Tumescent/BBL transfer?

Question

I had a BBL done 6 years ago. 1,450ccs was transferred to my buttocks and outter thighs. 1450ccs number seems high but Dr said the technique at the time didn't involve much handling and processing of the fat so there was a little more tumescent in what was transferred. What does that mean, "there was a little more tumescent in what was transferred"? Did my fat have more fluid in it than fat? Just curious and trying to understand. :) Thank you

Thank you for your query. The doctor just means that there was some tumescent fluid that was injected along with the fat. This just gets absorbed and does not cause any problems, although the actual fat injected  is much less than the stated total amount. As  techniques have improved , most of what we now inject is pure fat. All the best!

If you don’t understand what your doctor is saying, then, you should probably ask them to explain themselves.
Most plastic surgeons will always inject tumescent solution before doing liposuction.
The fact that removed from Liposuction generally always has a certain percentage of this numbing solution.
Some of that solution will still be in the fat when it’s injected.
Best,
