Technique to Get Fat Transfer for Breast Augmentation

barbiebionda16
I need to know. Someone please help. I keep going back and forth on whether or not to get fat transfer to my breasts for augmentation and that reason is because of some of the answers from the doctors. Here is a better question I hope someone will answer:). I had a very long over the phone convo w/ this new doctor about the new procedure they use.they pretty much tell me everything good and never say that there may be any risks associated with the surgery. 1st- they use LOCAL TUMESCENT ULTRASOUNG TECHNIQUE to remove fat...what is that? arent these two different types of lipo? 2nd- this person is not an actual plastic surgeon persay, but a physician who is a cosmetic surgeon, but claims to have been performing liposuction for more than 20 years. Is this normal? 3rd- BTW, who performed the first liposuction procedure in the US? (dont have to answer but just curious) 4th- this person uses a STEM CELL technique, where the fat is put into a machine and separated.- is this more doable than any other option? 5th- I would not be part of a clinical trial
