Do all surgeons use micro sized cannulas for liposculpture? Does anyone even use the big cannulas anymore for Non bulk lipo?

I understand that in lipo sculpting for athletic patients the smallers cannulas give the best result. However isn't this what all surgeons (even board certified with the patient being under general anesthesia) would use anyway for someone who has a BMI under 30%? Can power assisted lipo even use 3mm or smaller canulas?
