Laser Lipo with Fat Transfer is Better Than Traditional Liposuction!

For decades traditional liposuction has been used to successfully remove fat. But “old fashioned” liposuction (aka tumescent liposuction) came with a lot of discomfort and a significant amount of swelling and bruising – with a fairly lengthy recovery period. Additionally, while traditional liposuction improved body contours by reducing certain areas, it was unable to enhance shape or proportion by adding volume where needed.

The good news is that Goldenberg Dermatology in Manhattan offers revolutionary BeautiFill laser-assisted lipo that solves all of these problems. BeautiFill is truly the next generation of liposuction! In addition to permanently removing unwanted fat with less discomfort and faster recovery, BeautiFill also enables you to use the removed fat cells to fill in areas of the body where extra volume needs to be added or restored.

In this article, Manhattan dermatologist and fat loss expert Dr. Gary Goldenberg explains why BeautiFill laser lipo with fat transfer is superior to traditional tumescent liposuction procedures.

Less Discomfort & Faster Recovery with Laser Lipo

To begin with, state-of-the-art BeautiFill lipo is laser assisted – which makes the fat removal process faster and gentler on the body – which means less discomfort, fewer side effects and less downtime.

During traditional liposuction small incisions are made in the body, and a tube called a cannula is manually manipulated under the skin to mechanically loosen the fat by “brute force,” before suctioning it from the body.

Manually or mechanically forcing the fat cells away from the rest of the tissue during liposuction can be quite painful, and result in substantial bruising and swelling, and a long recovery period. And, more swelling means it takes much longer to see the liposuction results, which are only visible after the swelling subsides.

However, BeautiFill lipo uses laser energy to gently separate the fat cells from the body, without the need for force. This results in less discomfort during the procedure and during recovery, as well as a less downtime and a more rapid recovery. And, less swelling also means you’ll see results sooner!

BeautiFill Lipo with Fat Transfer Also Tightens Skin

Additionally, the thermal energy used during BeautiFill lipo offers the added benefit of simultaneous skin tightening – which traditional “mechanical” lipo does not offer.

Old fashioned liposuction often left loose, sagging skin in the area of fat removal. But BeautiFill’s 1470nm wavelength laser energy creates controlled heating in the treatment area, triggering a cascade of physiological responses that lead to skin contraction and remodeling.

When the laser energy is delivered, it reaches a temperature of approximately 47-50 degrees Celsius in the subcutaneous tissue. This precise heating causes immediate collagen fiber contraction and initiates neocollagenesis – the formation of new collagen.  The initial skin contraction can result in immediate tissue tightening of approximately 15-20%. Then, a secondary tightening effect occurs over the following 3 to 6 months through the wound healing response, which stimulates fibroblasts to increase production of new collagen and elastin fibers.

Additionally, the heat triggers the release of heat shock proteins and growth factors that promote tissue remodeling. This process, known as fibroplasia, results in the formation of stronger, more organized collagen structures that provide long-term skin tightening benefits.

Clinical studies have shown that the dual action of immediate collagen contraction and ongoing collagen remodeling can produce skin tightening of up to 40% in treated areas, significantly more than traditional liposuction methods! So while liposuction and BeautiFill laser-assisted lipo both permanently remove fat from the body, only BeautiFill tightens the skin in the surrounding area. This means your fat loss is more noticeable with BeautiFill, because there is not a layer of loose, sagging skin remaining.

BeautiFill Lipo With Fat Transfer

Perhaps the biggest difference, however between BeautiFill Laser lipo and traditional liposuction is the ability to reuse the removed fat to restore balance and proportion to other areas of the body. Standard liposuction destroys and then discards the fat that is removed from the body. But BeautiFill laser lipo preserves the extracted living fat cells for re-implantation into areas where they are needed, including the breast, buttocks, wrinkles, lines, sagging facial skin and more.

BeautiFill’s innovative laser liposuction system combines fat removal with simultaneous fat harvesting for immediate autologous fat transfer. The system’s unique design maintains sterility while processing the extracted fat, resulting in exceptionally high rates of viable (“living’) fat cells for transfer – typically achieving 90-95% cell viability compared to only 50%  with traditional fat transfer methods.

The 1470nm wavelength laser gently separates fat cells from surrounding tissue while preserving their structural integrity. The system’s specialized cannula then collects these viable cells using precise, automatically-regulated pressure control. This gentle extraction process, combined with minimal handling of the fat cells, helps maintain cell wall integrity and increases survival rates after transfer. The collected fat is automatically processed and purified in a sterile environment, eliminating the need for manual processing steps that can damage cells.

The high-quality, purified fat can be immediately transferred to areas needing volume enhancement, such as the face, breasts, or buttocks. Because BeautiFill harvests and processes fat cells so efficiently, less initial fat volume needs to be collected to achieve the desired results. Clinical studies have shown that the high viability of BeautiFill-harvested fat cells leads to more predictable and longer-lasting results compared to traditional fat transfer methods.

The autologous nature of the fat transfer provides several advantages over synthetic fillers. The transferred fat cells become permanently integrated into the surrounding tissue, providing natural-looking, long-term results. Additionally, the transferred fat contains valuable stem cells and growth factors that can improve skin quality and texture in the treated areas. Because patients receive their own tissue, there’s no risk of allergic reaction or rejection, making it an exceptionally safe option for volume enhancement.

This advanced fat transfer capability allows Dr. Goldenberg to achieve comprehensive body contouring by removing fat from areas of excess and strategically redistributing it to areas needing enhancement, all within a single procedure!
