Answer: Lipo Candidate - VASER HD, J Plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite tightening, fat grafting for buttock lift/BBL, Cellfina/Sculptra cholesterol has nothing to do with embolism risk. please speak to your surgeon.You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty). Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.

Answer: I have high cholesterol. Will liposuction cause fat embolism? Having high cholesterol will not cause fat embolism during liposuction. Many varieties of liposuction are available including ultrasonic, smart lipo, laser lipo, vaser lipo, power assisted lipo, and conventional tumescent lipo. The results depend very little on the method used and very much on the surgeon selected. Be sure that your plastic surgeon is board certified and has a wealth of experience in performing liposuction.

Answer: Liposuction If you are stable on your medications, your doctor will most likely clear you for surgery. Fat emboli can happen regardless of your serum cholesterol levels and are extremely rare. The best thing to do is have an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon.

Answer: Liposuction Safety AngelinaI appreciate your concerns, however higher cholesterol counts do not affect or increase chances of either fat or a blood embolism after liposuction. Generally speaking, there is a very low chance of fat or blood embolism after this procedure, especially in healthy patients when appropriate precautions are taken. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in our area to address these concerns and greatly increase your chances for the best possible result. Good luck.
