“…There have been reports of a granulomatous reactions to the administration of autologous fat transplant [67]; however, it seems to be the result of poor surgical techniques [68] and not of the patient's comorbidities. Nevertheless, it seems that autologous fat transplantation procedure is safe in patients with autoimmune thyroid disease; however, its effectiveness in terms of graft survival may be reduced in this group of patients with autoimmune disease [69][70][71].…”

Autoimmune thyroid diseases are the most common organ-specific autoimmune diseases, affecting 2–5% of the world’s population. Due to the autoimmune background of thyroid diseases, we analyzed a wide range of cosmetic procedures, from minimally invasive cosmetic injections (mesotherapy) to highly invasive procedures, such as lifting threads. Out of the seven categories of treatments in aesthetic medicine analyzed by us—hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin, autologous platelet-rich plasma, autologous fat grafting, lifting threads, IPL and laser treatment and mesotherapy—only two, mesotherapy and lifting threads, are not recommended. This is due to the lack of safety studies and the potential possibility of a higher frequency of side effects in patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases.

“…23,32 Rare cases of mycobacterial infections and granulomatous reactions have also been described. 9,33 Complications occur most frequently following intramuscular fat grafting, with one review showing a complication rate of 4% for subcutaneous fat grafting compared with 28.7% for fat grafting involving intramuscular injections. 18 Complication rates also increase with increasing volumes of injected fat, with a complication rate of 19% with fat injection of more than 1,000 mL intramuscularly and subcutaneously per buttocks.…”

Autologous fat grafting is now considered the gold standard for buttock augmentation. Although a variety of techniques are currently being used by surgeons around the world, methods of fat grafting to the buttocks remain unsystematized, poorly understood, and controversial in terms of their safety and efficacy. Nonetheless, buttock augmentation by fat grafting has a satisfaction rate of 97.1%, and its mean complication rate has been estimated to be around 7 to 10%, with serious complications occurring in less than 1% of cases. Fat emboli are one such serious complication, with several reports in the literature discussing morbidity and mortality, specifically with intramuscular injection. With the increasing popularity of fat grafting for buttock augmentation, it is more important than ever to continue researching and learning to safeguard the satisfaction and safety of our patients.
