Laser Liposuction Combined with Fat Transfer for a More Youthful Appearance

Laser liposuction combined with fat transfer can provide for a more youthful and natural appearance. In earlier times, any fat that was taken out from the body was thrown out as waste. However, times have changed and fat extracted from one area of the body such as the abdomen or thighs can actually be used to contribute volume, projection and shape to other body areas such as the breasts or buttocks. The liposuctioned fat when injected to certain areas of the face can plump them up and reduce the appearance of facial lines.

The best candidate for the combination of procedures is a physically fit individual who has practical expectations from the surgery.

Liposuction Surgery Using Advanced Technology

The great thing about liposuction fat transfer is that it uses the patient’s own body fat. There is no need to insert any artificial implants that run the risk of being rejected by the body. An advanced technology used by many a plastic surgeon for the suction process is the Smartlipo Triplex™ system. This system manufactured by Cynosure® is FDA approved and very popular in different parts of the world. It has three powerful laser wavelengths and three smart delivery systems. The combination of both contributes to accurate fat removal with no burns, minimal surgical trauma and minimal scarring.

ADRC (adipose-derived stem and regenerative cells) are present in abundance in the fat that is removed during laser liposuction. This fat can be cryogenically frozen to be used later whenever the patient feels the need to increase volume in her face or body.

Fat Transfer Procedure – Effective and Safe

For the purpose of immediate fat grafting, the fat taken out with suction is processed and purified. Carefully selected fat to be relocated is administered by a series of injections to the areas that need volume. With injections to the breast it is possible to enhance the breast’s size by at least two times. Fat injections to the face are usually to the lips and cheeks, and wrinkled areas. The reason for using many small injections and not a single lump one is to enable precise contouring. Implants on the other hand can improve overall contours but cannot address localized distortions.

More Benefits

Apart from those already mentioned above, the laser liposuction-fat grafting combination procedures offer the following benefits:

• Local anesthesia
• Minimally invasive
• Minimal chance of infection
• Smooth recovery

Choose a Competent and Compassionate Plastic Surgeon

To ensure that you get the best results from laser liposuction combined with fat transfer, ensure that you approach the right plastic surgeon. First of all, make sure that your surgeon practices at an accredited plastic surgery facility. Carry out a background check on his credentials and reputation. Make sure the surgeon has sufficient experience in performing the procedure successfully before choosing him. At the initial consultation, judge the surgeon’s bedside manner and also how comfortable you are in discussing your issues with him. Keeping these points in mind will help you choose the right plastic surgeon.
