Liposuction with Fat Transfer for a Younger and More Refreshed Look

Liposuction with fat transfer is the popular new way for men and women to achieve a younger and more refreshed look. When a patient’s own body fat from areas such as the thighs, buttocks and abdomen can be used to plump up some others, it means less reliance on material that is foreign to the body such as implants to achieve these results. With the combination procedure, augmentation happens naturally and the results look and feel natural too.

How Autologous Fat Transfer Is Performed

The first step is taking out fat from an area(s) where it is in excess using low-vacuum and gentle liposuction. The abdomen, flanks, thighs and buttocks are examples of such areas. The purpose for using low-vacuum liposuction is to protect the living fat cells and retain their viability for fat transplantation. An example of reliable equipment used at plastic surgery centers for the purpose is the FDA approved Smartlipo Triplex™ system manufactured by Cynosure®. The fat taken out is then processed and purified and a select portion of this processed fat injected into the target area. It is not one single injection but a sequence of small injections that are introduced into different parts of the target area, thereby enabling accurate contouring.

How the Procedure Can Enhance Your Beauty

The cosmetic benefits of subcutaneous fat transplantation to the face, breasts and buttocks are described below:

• Face – A common development in people who have reached their mid-30s is the beginnings of a loss of volume in certain areas such as the face. Fat transplantation can help to make up for the lost volume by plumping up the skin. The areas the procedure is usually used to augment are the cheeks and lips. Plastic surgeons also effectively use the procedure to fill facial lines and reduce wrinkles. With the lines hidden and lost volume restored, the person’s face looks youthful and rejuvenated.

• Breasts – Fat injected into the breasts can improve both their volume and lift. Close to a two fold enhancement in size can be achieved with this procedure. It can also be used for precise contouring of the breasts. The surgery is thus useful for women who:
• are unable to gain weight in their breasts
• have lost breast volume after a delivery
• are looking for a more natural technique of post-mastectomy breast reconstruction

• Buttocks – Butt augmentation using fat from the patient’s own body is popularly known as Brazilian butt lift. Women usually go for this procedure to make their buttocks rounder and fuller or better shaped.

There are many other advantages for fat transfer after liposuction surgery. These benefits are:

• Outpatient procedure
• Minimally invasive
• Local anesthesia
• Possibilities of rejection by the body are almost nil
• Safe
• Rapid recovery
