eighty (82%) patients were on perioperative Testosterone. The average foll...

Power-Assisted Liposuction (P.A.L.) Fat Harvesting for Lipofilling: The Trap Device

DEAR EDITOR Coleman classically described four phases in fat grafting including harvesting, refinement, transfer and placement. The harvesting phase can be simplified by using the “trap device” instead of the conventional 10-cc Luer-Lock syringes. The “trap device” for harvesting fat by Power Assisted Liposuction and Medinorm tank is a convenient, wholly sterile, time saving method to provide f...
