LET’S START FROM THE “BOTTOM” BBL has been the “on-demand” surgical procedure over the past years, with a 12% global increase in just one year between 2016 and 20171. The first alarm sounded in 2015 after a study conducted in Colombia and Mexico which analyzed cases of fatal fat embolisms following gluteal lipoinjection procedures2. Further investigation discovered similar complications and deaths on an international scale, amounting to a startling mortality rate of one death out of 3000, the highest rate of all aesthetic procedures3.

During IMCAS World Congress 2019, Dr Renato Saltz, former president of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), discussed in detail the recommended procedural techniques for practitioners to take into consideration for gluteal fat grafting.

UNDERSTANDING THE ANATOMY Dr Sebastien Garson, plastic surgeon and president of the French Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (SOFCEP) reiterates how crucial it is to understand that underneath the seemingly simple structure of the buttocks lies a complex network of arteries and nerves.

The layers of the buttock that pertain to BBL procedures are namely the subcutaneous, deep fat layers, and muscle layer. According to Dr Garson, this latter layer is the region that interests us most because within the muscle and beneath it lies some deep structures that we do not want to touch - significant arteries, such as the superior and inferior gluteal perforators, the sciatic nerve and other large vessels.

But why are these structures, which are securely buried under layers of fat and muscle, still so susceptible during fat grafting? It’s the location in which these veins are situated, explains Dr Daniel Del Vecchio, plastic surgeon and expert in buttocks augmentation.

The problem occurs when the fat is injected past the fascia of the gluteus maximus.

In a recent study he suggested that when fat enters the muscle past the fascia, the fat migrates through to the sub-muscular danger zone where all the deep structures are found. And according to Dr Del Vecchio, here starts ticking the time bomb because the superior arterial vein (SGV) is a fragile vein that needs room to expand, for it expands four to five times its normal width; however, if fat migrates to these sub-muscular cavities and the SGV gets stretched, the fragile vein tears, opening itself up for a fat embolism.

4

TECHNIQUES TO REMEMBER The first and foremost consensus between the advising surgeons is choosing the adequate patient because the decision on whether or not to proceed with buttocks fat grafting should be based on the patient’s BMI. The patient must have sufficient autologous fat to harvest. “Give antibiotic prophylaxis [and maintain] optimal clinical management during the perioperative period to avoid hypovolemia and hypothermia,” advised Dr Alexandra Conde Green, plastic surgeon at the University Hospital in Newark, “and follow up with prophylaxis for deep venous thromboembolism post-operation.”

Dr Katarina Andjelkov, professor and practicing plastic surgeon in Belgrade, explained that for her patients she performs a tumescent infiltration prior to the lipoaspiration. Once harvested, the fat is purified in a closed system in order to obtain uniform grafts, free of oil, free fatty acids and blood, as the presence of free fatty acids may favor the appearance of microscopic fat embolism. “My key tip here is to ensure that patients are hydrated adequately during the whole procedure.” she added.

imcas editorial asked five specialists in bbl for a deeper analysis on this hot procedure.

The aforementioned anatomy for buttocks fat grafting indicates that the subcutaneous plane – the fatty layer between the skin and muscle – is considered the safe zone. First measure of precaution, according to Dr Conde Green, is using a blunt tip cannula with a diameter of 3mm or more so that it cannot accidently graze and perforate a vein. The tip of the cannula should always be pointing upward and in motion so as to avoid the muscle all together. This technique was further supported by Dr Andre Ferrao Vargas who shared his personal technique, “To transfer the fat to perform a BBL, my routine is to use 3.0 cannulas in the adipose tissue and utilize multiple tunnels.

Maximum volume to each gluteal area should be around 300 to 400 cc to improve fat integration while avoiding excessive pressure over the fat.” But the experts emphasize the importance of becoming familiar with the anatomy and acquiring experience with the procedure before any “personalized modifications”.

ANATOMY AS THE ULTIMATE MAP ILLUSTRATED BY COTOFANA

Lourdes Monserrate CANO, Gynecologist, Paraguay

There is one blatant truth: “The cadaver is always right.” Only, the way in which we look at anatomy is different. We can use dissections, power-point based lectures, videos or schematic drawings. All of these modalities are tools to translate the complex anatomy into an easier language for doctors, so that they can use and apply it when they treat patients. Anatomy is like a map.

The better you know where you are, the faster you can arrive and achieve your goals.

And you have to understand all elements illustrated in a map, like the “no-go” zones.

You don’t want to get lost and you certainly don’t want to turn the wrong path and cause damage.

TRANSPARENCY IN INDUSTRY RELATIONSHIPS IMCAS derives its revenue either from A/industry subscriptions or B/from physician subscriptions.

It conducts educational activities, but is also a profit-seeking business.

How is this dilemma resolved? Simply by clearly identifying revenue’s origins.

This allows our participants to rely on receiving transparent education free of commercial influences.

Industry subscription may come in two forms: support by providing a SPONSORSHIP or an EDUCATIONAL GRANT. Let us explain each of these two supports provided by the industry.

SPONSORSHIP In a case of a sponsorship, IMCAS receives financial support from the sponsoring company and in return provides the stage for product promotions. For this reason, the contents of sponsored sessions are not endorsed

by IMCAS.

EDUCATIONAL GRANT A grant is a financial donation from external parties as a gesture to support a project or program. The contents of sessions with grants are developed entirely by the IMCAS Scientific Committee and follows the same code of ethics and COI policy as scientific sessions.

THE INTRICACIES IN FAT GRAFTING WITH DR COHEN For surgeons, fat has become like clay and we use it everywhere it looks nice. We are surgical artists.

However, volume loss in the face is not like loss of air, it is loss of specific tissues such as dermis, superficial fat, deep fat and bone.

It is now possible to diagnose these losses and anatomically replace the missing tissue with appropriately sized fat grafts ranging from 2 mm to 0.5 mm with varying amounts of regenerative cells. Our technique called ITR2, or injectable tissue replacement and regeneration has been shown to reduce the rate of tissue decay while restoring beautiful aesthetics. Learning how to diagnose and use these different fat grafts in this anatomically precise technique are the kinds of things I would like to introduce at IMCAS Americas Congress. I hope you will join me there.

“Muy contenta con la llegada del imcas a sudamérica, buenos expositores y temas de vanguardia” Claudia CRUZALEGUI SOLARI, MD, Peru

“Muy buenos temas, excelentes expositores” Juan Guillermo BRETON FRANCO, MD, Colombia

DR JONATHAN FERNANDEZ STATES: IN YOUTH WE LEARN This “young” module was developed last year in order to form a strong collaboration between young practitioners not only to ensure that the future generation can be exposed to rich educational content under a wider umbrella of aesthetic science.

It’s the chance to develop in theory as well as in practice, and to exchange with some of the most revered international experts. It also includes a unique opportunity where resident doctors can present a clinical case before a jury of some of the best, most experienced professionals from all over the world and the winner is awarded a prize. These are definitely not things every medical school offers.
