Power assisted liposuction for Brazilian buttock lift

Power assisted liposuction can certainly be used for a Brazilian buttock lift with results similar to traditional liposuction. The recovery is also quite similar with both methods of liposuction. The power assisted device makes the harvesting of the fat technically easier for the surgeon. The long term results in terms of fat retention are comparable also. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon familiar with this procedure before having surgery. Best wishes, Dr... more

Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
