Body Jet Versus Tumescent Liposuction, Which is Most Effective?

I am planning on having lipo & fat grafting to my breasts, and am quite thin. I'm considering a few different surgeons, and they are divided on the best lipo technique to use. Some say tumescent lipo with micro cannula is best (because I am thin), and others say water-assisted is best because it is gentle on the fat cells and they are more likely to survive. What does everyone think? Does anyone have extensive experience using both methods?
