Looking to get the fat transfer to the breast procedure, with the Airsculpt method. I’m just curious if the heating process will end up killing the fat cells or render them unusable. Thank you!

Answer: Fat transfer to breast The Airsculpt uses laser ( as far as I remember) which does create heat. I prefer using the standard liposuction techniques with small to medium cannulas to remove the fat with the least amount of trauma. Be aware that fat transfer to the breasts usually increases the size only 1/2 cup size (maximum of one cup size in rare cases). Dr. Taranow

Answer: Fat transfer with energy based devices When energy best devices are used for harvesting fed her fat transfer such as laser assistant Liposuction the laser treatment after harvesting the fat. Generally the laser treatment doesn’t do much regardless and plastic surgeons are not going to purposely do a procedure to compromise your fat transfer. I recommend having in person consultations to get an accurate assessment and better understanding of the treatment process. You should also carefully vet providers to make sure they have sufficient skill when it comes to liposuction and fat transfer. Delivering consistent quality liposuction and fat transferred results is more difficult than most people believe. The number of providers who can do these procedures well on a consistent basis including the ability to make an accurate assessment and show corresponding honest before and after pictures is a relatively small. Going to experts who do the procedure on a regular basis is in your favor. They will not purposely compromise the fat that’s going to be grafted. I have faith that plastic surgeons are not that stupid though sometimes I too wonder when I see some of the results that are posted on this forum. I recommend having in person consultations before considering any permanent and irreversible procedure. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
