Lipo Definition in Thighs: Volumizing and Defining the Vastus Muscles by Fat Transfer.

ABSTRACT: Volumizing muscles in the thighs by fat grafting to complement body contouring surgeries has not been adequately investigated. Our objective was to describe a technique (VDVFAT) that defines and volumizes thigh muscles by lipotransfer in the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles.

Methods

VDVFAT was performed in 52 patients by the same surgeon at a private clinic in Lima, Peru, between 2018 and 2019. All patients were aged between 18 and 60 years, had no cutaneous flaccidity of the thighs, had a body mass index less than 28, and had Goldman surgical risk below Class II.

Results

A total of 45 women aged 19-41 years (mean: 29.2 years) and seven men aged 24-41 years (mean: 33 years) were included. A mean of 173.36 cm³ of intramuscular fat was grafted to the vast
