Gluteal Augmentation with Stromal Vascular Fraction-Enriched Fat

Gluteal augmentation with fat grafting is increasing in demand. Since its introduction, lipofilling has become increasingly popular; however, its results are variable and unpredictable. Several modifications have been made to the different steps of the procedure, harvesting, processing, and injection. The addition of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) that contains regenerative cells including adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) to fat has shown to increase graft take. The goal of Stromal Enriched Lipograft™ (SEL) gluteal augmentation is to restore gluteal contour, provide sufficient and harmonious volume to the buttocks and hips while minimizing the rate of fat resorption. This technique has resulted in great aesthetic outcomes and has allowed reshaping of the buttocks with low complication rates and high patient satisfaction.
