Not sure what an open cannula is so I will just say that fat transfer to the face is done with pretty small 0.9 or -0.7 mm cannulas with a blunt tip and the opening near the end. Fine cannulas require fine control and fat is usually injected with a 1 cc syringe.For other areas, there are many, many cannulas, but in general they have a blunt tip and the fat comes out the side of the cannula through one or more holes.
Cannula type for fat transfer depends on the application - are we talking about fat transfer to the face, breast or body ? All of these regions can be treated with fat transfer.

Once a fat graft heals, the fat will behave the same as fat in the rest of your body. Some fat responds more to weight change than other fat ( as we all know well!). 4-5 pounds sounds like a pretty small amount and is unlikely to effect your eventual outcome. Having said that, if possible, lose...
