General most often or local anesthesia assisted by tranquilizers for small liposuctions.

No hospitalization is necessary, the injection can be done in the office under perfect aseptic conditions.

Local in the office or operating room if the Hyacorp injection is combined with another surgical procedure desired by the patient.

Rare complications have been described such as pulmonary fat embolism. This is a passage of a small amount of fat back into the bloodstream (to the vessels of the lung). This risk of the fat passing into the blood vessels (deep veins of the buttocks) is all the more important as the fat is injected deeply and in particular into the gluteus maximus muscle. Injecting fat into the gluteus maximus muscle used to be advisable in the past to allow a good rate of absorption of the injected fat, but this type of complication has proved too dangerous. Thus, at present, fat is injected ONLY into the existing fatty tissue of the buttock, i.e. more superficially while remaining in a strict subcutaneous position. Thus, before performing buttock lipofilling (Brazilian Butt Lift, BBL), you should make sure that the surgeon who will take care of you is fully competent and trained in this type of technique. Dr. Gasnier and Dr. Dumas practice in Nice and Beausoleil (behind the Monaco train station). They regularly take part in congresses on this theme in France and abroad and are perfectly trained in this type of surgical procedure.

Q: Duration of the operation

30 min to 1 hour. This intervention can be performed at any age.

Q: Duration of hospitalization

Ambulatory, with discharge from the clinic on the day of the operation.

Q: Follow-up of the intervention

Little pain Bruises (blue) and slight swelling possible Rapid resumption of social activities J1, J2 Wearing a restraint garment 1 month

Q: What are the consequences ?

Little pain (mainly related to back liposuction). Bruising and swelling for a few weeks. The result will be judged at 6 months, after the time of resorption of the oedema and the injected fat (the resorption of the fat volume is about 30%). The resumption of social activities is rapid: 7 to 10 days. A support garment (panty) specially designed for buttock lipofilling (BBL) is worn for 4 to 6 weeks.
