How the fat cells are collected for a Brazilian Butt Lift is important in order to achieve optimal results. Smartlipo uses laser to break up fat before removal, and this can damage the fat cells, so it is not recommended.
Lasered fat is composed of destroyed dead fat cells and wouldn't work for a BBL. However, if your surgeon starts the procedure with regular lipo to collect live fat cells, then they could do some laser lipo afterwards.
Thank you for your question but unfortunately the answer is “no.” With traditional liposuction the fat is being removed and harvested to be injected back into the body, whereas SmartLipo uses the addition of a laser to eliminate the fat in combination with tightening the skin. Hope this information has helped.
Hi asiaf08,You should not get smart lipo prior to suctioning out the fat for a bbl, the laser energy will cause fat cells to melt and hence non viable. If your provider uses the smart lipo on the undersurface of your skin to stimulate skin contraction AFTER all the fat to be used for your Bbl has been harvested then that would be okayHope this helps
Smart lipo can kill the fat cells during liposuction, so the fat is not able to be transferred later on. Healthy fat is able to be removed with traditional liposuction, and then transferred to the buttocks.
Fat transfer depends on living cells to survive their being moved to a new location. By definition the SmartLipo laser kills the cells right off the bat, so they aren’t useful at all in BBL.
The laser treatment kills the fat cells and therefore they cannot be transferred. It is possible to do some manual liposuction before starting the Smartlipo portion of the case, transfer this fat and then do the Smartlipo during the same case. However this would only make sense for small fat transfers.david berman md
Laser doesn’t work for fat transfer.I recommend water assisted, power assisted and ultrasound assisted Lipo techniques which are more evolved Liposuction and in my hands get great fat transfer survivability.Choose an expert. Best. Dr Brecht Seattle, Wa
Thank you for your question. Yes, it is possible to have SmartLipo in the mons pubis fat area. The energy of the SmartLipo™ laser performs two essential functions: (1) it liquefies fat cells, making them easier to remove; and (2) it heats the skin in the treatment area, triggering a healing r...
What you are describing sounds like you are experiencing a little more swelling and bruising than the average smartlipo patient. I'm confused how you are getting bruising in your thighs after your abdomen and flanks were treated. Were all of the incisions sutured...
By 20 days, your holes should be healed. Perhaps you got small burns from the laser. With local wound care, it will heal with time and the scar will be fine. i usually put a single suture in my incisions and they heal very quickly. Ask your board certified PS.david berman md
