Abstract:
The gluteal fat grafting technique continues to grow in popularity, along with which the safety issue should not be ignored. It drew attentions of researchers that due to the existence of large vessels, fat embolism or fat embolism syndrome occurred more frequently for gluteal fat grafting, which might lead to death. In this situation, researchers performed a series of study including retrospective case series, systematic analysis, questionnaire survey and anatomical study, and summarized a series of safety principles for gluteal fat grafting, such as scanning high-risk patients; staying subcutaneously injection, avoiding intramuscular injection; using cannula size over 4 mm; keeping cannula parallel to gluteus maximus; injecting while withdrawing; and avoiding excessive local pressure. Based on the literature review, this article analyzes and summarizes the safety of gluteal fat grafting.
