Book Chapter Description

Liposuction is one of the most commonly used techniques for improving gluteal contour and can be utilized alone or in conjunction with many other procedures such as fat grafting, implants, and gluteal lifts. When combined with fat grafting, liposuction provides two major functions, modeling of the gluteal contour through the removal of fat from undesirable locations and providing volume in regions that are lacking. Oftentimes, liposuction is treated as an addendum to gluteal fat grafting, serving as simply a means for harvesting fat. This oversight minimizes the fact that liposuction remains a surgical procedure with inherent risks. Moreover, as fat grafting is by definition a combined procedure, it generates significant surgical trauma and triggers an intense endocrine-metabolic response. Therefore, rigorous clinical support is highly recommended in order for this procedure to be carried out safely. In this chapter, we will discuss the most up-to-date and relevant preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative aspects of liposuction that should be considered by all surgeons in order to ensure a safe and successful procedure.
