Laser for Butt Lifting - Lasers with a Brazilian Butt Lift
With Brazilian butt lifts the goal is to transfer fat from unwanted areas and use it to enhance the profile of the buttocks. The fat that is transferred should be treated so that it will survive. Transferring fat that will die will lead to complications like infection and loss of contour improvement. Smart lipo, laser lipo, cool lipo, ultrasonic lipo - anything where there is increased fat cell destruction means the fat you transfer may not survive. Traditional liposuction should be used. Now that does not mean you can't have other liposuction techniques at the same time, but that fat shouldn't be used as part of the contouring for the Brazilian Butt Lift. I hope this helps.
Clinical Context
Fat used for a BBL is harvested gently so the cells stay alive for transfer. After removal, it is processed to separate out blood and fluid before being reinjected. Surgeons typically place it in small amounts across many layers rather than large deposits, which helps it integrate into the surrounding tissue. Donor sites are chosen based on where enough fat is available without creating visible irregularities in the skin.
