I'm considering liposuction in the abdomen area and use that fat to be injected to my buttocks. Is this possible? This will be my first time for liposuction/contour. I heard that fat removed for the first time is best to be used for transfer.
There are several different methods to perform the actual liposuction and processing of the fat following the liposuction as well as the re-injection of the fat to the buttocks; however, the actual techniques used can impact how much of the fat is still present at one year following the Brazilian buttock lift. It is the combination of the fat transfer to the buttocks as well as the removal of the fat from the abdomen and lower back/flanks that improves the overall contour of the buttocks. Two people in your area (Newport Beach) that perform this procedure are Dr. Hisham Seify and Dr. Nirav Savalia--you will be happy with either one of them. Best wishes.
My doctor is a member of the "American Society of Lipo-Suction Surgery" as well as an "American Association of Cosmetic School" associate. Does this mean he is board certified? I am having tumescent liposuction done this Friday and am just wondering...
Board certification in an American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) accredited field that deals with your specific procedure is an imperative minimum for you to evaluate your surgeon (tel# 1-866-275-2267). In addition, you should look at whether or not they have privileges to do the same procedure in local area hospitals and not just in their offices--as hospitals require rigorous specifications to be met. Many "cosmetic" or "aesthetic" or "skin" surgeons perform procedures in their offices in substandard conditions and they do not have privileges to perform in the hospitals. Also, you should assess what percentage of their practice is dedicated to your specific procedure and what their results are. These are minimum requirements and may still not guarantee that your outcome is what you had wished for, but they demonstrate that your surgeon is responsible and and serious about their practice. Finally, awake versus asleep liposuction is not a determinant in proper liposuction.
I am 16 days post op from what was supposed to have been full body lipo with massive debulking of my thighs and inner thigh lift with short scar. I am very upset with the outcome of my surgery.
I was told it would be a 6+ hour surgery. It wound up only being three hours and with only light liposuction to portions of my leg. My Dr has said it was not the optimum result and has now scheduled me for revision liposuction for this Friday for which he is going to lipo thighs and knees again.
He claims this is not going to affect the thigh lift; however, how is that possible? Wont liposuctioning the rear of my thighs (which are horrible and need it) and re liposuctioning the front and inner thigh to get more out actually worsen or mess up the thigh lift and require fixing of that as well?Wont it just become more loose with the loss of more fat?
I can still grab a large handful of fat on each of the front of my thighs and there is still massive dimpling of my legs with marked excess skin still remaining in the inner thigh. I can still pull up skin in my inner thigh and cant understand why they werent pulled tighter. It honestly doesn’t look like I have had a thigh lift. For $11,000 it appear to be a waste of money. Sorry for all of the questions, I am just really in need of help and advice.
You said that you were only 16 days out of surgery. That is really early and you are still very swollen from any liposuction that was done. Without seeing you myself I cannot say what surgically you need. However, even though you and your surgeon think that the results can be improved, I would recommend that you wait at least three months before doing any revisions. This is because you want the swelling to settle and the thigh lift to heal before re-evaluating what surgically needs to be improved. Although this may be hard to wait especially when you are disappointed, I would still recommend it.
Hope this helps.
