Is Airscuplt fat graft a better option than traditional lipo and fat transfer?

Question

I’m intrested in a breast fat graft and was wondering if the airscuplt method (laser lipo) is safer with respect to getting liposuction lumps and possibly necrosis. is this a better option than traditional lipo and fat transfer?

Here, is a little secret. The biggest factor in determining the results of your liposuction is the skill of the doctor. Period! There are many different platforms out there like Smartlipo® FunLipo® AirSculpt®, Vaser®, Renuvion® TickleLipo®, Beautifill® MicroAire®, to name a few. I have most of these devices but in the end they are just tools. They save me time for sure, and I have my favorites, but I'm not even going to say which ones are my favorite because it doesn't matter. A doctor performing liposuction is like a sculptor, there are some innate artistic skills that you have to be born with and then there are the hours and hours of honing your skills, networking with other artists, seeking out the masters and mentoring under them. Finally, if you are going to use these tools, you have to learn how to use them properly. What I just said for liposuction goes for fat transfers as well. Fat transfer is a delicate art and a science. You can't just stuff a breast with liposuctioned fat. It may not take or it may get infected and it may not look right. Please direct your research on the doctor rather than the machine.

There are only two variables that matter when it comes to liposuction and or fat transfer procedures.
They are the patient’s individual candidacy for the procedure and the surgeons skill and experience.
Equipment has really nothing to do with surgical outcomes.
The difference in equipment is all marketing spin people used to purposely confuse you.
Elite‘s greatest advantage is hiring talented surgeons but typically have far greater experience because they specialize exclusively in liposuction and fat transfer.
I highly recommend having in person consultations with one of their providers.
Fat transfer is good for improving breast volume but does not change the shape of the breast.
Most patients get 1/2 cup increase in size.
Even with in the same company they will be different doctors with different levels of experience. Ask them who has the greatest experience with this procedure or who gets the best results.
Best,
