This is a really insightful question, and it shows you're thinking about maximizing your procedure results but unfortunately, blood lost during liposuction cannot be used to create PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for reinjection. Here's why 1. PRP must be drawn from whole, fresh blood specifically from a sterile blood draw taken before the procedure. The blood collected during liposuction is mixed with: • Tumescent fluid (a mixture of saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine) • Broken fat cells • Oil • Cellular debris • and potentially contaminants from the surgical field 2. PRP requires intact platelets, which are extremely sensitive. The platelets in liposuction aspirate (the fluid that's suctioned out) are usually damaged or non-viable because of the mechanical trauma of the cannula and suction. 3. Sterility is key — PRP is injected into the body (often the face, scalp, or buttocks in BBLs), and any contamination from liposuction fluid would pose a high risk of infection. What can be done • A separate blood draw is typically performed during your surgery (or before) to prepare PRP. • Many plastic surgeons do combine PRP with fat grafting (including for BBLs or facial fat transfer) to improve graft survival and healing. • PRP can help Boost fat graft survival rates Reduce bruising and swelling Accelerate tissue healing
