Introduction
Under normal circumstances, the survival rate of autologous fat grafting for buttock augmentation is relatively high if the skin condition is good and proper post-operative care is provided. However, if the skin condition is poor or post-operative care is inadequate, the survival rate may decrease. If needed, it is recommended to visit a formal hospital. Therefore, a detailed pre-operative evaluation should be conducted, including assessment of skin condition, fat quality, and individual physical characteristics, to allow the doctor to develop a personalized surgical plan.
Gluteal augmentation with autologous fat involves extracting purified fat cells from other areas of the body and then injecting them into the buttocks. The general reference price for autologous fat gluteal augmentation ranges from 10,000 to 30,000 RMB per session, with visible improvement typically observed within 1 to 3 months. If the skin condition is good and proper post-operative care is performed, the survival rate of the transplanted fat cells is relatively high; however, if the skin condition is poor or post-operative care is inadequate, the survival rate may decrease. If considering this procedure, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo the treatment under the guidance of qualified physicians. A detailed explanation is as follows:
If the patient's skin condition is favorable, it provides a good environment for the survival of transplanted fat cells. Additionally, if the patient strictly follows the physician's post-operative care instructions—such as maintaining wound cleanliness, avoiding strenuous activity, and adhering to a proper diet—the survival rate of the transplanted fat cells will likely be higher.
If the patient's skin condition is poor—for example, with issues such as laxity or inadequate blood supply—the post-operative survival environment for the transplanted fat cells may be compromised. Moreover, failure to follow the physician's post-operative care instructions, such as neglecting wound cleanliness, engaging in strenuous activity too early, or improper diet, may all lead to a decreased survival rate of the transplanted fat cells.
Therefore, prior to surgery, a comprehensive preoperative evaluation should be conducted, including assessment of skin condition, fat quality, and individual physical characteristics, to enable the physician to develop a personalized surgical plan. Post-operative care according to the physician's recommendations is also essential, including maintaining local cleanliness, avoiding strenuous exercise, and following a balanced diet.
