Laser for Butt Lifting - Lasers with a Brazilian Butt Lift
I an really interested in the Brazillian Butt lift butt don't want to have actual lipoSUCTION. Can the transfer be done after one of the less invasive procedure (SmartLipo, Cool Lipo, Vaser) is performed?

Lasers for Buttock Lifting is not effective
To truly shape and lift the buttocks, either fat needs to be transferred or in worst case situations, skin needs to be removed for a skin tightening. This may be necessary if the skin is too loose and has lost its elasticity. This can occur after massive weight loss.
On the other hand, filling the buttock tissue (muscle, fat layers etc) with carefully placed fat cells can "lift" the buttock by plumping it. This is similar to filling a balloon with air. When the balloon is...

Can I have a Brazilian Butt Lift with VASER or another type of liposuction?
Hi there-
There are two very important points for you to understand...
First of all, I would not usually recommend using fat harvested by laser, VASER, waterjet, or power-assisted liposuction for grafting in a Brazilian Butt Lift. These techniques are too traumatic to the fat and might compromise the outcome you desire.
The second and possibly more important point to make, however, is that I would not agree that these techniques are "less-invasive". The marketing professionals at...

Laser Butt Lift?
The branded procedures such as SmartLipo, CoolLipo, and Vaser are modifications of actual liposuction. They are not less invasive, though this is a common misconception. A laser or ultrasound device is used beneath the skin to melt fat prior to suction. Many physicians do attest that fat removal is easier after it is melted.
It may not be advisable to use a laser or ultrasound on fat that is to be transferred, as it will damage the fat cells and decrease their survivability - meaning that...

Agree with NO
I agree with Dr. Bogdan - 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.

Liposuction and Brazilan Butt Lift
There are many types of liposuction machines. Some use laser energy to melt the fat (such as Smart Lipo), some use ultrasonic energy (Vaser), some use a water jet, and some use mechanical energy. It is NOT true that these techniques are less invasive than standard liposuction. In fact, in many ways they are more invasive since some of them actually destroy the fat cells before the cells are removed with the Liposuction tube. Many of these manufacturers advertise...

Liposuction for buttock augmentation
The alternative techniques in liposuction shouldn't be used for augmentation of buttocks or for reshaping since those techniques all destroy the fat cells to a degree. As it is, one must really have the technique down to minimize trauma to the fat cells so this would really counter the basic principles of fat transfer. If you're not interested in liposuction then this isn't the operation for you. Truthfully, I think you should consider your stance on the...

No place for lasers in a Brazilian Butt Lift
These days, there are many different types of liposuction. When selecting the best that liposuction for you, it is important to consider what your goals are. In a Brazilian Butt lift we will perform liposuction to multiple parts of the body and then clean and process this fat so that we are only left with healthy and whole fat cells. This is crucial for the success of the procedure. These fat cells will then be transplanted to the bus.
Liposuction techniques such as SmartLipo, VASER,...

Brazilian Butt Lift
No absolutely not. The laser will actually destroy the fat cells. Thus you will be trasnferring dead fat cells into the buttock area. Most of the dead cells will be removed by your white blood cells. However they can also get contaminated and infected. Thus ABSOLUTELY NO.

Do not use laser lipo for fat transfer: Brazilian Butt Lift
Laser, ultrasound, etc will destroy the very same fat cells you need.
Successful Fat transfer is a very technically demanding procedure that takes a lot of skill and dedicated staff.

Laser Liposuction will destroy fat
The best method for far harvesting is a low pressure suction using a syringe. Using laser, ultrasound or any other method will result in destruction of the fat transfered and a worse result. Hope that helps!

Brazilian Buttock Enhancement
The whole idea of transfering fat is to try to remove fat as gentle as possible to preserve the viability of the fat cells.
Vaser Lipo, Smart Lipo, and Ultrasound Lipo all kill the fat cells.
Fat is aspirated by syringe liposuction or lowering the amount of suction on the machine to half to ensure viability of the fat cells.

Traditional Liposuction is best for Brazilian Butt Lift
It is commonly thought that procedures such as these, involving heat, laser, or ultrasound technology is less invasive. That actually may be a misconception. Procedures such as this can, in a sense, be considered more invasive since you are adding heat or laser to the traditional form of liposuction involving a metal cannula and vacuum aspiration.
With a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, because it involves micro-fat grafting the fat that is removed must remain alive and viable. With...

Vaser or Laser lipolysis before Fat transfer (Braizilian Butt Lift)
Simply answer NO!!!!
Those types of liposuction DESTROY the fat cells so the transfer is a failure from the get go. Only traditional lipo, Syringe Lipo (OH my aching fingers), PAL lipo, or the newer Body Jet lipo can supply viable fat for transfer.
Hope this clears things up.

Vaser or Smart Lipo for Brazilian Butt Lift
I actually know of a Plastic Surgeon who has tried these different liposuction techniques to harvest the fat for buttocks augmentation and reports some benefit. But, not much!
I would strongly advise against it.

Misconceptions regarding liposuction techniques
All liposuction techniques require moving a metal cannula under the skin with vacuum aspiration. At a minimum, this is called Traditional Liposuction. All of the other techniques you mentioned add the delivery of some type of energy below the skin surface (ultrasound - VASER or light SmartLipo & CoolLipo). Since these have something "more" added than traditional liposuction, they are actually more invasive. It is a marketing ruse that they are considered less invasive. As these...
