I have found a clinic that will do (lipo) and fat transfer in central London. The appointment lasts an 1 1/2 to 2 hours and is done manually with no machine. I'm wondering if this is worth my time and money as I want to see a considerable change and I'm not sure if this can offer me that. Unfortunately it is a new procedure they are offering so they cannot proved me with pictures of past patients. A look on the web yielded no results either. So here I am. Help me please! *bats eyelashes*

Answer: How worthwhile is manual lipo with the syringe/needle technique only - no machine? Thank you for your question. You do not state where is the fat transfer being placed. Face? breasts? buttocks? It makes a lot of difference. If they told you 1-2 hours, I assume it is fat transfer to the face. I use the syringe technique for fat collection to the face, since this is a relatively small amount (20-50cc) and can be done under local anesthesia only. Major liposuction should be done under sedation if fat is transferred to the other areas.A word of caution. You do not want to be the first in a clinic just starting out offering a "new" procedure, most likely at a reduced rate. Get consultations with board certified plastic surgeons to be properly evaluated, who can show you results (greater than 6 months-1 year), can educate you on expectations, complications and their treatments, etc. Good luck.

Answer: Liposuction candidate Dear moneyfixeseverything, I would suggest you to avoid "new" techniques, especially if there are no before-after photos. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
