Fat injections for buttock can't be used from Smart lipo
As SmartLipo is subjecting the fat to thermal (or heat) trauma, the fat cells are destroyed and won't live well in the new area. Tumescent liposuction, however, does not damage the fat in this way, and those fat cells can be retrieved and used for fat injecitons.

Fat Transfer after Smart Lipo
Using the Smart Lipo system will result in the disruption of the fat cell making useless for transfer to any area of the body. However, most surgeons experienced with fat transfer techniques, will use specialized cannulas to harvest the fat prior to performing lipo-sculpture with the Smart Lipo system. This will allow for the minimum amount of trauma to the fat cells to be transferred while still allowing for the maximum result from your lipo-sculpture.

Fat Transfer
Fat obtained from Smartlipo cannot be used for fat transfer. The laser treatment used to "melt" the fat makes the cells non-viable. Harvesting fat for fat transfer requires very gentle suction to help maximize the viability of the cells.
Good Luck.

Naturalfill Aqualipo fat transfer smartlipo
When a smartlipo procedure is performed, the doctor will put the tumescent solution in the area to be treated. Tumescent solution is another name for numbing fluid which is a mixture of IV fluid, or salt water, and lidocaine. The numbed area is then treated with the smartlipo laser. The purpose of the laser is to melt the fat cells and provide a heating effect to the skin to obtain skin tightening. The fat is then removed with traditional type fat removal procedures. Because the fat has been...

No problem, combining fat harvest with any lipo technique.
We simply harvest the fat before the therapeutic liposuction begins. That way we are assured of good, healthy fat for transfer. We pick the area to be done that needs the most liposuction and take the deepest layer of fat, usually the sub-scarpa's fat of the abdomen. Knee fat works even better.

Facial fat transfer cannot be performed with Smartlipo
Hi punkin,
Facial fat transfer cannot be performed with Smartlipo.
Fat for facial fat injections is typically obtained via gentle liposuction manually by your plastic surgeon. Next, this fat is processed to purify the fat, stem cells, and other viable tissue while minimizing damage. The fat is then immediately transferred to the face via small injections to rejuvenate the face, during face lift, lip enhancement, or other cosmetic surgery.

Fat Grafting when Doing Liposuction
Liposuction, regardless of technique, will traumatize the fat cells, but the fat harvested for transplantation can be removed before the liposuction. It is smart to do both procedures during the same operation.

Fat transfer
For successful fat transfer, it is best to use fat cells that are alive and not injured. Smart lipo uses laser to burst the fat cells. Thus most will not be viable. Therefore your result will be negatively affected.

Fat Transfer works with Tumescent Liposuction
Fat transfer with fat obtained during tumescent liposuction and handled properly by an experienced surgeon will work as well as possible. Smart lipo destroys the fat cells so it is not appropriate for fat harvesting. When done at the time of body contouring, fat transfer to the buttocks can be very rewarding.

Dear Punkin,
Thank you for your question. I am uncertain as to whether there is disruption of the fat cells with smart lipo- this laser actually targets water to generate heat and supposedly skin tightening. There are techniques to harvest your fat and use it to shape the face and body I have done this for the breasts, buttocks, face and contour irregularities from liposuction and other scars. The technique of harvest and injection are both important- and can...
