Body contouring through fat transfer is rapidly rising in popularity among those looking to attain the perfect figure through cosmetic surgery. Awake Vaser Liposuction fat transfer, also called fat grafting, is a cutting edge class of procedures that have brought a more natural look and feel to cosmetic enhancement. And at Aesthetic and Cosmetic Surgeons in Los Angeles, we are at the forefront of the craze.

This revolutionary treatment simultaneously addresses two problem areas, leading to a wildly improved overall shape. The first part of the process is Awake VASER liposuction from targeted problem areas. But instead of discarding that fat, it is purified and transplanted into body parts that could benefit from some more volume. This safe and efficient body reshaping technique doesn’t come with any of the risks that come with implanting foreign objects in the body, or the use of general anesthesia. In Los Angeles, arguably the global capitol of cosmetic surgery, Awake VASER liposuction with fat transfer has taken a pole position in the marketplace. But what exactly does the process entail?

The Awake Vaser Liposuction Fat Transfer Process

First, the basics. Fat transfer is a cosmetic process that utilizes a patient’s own unwanted fat to enhance or reconstruct other body parts. The technique comprises three phases: fat harvesting, fat purification, and fat injections.

1. Harvesting: The procedure starts with liposuction. Tiny 2-4 millimeter incisions are used to insert a thin tube (cannula) into the desired areas. Then, the excess fat is genty separated from the surrounding tissue and suctioned out.
2. Purification: The fat goes through a cleansing process to remove all impurities, ensuring that only healthy, useful fat cells are utilized in the fat graft.
3. Injection: The purified fat is carefully injected into targeted locations to increase volume and improve body contour. Fat injections can be used to enhance a wide range of body parts. But some of the most popular procedures include fat transfer to breasts, fat transfer to buttocks (commonly called BBL) and fat transfer to face.

Benefits of Awake Vaser Liposuction Fat Transfer

Awake Vaser Liposuction and fat transfer have multiple advantages over old augmentation techniques. As was briefly alluded to earlier, Awake VASER liposuction comes with much lower risk of complications and higher overall safety than other similarly transformative cosmetic procedures. General anesthesia is hard on the body, and can come with a whole swath of potential side effects ranging from longer recovery periods to death. And then there’s the body’s acceptance of the new enhancements. Foreign bodies like breast implants or butt implants are sometimes rejected outright by the body. Sometimes, the substances used in these objects cause allergic reactions. With liposuction with fat transfer, the only thing entering the patient’s body is their own fat.

Fat transfers also feel and appear much more natural, as living tissue is transferred: just the opposite of synthetic implants or fillers. For people who want to avoid enhancement that appears fake, these procedures are quickly becoming the go-to.

Another reason people opt for Awake VASER liposuction with fat transfer is the previously described dual benefit. Debulking areas that hold unwanted fat and adding fat to an area that could use a boost kills two birds with one stone. This holistic approach to body sculpting is particularly appealing to those who want to enhance their overall body contours.

Other Fat Transfer Procedures Gaining Popularity in Los Angeles

At this point, most people have seen or heard of the male or female Brazilian Butt Lift, and many are also aware of the possibility of breast augmentation with fat transfer. But in Los Angeles, Awake VASER liposuction fat transfer is being used for a variety of other procedures. Some of the most trendy applications include:

1. Facial Rejuvenation: We’ve all heard the term “baby fat” used to describe the appearance of a youthful face. But as we age, that fat sags down, sometimes settling into a double chin and leaving behind gaunt, hollow cheeks. Fat grafting can effectively repopulate the right parts of the face with volume, filling up wrinkles, unwanted lines and hollow areas. This technique rejuvenates the face, leaving behind a young, fresh profile.
2. Hand Rejuvenation: Bony hands are another hallmark of old age that people have turned to Awake VASER liposuction with fat transfer to fix. This application can make hands look younger and fuller.
