Laser Liposuction & Fat Transfer

Do you have stubborn body fat that won’t go away no matter how much you exercise? Conversely, do you have areas that could use a bit of plumping up? Then liposuction and fat transfer may be the right solution for you.

At SoCal Lazer & Medi-Spa we use BeautiFill, an FDA-approved laser liposuction device, to remove fat cells and deposit them in areas of the body or face that need filling in.

Laser-Assisted Liposuction

Laser-assisted liposuction clients in Huntington Beach and Newport Beach California who wish to remove fat from the face and neck, but also want good skin tone, may enhance their results by pairing facial treatment with one of our skin care options, such as a chemical peel, laser resurfacing, or dermal fillers. The BeautiFill laser lipo procedure uses laser energy under the skin to gently loosen fat from problem areas such as the abdomen, hips, flanks, and thighs. The live harvested fat cells are then injected into areas where volume has been lost, including many facial areas and certain areas of the body such as the buttocks.

If you think BeautiFill liposuction and fat transfer may be what you’re looking for, contact our office in Huntington Beach, CA. We’ll discuss your cosmetic goals, find out how laser lipolysis can help, and develop an individualized treatment plan specially designed to provide the results you seek.

How Is the Fat Transferred?

How do our laser liposuction procedures work? The BeautiFill process creates fat cells with a very high viability for natural fat transfer and grafting to volumize other areas of the body. The process of fat transfer, also known as autologous fat injection, begins with the selection of target areas in which the fat is to be injected. Once those areas are decided upon the refined fat is injected and grafted by your treatment provider.

  • Hollow cheeks
  • Hollow eyes
  • Thin lips
  • Pitted scars
  • Breasts
  • Buttocks

Patients often see results within a week or two, and fat transfer lasts far longer by years or even decades than other injectable fillers.

How Should I Prepare for BeautiFill Liposuction and Fat Transfer?

There are several steps to take when preparing for a laser liposuction procedure, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, and/or fat transfer, all of which will be discussed with you by your provider. Some of the most common steps include:

  1. Stop taking some medications, including herbal supplements, a few days before the procedure (your provider will review them with you and inform you as to which medications you need to stop taking).
  2. Stop smoking at least two weeks prior to the procedure. Smoking can interfere with healing.
  3. Do not eat or drink anything the night before your liposuction and fat transfer procedure. (It’s OK to take medications that have been approved by your treatment provider.)
  4. Do not shave or remove hair near the target areas (not shaving prevents ingrown hairs, which can complicate healing).

When developing your treatment plan, your provider will give you a comprehensive list including these steps and more so you’re fully prepared for the procedure. Prior to treatment you’ll be given a local anesthetic that will reduce discomfort during and up to 24 hours after the procedure, after which over the counter pain relievers can be used. Downtime may last a few days, after which you can return to your normal activities (barring any heavy physical labor). Diet and exercise are recommended to maintain your fat reduction results and stay in good health after laser assisted lipolysis.

What is BeautiFill Laser Fat Transfer Liposuction?

BeautiFill is a first-of-its-kind FDA-approved system for laser liposuction and fat grafting. Unlike traditional liposuction, the BeautiFill procedure uses a 1470 nm wavelength, laser-encased cannula to loosen and harvest excess fat cells from areas like the chin, hips, outer thighs, upper arms, flanks, abdomen, and other areas where it’s easy to gain weight. This low-level laser breaks up the fat without liquefying it, gently suctions it out, and rapidly processes it for transfer to another body area.

This streamlined system allows plastic surgeons to more quickly extract, prepare, and transfer natural fat to other areas of the body or face, with a greater fat cell viability rate than any other harvesting method. The laser energy also tightens lax skin, reducing the risk of sagging once the fat’s removed.

What are the pros and cons of BeautiFill Liposuction techniques?

Pros

  • The fat transfer treatment is FDA-approved and considered safe, in the hands of a board-certified plastic surgeon.
  • The device allows your surgeon to perform precision fat removal and body contouring, simultaneously with mild skin tightening.
  • The transferred fat can be used for facial rejuvenation or butt, hip, or breast enhancement.
  • You should see results after one procedure, and the volumizing effects may last years (possibly decades) longer than injectable fillers.
  • The procedure is quick, which decreases the risk of trauma to the skin and poor skin elasticity. Post-procedure pain is typically minimal.
  • The extracted fat has an exceptionally high viability rate, according to the manufacturer’s clinical study.
  • The low-level laser energy makes it easier to lose weight and remove excess fat with minimal tissue damage. This reduces your risk of bleeding, swelling, and bruising, especially compared to traditional fat extraction with tumescent liposuction.

Cons

  • You’ll need local anesthesia, which always comes with a slim chance of allergic reactions or complications.
  • While BeautiFill fat transfer can smooth deep folds, it doesn’t diminish fine lines and most other wrinkles: it can only add volume.
  • The procedure is relatively new, so it’s not yet widely available, and RealSelf members have yet to weigh in on whether it’s Worth It.
  • Not all providers believe that this fat transfer technology provides superior fat transfer results, and the manufacturer’s clinical study cited results from just 10 patients.

This streamlined system allows plastic surgeons to more quickly extract, prepare, and transfer natural fat to other areas of the body or face, with a greater fat cell viability rate than any other harvesting method. The laser energy also tightens lax skin, reducing the risk of sagging once the fat’s removed.

Is BeautiFill painful?

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you’ll be technically awake but deeply relaxed and sleepy, with no discomfort during the procedure.

If you’re having a larger fat transfer procedure or plastic surgery like a BBL, you may be given general anesthesia, so you’ll be completely asleep.

Depending on how much fat is removed, liposuction can be classified as a minor or major surgery. According to the manufacturer, BeautiFill’s laser energy results in less bruising, swelling, and fluid accumulation than other fat-harvesting procedures like traditional liposuction. Because of this, recovery should be quicker and less painful.
