Can I gain weight in specific areas if I get Vaser lipo?

No, VASER liposuction will not redistribute the fat. In order to keep the results of your procedure you need to maintain a healthy diet and workout consistently. If you are interested in adding volume to your buttock then you may want to consider a BBL. If you are a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), the optimal outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

Lipisuction with or without fat transfer will permanently change your fat distribution.

If people change weight after fat manipulating procedures they will do so based on their new fat distribution.

The recovery for fat transfer is really not any longer than for liposuction.

Different plastic surgeons have different postoperative protocols after the BBL but in terms of just simple recovery for transfer transfer is slightly less traumatic than liposuction. The equipment used what type of liposuction is fairly irrelevant. Gaining weight after liposuction to grow other body parts it’s probably not a good way to go.
