What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a type of cosmetic surgery. It removes unwanted excess fat to improve body appearance and to smooth irregular body shapes. The procedure is sometimes called body contouring.
Liposuction may be useful for contouring under the chin, neck, cheeks, upper arms, breasts, abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, calves, and ankle areas.
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting and fat transplantation, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves removing fat from one area of the body and transplanting it into another area for the purpose of adding or restoring volume.
Why would I choose Liposuction?
You might choose Liposuction for a number of reasons, like enhancing the size or shape of your breasts or buttocks and or removing fat from unwanted areas.
Natural fat transfer
A natural fat transfer or fat grafting is a minimally invasive Liposuction procedure where the practice removes fat from areas with a surplus or adequate amount of fat, such as the thighs, abdomen, or flanks. The team then carefully injects the fat into other areas for enhancement with natural-looking, subtle results.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy can also be utilized to further boost results. The platelets in your blood contain growth factors that assist in the natural healing process. PRP is richer in platelets compared to what’s normally found in your blood.
The team draws your blood and uses a special centrifuge machine to separate and concentrate the platelets. They then merge the highly concentrated platelets and growth factors with your blood, ready for use in the fat transfer.
The practice adds the PRP to increase retention and viability of your transferred fat by promoting healthy blood supply to the area.
