Fat-based Enhancement of Breasts and Buttocks: comprehensive outline
In the ever-evolving world of cosmetic surgery, a revolutionary technique known as Expansion Vibration Lipofilling (EVL) is making waves. This innovative method, mastered by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rajat Gupta, is transforming the way fat grafting is used for breast and buttock augmentation.
EVL allows for the enhancement of the body using one's own fat, reducing the risk of rejection compared to implants. The process involves excavating fat from one part of the body through liposuction and injecting it into another. This fat is harvested using modern tools like MicroAire and VASER, which make the liposuction procedure minimally invasive and reduce trauma.
VASER uses ultrasound technology to gently liquefy fat before removal, promoting precision and less trauma to adjacent tissues. MicroAire, on the other hand, employs a vibrating cannula to emulsify and efficiently collect fat tissue, aiding in the harvesting of viable fat cells suitable for grafting.
The use of these tools in fat grafting offers benefits such as more precise fat emulsification and collection, less damage to surrounding tissues, improved fat viability, and potentially faster recovery times. However, it's essential to note that risks remain. Fat grafting may cause uneven volume, fat resorption, or fat necrosis (localized fat death), sometimes creating lumps or cysts.
Buttock augmentation, a common procedure in cosmetic surgery, is only done through fat grafting and is considered one of the most dangerous due to the risk of embolisms. The main danger lies in inserting the fat too deep into the buttocks, where it can get sucked into the vessels and cause embolisms. However, EVL uses basket cannulas, creating a wider potential space and ability to separate and equalise tissue, making deeper tissue penetration less likely.
The larger diameter of the cannula used in EVL makes its larger, blunter tip less likely to perforate a vein or vessel. This, combined with the fixed-angle cannula's ability to be rotated to increase cannula efficiency using fewer passes and oriented superficially to minimize deeper tissue penetration, further reduces these risks.
Modern technology has expanded the field of cosmetic surgery to include various procedures for enhancing different parts of the body. Breast augmentation and buttock augmentation are two common procedures that have seen significant advancements. With Dr. Rajat Gupta's expertise in EVL, patients can expect a quick recovery time of only 1-3 days, with additional swelling and bruising going away over the next few weeks.
The initial recovery time is a significant advantage, allowing for a quick return to daily activities. This, along with the boost in confidence, improved self-image, and comfort in one's body that cosmetic surgery offers, is contributing to its growing popularity.
However, it's crucial to remember that while these modern techniques offer numerous benefits, they do not eliminate the standard risks associated with fat grafting and surgery. Choosing an experienced surgeon is critical to optimize benefits and minimize risks.
