For ALMI (Autologous Lipocyte Micronized Injection), the most common fat donor sites are areas where you have stubborn fat, such as the love handles, abdomen, or thighs. These locations are typically preferred because they tend to have sufficient fat for extraction and are easily accessible.The quality of the fat and its ability to survive the transfer is more important than the specific location it’s taken from. As long as the procedure is performed by a skilled provider, any of these areas can be effective for fat harvesting without affecting the donor site’s appearance.
Please see my previous response for more in-depth explanation.The harvest site makes little difference.It would be nice to have the harvest of fat give anesthetic improvement.Some plastic surgeons aren’t good at Liposuction and can potentially leave disfigurement in the process of simply harvesting fat.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD
Yes, ALMI (Autologous Lipocyte Micronized Injection) generally offers a higher fat survival rate compared to traditional fat grafting due to its advanced processing of fat and stem cells. This leads to better integration and more predictable results. Volume can vary but typically 20cc or less is...
The ALMI procedure typically takes less than 45 minutes and is considered a minimally invasive outpatient treatment. It doesn’t require general anesthesia, which means you won’t need to be put under. Instead, local anesthesia or numbing agents are used to ensure comfort during the fat ext...
Adding PRP to ALMI enhances the treatment by improving fat graft survival, stimulating collagen production, and accelerating healing. PRP’s growth factors boost tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and minimize downtime, leading to firmer, smoother skin and longer-lasting results. This c...
