Is it cheaper to get lipo or fat transferred? And is it safe to get them both at the same time?

Question

Kenneth Bermudez, MD, FACS · Answer

Fat transfer is more expensive that just liposuction, because it takes the fat that is removed from liposuction, then processes it and injects it into a specific site. It can be very time consuming and with that, requires longer OR times, anesthesia and costs.It is safe to get them done at the same time, but make sure you go to a board certified plastic surgeon who does a lot of these procedures.Hope this helps,

I frequently do both fat transfer and liposuction together.  It all depends on what you are looking for.  Please see a liposuction specialist/cosmetic surgeon for a formal evaluation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Lipo and BBL are done together, you need Lipo in order to obtain the fat you need to transfer to buttocks. It isn't considered too much to have both procedure at the same time. You can have Lipo without BBL if you think you don't need extra size or projection on the buttocks, but, like I said, you can do both at once, and it will not be 'too much', and it will be more affordable, depending on what Doctor you choose. I hope this answer was helpful.

It is necessary that if you want fat transfer a liposuction has to be performed also. Usually the fat transfer raises up a little the price than when only getting liposuction .it is perfectly safe to have them done together , since there is no transfer without lipo.Best wishes

Liposuction is usually part of the fat transfer procedure. This is the part of the harvest process.  Best of luck.
