FL S0412

Requires physicians performing gluteal fat grafting procedures in office surgery settings to maintain a one-to-one ratio of physician to patient throughout all phases of the procedure, from anesthesia administration through patient extubation.

Prohibits physicians from performing more than one gluteal fat grafting procedure simultaneously or performing a gluteal fat grafting procedure and any other procedure on multiple patients at the same time.

Mandates that only the performing physician may inject gluteal fat, which must be placed only in the subcutaneous space and may not penetrate the fascia overlying the gluteal muscle; intramuscular and submuscular injections are prohibited.

Requires physicians to use ultrasound guidance during placement and navigation of the cannula to ensure fat is injected into the correct subcutaneous space above the fascia.
