I’m considering fat transfer via laser lipo, but concerned about the effects from heat on the reused fat. What are the pros and cons of the different liposuction techniques to get most natural and stable breast result?
Answer: What type of liposuction is best for a breast fat transfer? Many varieties of liposuction are available including ultrasonic, smart lipo, laser liposuction, vaser lipo, power assisted liposuction, and conventional tumescent liposuction. The results depend very little on the method used and very much on the board certified plastic surgeon selected. I prefer tumescent lipo for breast fat transfer; the fat is placed within the subcutaneous fat (underneath the skin, around the gland, and underneath the gland) with one tiny incision under each breast.In general, 200 cc per breast is typically the upper limit of fat injection recommended by most plastic surgeons. It is not that more cannot be injected; but on average, this has been determined to be the most that can be expected to live during one transfer. Multiple transfers would be required for additional cc's. In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred donor sites but fat from other areas can be used.

Answer: Fat transferred I do not use laser or ThermiTight, radiofrequency, when removing fat for a transfer. Once the fat is removed, the laser or radiofrequency can be used to help tighten the skin.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Hi, thank you for your inquiry. I would not recommend the laser liposuction. The laser damages the fat and may decrease the survival rate of the adipose tissue because of the intense heat the laser transmits in-order to destroy the fat tissues. Survival rate with use of conventional tumescent liposuction is about 60% which would give you best chances of having achieved your goals.

Answer: Best Techniques with Fat Transfer to the Breasts It's best not to apply energy to fat that is to be transferred. I frequently utilize laser and/or radiofrequency (Renuvion) during our liposuction procedures that also include fat transer to the breasts but the energy comes after the fat is removed. The energy is applied to the remaining space in order to acheive tightening.

Answer: Liposuction for fat transfer I would not recommend the laser liposuction. The laser damages the fat and may decrease the survival. The usually survival is 60% with conventional tumescent liposuction. Also, transferring fat to the breast can be somewhat difficult because of the geometry. Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. Often times it results in a more pancake looking breast. It is best to transfer mostly central, a smaller amount peripheral and may need to be done several times to get the projection you desire.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
