Is Fat Transfer Liposuction Safer Than Liposuction?

fat injections can be done as a sole procedure during which fat is removed by syringe or liposuction technique but limited to the area of the donor tissue and not done enough to see a change in contour of the donor area.  Risks are extremely minimal with tumescent liposuction and so the risks are not much greater than liposuction.

Although the techniques for harvesting fat for injection and for body contour are different, each is safe. Most liposuction involves greater volume so there is that to consider.  I would be more worried about the outcome of the injection than the safety of harvesting fat.  It is very safe.  The injection, on the other hand, is unpredictable.

Liposuction is most dangerous when performed by practitioners practicing outside of their specialty.  The risks are low in the hands of board certified plastic surgeons.  Volumes resected should be reasonable.  High volume liposuction is certainly or higher risk than removal of modest volumes.  When considering procedures, look at the "was it worth it rating" here.  I have found these ratings to be similar to those in my own practice.

43% is an F where I'm from.  Good luck!!
