What type of liposuction is recommended for BBL?

Question

Which type of liposuction is recommended for BBL and why? Will Laser liposuction result in less swelling in bruising? I want to do aggressive lipo for my BBL

Ricardo L. Rodriguez, MD · Answer

I have been performing liposuction for over 25 years and fat transfers for over 10 and can tell you, without a doubt, that the best technique available is traditional tumescent liposuction using small diameter cannulas.Ultrasonic and laser liposuction techniques work by dissolving or destroying fat cells. As the essential first step in a Brazilian Butt Lift, fat extraction must be done correctly, using low extraction pressures, to get healthy, viable fat cells that can then be processed and re-injected.Following your board certified plastic surgeon's post-op instructions and wearing your compression garment will help control swelling.Best wishes!

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a procedure to augment/enhance the gluteal and hip areas with fat harvested from other body areas using liposuction. Fat survival after fat transfer is critical for a good BBL result.  Laser liposuction, but heating the tissues to "shrink" the skin, may affect the viability of the fat to be transferred for a BBL. Traditional, mechanically assisted ( micro-air) and ultrasonic ( vaser) liposuction modalities may be safer than laser liposuction for fat survival in fat transplantation for BBL

HelloLaser lipo is not recommended for BBL because it damages the fat cells that are to be collected for the fat graft (BBL) this can cause a higher reabsorption of fat an greater risk of fat necrosis .But LASER  can be used after enough fat is collected for the BBL.Before this i strongly recommend the conventional entumescent liposuction for collecting the necessary fat for the BBL.
