Does liposuction method matter for a BBL?

Thank-you for your question! Liposuction methods do matter when harvesting fat for BBl. The fat cells need to be intact and viable to survive after being injected in the buttocks. The methods that best preserve the cells are syringe liposuction and Waterjet liposuction, which are the methods that I routinely use for BBL. When carefully performed, however , PAl is okay for BBl. Please discuss your concerns with your board certified Plastic surgeon who can help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Thank you for your question. So lets clear up some misinformation first. The VASER technique, which I've been using for over 20 years, has been extensively studied and there is no fat melting or death from it's use. It is very advantageous for extracting fat from very fibrous areas such as males, gynecomastia, blacks (tend to be more fibrous in the fat compartments), previous liposuction or Coolsculpting patients. The VASER does not remove fat! It breaks up the fat in the deep and superficial fat layers to allow for better fat extraction and more uniform result. It is excellent for body sculpting. The fat is extracted via liposuction using the traditional method or the PAL method. I prefer the PAL, it is faster and it can be used to reinject the fat for a BBL. Laser liposuction does kill fat and that fat should not be reinjected. Often, people confuse the VASER with the LASER (i.e. Smartlipo)
See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Vaser is excellent for breaking up fibrous fat and helping to remove that fat but it is not mandatory for liposuction or for BBL.
