Fat grafting with ultrasound for safety?

Asked By:Jjbean22 in New York, New York

Hello, I was wondering why no doctors are using ultrasound guidance for facial fat grafting? It seems there are still risks of injecting into a vein/causing embolism that can be easily reduced by implementing this safety measure. If it prevents catastrophic outcomes, why is noone using it?
