SmartLipo destroys fat- this cannot be used in a Brazilian Butt Lift

SmartLipo is a special type of liposuction that will destroy the fat as it is removed. If the fat is then destroyed it then cannot be used as material for fat grafting into the gluteal region. For a successful result in a Brazilian butt lifts, the fat must be cleaned and processed very gently. Only in this way will the fat survive once it is placed into the buttocks. If someone is offering this combination to you, be suspicious and please make sure that your surgeon actually has experience... more

Smart lipo Brazilian Butt Lift

Smart Lipo melts fat and shrinks the skin. To get the best of both I harvest the fat with traditional tumescent liposuction. I then use smart lipo after the fat has been harvested to get better skin shrikage from the harvested areas. This way the fat is not melted and you gettting better skin shrikage.

Smart Lipo for Brazilian Butt Lift?

Definitely wouldn't recommend it! Smart Lipo uses a laser to break up and melt the fat cells, killing them. What you have to understand is that the Brazilian procedure doesn't just transfer fat. This procedure is really a way of transferring the cells that store the fat, Fat Cells. The goal is to transfer these cells in a way that they survive in their new location, the soft tissues of the buttocks. Therefore, laser liposuction, ultrasonic liposuction, and even power assisted liposuction are... more

Smart lipo destroys fat cells and therefore can not be used for harvesting fat fro buttock augmentation

Because laser liposuction or "smart liposuction" destroys fat cells, it can not be used to harvest fat cells for grafting into the buttocks. I guess "smart lipo" is not such a "smart idea".

You need fat that will survive.

With Brazillian butt lifts the goal is to transfer fat from unwanted areas and use it to enhance the profile of the buttocks. The fat that is transferred should be treated so that it will survive. Transferring fat that will die will lead to complications like infection and loss of contour improvement. Smart lipo, laser lipo, cool lipo, ultrasonic lipo - anything where there is increased fat cell destruction means the fat you transfer may not survive. Traditional liposuction should be used.... more

Fat transfer requires non-traumatized fat cells.

MS76, Fat transfer requires non-traumatized fat cells. Smart Lipo uses a laser to melt the fat. These fat cells would not be viable for transfer techniques. Depending on how much fat you need transfered, it would be possible to do traditional liposuction to get enough fat for transfer and then perform Smart Lipo everywhere else. I hope this is helpful.

Smart Lipo is Not Best for Brazilian Butt Lift

Because Smart Lipo melts the fat this technique is not nearly as successful with the Brazilian Butt Lift as traditional liposuction. In order for the results to be permanent its important that the fat cells are transferred to the butt and establish a blood supply to that area. Since Smart Lipo melts the fat, it is killing fat cells that are necessary for the augmentation.

Smart Lipo an Brazilian Buttlift

The fat needs to removed without damaging it. The laser used in smart lipo does just that. It is reasonable to use more conventional liposuction methods to preserve the fat for the best fat take and for minimizing fat necrosis. Kenneth Hughes, MD Brazilian buttlift Los Angeles, CA

Avoid Smart Lipo for Brazilian Butt Lift

In my opinion, Smart lipo and other techniques that damage the fat such as Laser lipo, Ultrasonic lipo and Vaser should be avoided. Long lasting results depend on injecting minimally damaged viable fat so it can be vascularized and have the best survival.
