I see online that there are two ways that doctors do BBL. Some doctors purify the fat, and some doctors (in Miami) seem to not purify the fat (at most add antibiotics but no additional processing.) Why not? Aren't you injecting dead cells when not purifying, thus leading to large volume loss?

Answer: Understanding medicine and differentiating between science and sales Terms like purifying fat are in reality sales terms. Call Fred harvested from Liposuction is inherently both viable and unreliable. there’s no possible way to separate the surface that sells whose membranes have been damaged on a microscopic level. Purifying fat generally refers to removing the numbing solution that’s injected prior to harvesting fat through liposuction. Circle K potentially add more numbing solution and separate the fat for a second time What does differentiate between viable and non-viable fat. There are generally three components to fat removed from Liposuction. Watery solution that is primarily based on the numbing solution injected prior to Liposuction, particles of fat which are generally viable with some potentially damaged cells at the periphery of the particles and oil from ruptured fat cells. There is no harm in injecting the watery component that was previously injected for the purpose of liposuction. The amount of liquid fat obtained during liposuction it’s relatively small when good technique is used. there are potentially advantages in removing the fat layer and this is best done in centrifuging the fat which will separate the harvest event into the three different components. This is often done for facial fat transfer procedures. Volumes of fat needed for body contouring such as the BBL or breast fed transfer requires volume so fat that are generally be on wood it’s reasonable to treat with a centrifuge. In the end there are only two variables to determine fat transfer results. Those two variables are patient candidacy and surgeon skill. In the end any other variable is relatively insignificant. Circles with sufficient scaler experience know how to do the procedure and the outcomes are not related to processing a fat, the use of lasers, micro cannulas or any other marketing term. Any technique that is clearly advantageous generally becomes adopted assisted care within medicine. anybody interested in fat transfer procedures should first and foremost get a clear understanding of their candidacy for the procedure. The second step is provider selection which is best done through multiple in person consultations. During each consultation ask each provider to open up your portfolio and show you their entire collection before and after pictures. Did that transfer make absolutely sure that after pictures were taken a minimum of three months from the date of the procedure. Recognize the fat transfer procedures are in fact two operations done at the same time. They are Liposuction and fat transfer. Patients need to be assessed for both Liposuction and fat transfer and likewise need to vett plastic surgeons regarding skills for both Liposuction and fat transfer results. Ask providers to show only before and after pictures of previous patient who have similar body characteristics to your own. Ask providers to show you examples of excellent results, average results and results that did not turn out as well as they had hoped. Specifically what a revision rate and revision policy is, Specifically what a revision rate and revision policy is. For reference and experience provider should have no difficulty showing you at least 50 set a before and after pictures of commonly performed procedures, Look carefully at all areas treated to make sure there are no skin contour irregularities anywhere in the areas treated with Liposuction. I suggest patience start with a minimum of five in person consultations and continue scheduling more unless they feel very confident they found the most talented and experience provider in their community. I recommend people avoid virtual consultations and especially avoid traveling long distances for elective surgical procedures. In the end patient candidacy and surgeon skills are the only variables that really matter. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
