What is Fat Harvesting and How is It Done?

October 10, 2010
Asked By:Neurotica in Atlanta-Metro area, GA

Some doctors on this website have said that the fat obtained by tumescent liposuction is not re-usable. So then how do they get the fat out? Is fat harvesting a way of extracting fat?, or does it refer to how the fat's treated once it's obtained via lipo? What are ALL the ways to extract/treat/harvest/prepare fat? And what is the best method in order for the fat to stay there permanently? I don't want to drop 5-10 grand on a Brazilian butt lift, only for it to last 6 months.
