Correction of lipodystrophies (skin dimples and depressions) in the buttock area

Correction of lipodystrophies (skin dimples and depressions) in the buttock area

Lipodystrophy is a condition associated with a lack of subcutaneous tissue and adipose tissue.

Correction of lipodystrophies (skin dimples and depressions) in the buttock area

Lipodystrophy occurs after injections of various drugs (especially when the injection is not made deep into the muscle, but into the fatty tissue), removal of neoplasms or as a result of severe weight loss. There are congenital (uneven distribution of fat under the skin) and acquired lipodystrophy. A plastic surgeon can help remove dimples on the skin of the buttocks.

Lipodystrophy after injection

Insulin lipodystrophy appears as dimples or bumps on the buttocks where the injection is usually given. Previously, lipodystrophy was often observed in diabetes, but modern high-quality insulins, as practice shows, extremely rarely lead to its occurrence. However, if a person injects any drug into the same place not deep enough, a seal may form. In this case, you should inform your doctor about this.

Indications and contraindications for correction of lipodystrophy of the lower quadrant in the left buttock

The main indication for plastic surgery is the presence of dimples or depressions on the buttocks, which the patient wants to get rid of. This is a purely aesthetic defect that does not lead to health problems.

Contraindications to lipofilling in the area of ​​lipodystrophy of the left buttock include acute infectious diseases or exacerbation of chronic diseases (for example, decompensated diabetes mellitus), AIDS, hepatitis.

The result of lipodystrophy correction

The result of lipodystrophy correction is smooth buttocks without depressions and seals. Since not all the fat is absorbed (20–30% is absorbed, and this is normal), the surgeon injects more than necessary. At the same time, there are no scars or scars left, because the length of the incisions does not exceed four millimeters. The final result after fat absorption is visible six months after the operation, and if necessary, lipofilling is performed again.

What will happen if lipodystrophy is not corrected?

If lipodystrophy is not corrected, the dimple on the buttock will remain for life. Before getting rid of lipodystrophy in diabetes, the patient must be put into remission.

Popular Questions

Can I get rid of dimples under the skin without surgery?

An alternative to lipofilling for lipodystrophy (atrophy of subcutaneous tissue) is to fill the cavity with hyaluronic acid. But this method has its drawbacks: firstly, hyaluronic acid is absorbed even more than its own fat, and secondly, it attracts fluid.

Preparation for lipofilling in the area of ​​lipodystrophy of the buttocks

To make sure there are no health problems, before the operation the doctor sends the patient for tests: clinical blood test, urine test, fluorography, ECG, possibly ultrasound, etc. The operation itself is performed under local anesthesia and does not take much time.

Stages of lipodystrophy correction in the buttocks

For lipodystrophy correction at the VIRTUS Institute, bioimplantation technology is used: the cavity on the buttocks is filled with the patient’s own fat, purified and enriched in our SmartCell laboratory. The lipodystrophy correction operation includes the following stages:

  1. Liposuction of fat from the area of ​​the body where there is excess (for example, the fat layer in women in the lower abdomen or thighs).
  2. The fat is sent to the laboratory for processing, and the patient returns to the ward. Or if it is a simultaneous operation that solves several problems at once, the surgeon, waiting for the ready bioimplant, works with another area.
  3. After an hour and a half, the bioimplant is sent to the operating room, and the patient returns to the table to fill the lipodystrophies.

After bioimplantation of the buttocks, the patient returns home on the same day.

Rehabilitation after lipodystrophy correction

After the removal of dimples and hollows, you cannot sit on the affected buttock for a month. You should also avoid active sports and physical exertion in the first month after the operation, because when a person sweats, the fat also dissolves. In general, rehabilitation is quick and painless.
