For a BBL which lipo machine provides the greatest % of fat survival? Vaser, SAFE lipo, powered lipo, Tumescent liposuction?

 It is unethical  to recommend in one’s “opinion” any  technology as being superior in another. The scientific fact is that there is no scientific data that shows better volume maintenance with any of these technologies. The vaser study quoting 80% survival is in question based on its scientific merit. First of all, it is impossible to know true percent survival when fat is inserted into fat. Surgeons, researchers and patients all confuse fat survival with volume maintenance and this is a fallacy.  In summary, this is an area that is very poorly studied and there are numerous different opinions and you will hear a lot of Bad Information. Select a plastic surgeon who has good before and after volume maintenance and worry less about the technique used. as a surgeon, you can’t buy your way with technology into being a good surgeon. 

The survival rate after fat grafting is partially dependent upon the technology used, custom cannulas for fat removal, decantation canisters, Re-injection systems such as the Wells Johnson which I use and recommend, patient health and anatomy and surgical technique of grafting. Water jet or bodyjet liposuction, powered liposuction, and VASER can all be good solutions and have comparable survival rates based on industry sponsored studies. You can read most of those with a grain of salt. The bottom line is that an experienced plastic surgeon will obtain good results for you. Look closely at their before and afters, patient testimonials, etc.
