Kim Kardashian's curves in full: the most demanded surgery
The demand for a wasp waist and voluminous buttocks is achieved with an operation called 'lipofilling': fat deposits are extracted from different areas of the body and grafted where necessary.
Volume and more volume, a wasp waist and large, very large buttocks. It is the description that many women give to surgeons, including some images, to have their bodies shaped like Kim Kardashian.
This is what Dr. Ángel Martín, surgeon with 30 years of experience and medical director of Clínicas Menorca, affirms, who affirms that he has gone from liposculpture to lipofilling, techniques that seek to reshape the woman's body and that require a lot of skill and creativity to know where you can remove grease and how you can position it properly.
How to get the Kardhasian silhouette?
Dr. Ángel Martín, an expert in the technique of fat filling, affirms that “it is not necessary to increase the volume with prostheses, it can be achieved with lipofilling, one of the most advanced techniques in the field of cosmetic surgery, which requires a lot of skill. by the surgeon. I have been doing liposculpture for 30 years and that background gives you the experience of how to make it different in each case according to the patient, you know where you can touch, where not, how much adipose tissue to remove, how to perform the liposculpture ... Both liposculpture and lipofilling are techniques that require creativity, you shape the body by removing here and there, localized fat deposits are extracted from different areas of the body and grafted again where necessary to obtain a contoured and homogeneous silhouette, providing more harmonious proportions to the body. The recommendation depends on what the patient wants, ”he says.
What is lipofilling
"Lipofilling is a minimally invasive technique that is performed in two or three hours in the operating room, with local anesthesia and sedation. It does not require hospitalization, recovery takes between 7 and 10 days and the results are definitive," he says.
It consists of the extraction of fat by liposuction in the areas where it is accumulated, which are called "donor areas", to transfer it to the recipient area to give volume after a selective technique of manipulation and centrifugation of the fat cells or adipocytes.
"In the case of the buttocks, the technique allows the fat to be redistributed in a personalized way to give it the shape that each patient considers appropriate," he adds.
"The main advantage of this technique is that, as it is autologous fat, it favors cell regeneration and there is no risk of rejection. Another advantage is that no incisions are made, so there are no scars. Currently and thanks to advances in the medical research, new techniques to extract adipocytes without damaging them and the preparation and centrifugation phase to obtain the cleansed fat, allow a greater survival of the lipograft, which is integrated in the new location and maintains between 70 and 80% of its volume, "explains the surgeon.
To have Kardashian curves you have to have fat
Not all women can show off these curves, "as in all surgeries, there must be a surgical criterion. In this case, in order to perform lipofilling, fat deposits must be present in the donor areas. The donor area richest in stem cells (ASC), to ensure the greatest survival of the graft, is the thoracic area and the lower abdomen, but you can also obtain the grafts of the back, hips, arms or inner thighs ", he explains.
"Buttock remodeling has a limitation in terms of projection and volume that can be achieved, so each case in particular must be studied," he emphasizes.
