Keep reading to discover how this procedure works and explore the potential side effects of body sculpting with BeautiFill.
What is BeautiFill?
BeautiFill is a cutting-edge body sculpting procedure that combines laser-assisted liposuction (aka laser lipolysis) and fat transfer techniques to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results.
The procedure uses a specialized laser that gently liquefies unwanted fat before removing it from areas where you have trouble slimming down. The fat is then purified and prepared for injection into another part of the body that can benefit from volume enhancement, such as the face, breasts, or buttocks.
The benefits of BeautiFill
BeautiFill offers several advantages over traditional liposuction and fat transfer methods.
First, it's minimally invasive. BeautiFill requires only small incisions, which result in less scarring and a quicker recovery time. The procedure also allows for more precise fat removal since laser technology facilitates more accurate targeting of fat deposits and reduces the risk of damage to surrounding tissues.
Laser liposuction with BeautiFill also results in high fat cell viability and increases the likelihood of long-lasting results.
As opposed to other body sculpting methods, individuals who choose BeautiFill experience reduced downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days of the procedure.
BeautiFill potential side effects and risks
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects and risks associated with BeautiFill body sculpting. It's essential to be aware of these before committing to the procedure.
Some common side effects may include:
- Swelling and bruising, which typically subside within a few weeks.
- Pain and discomfort, which are typically mild to moderate, and are usually managed with over-the-counter or prescribed pain medications.
- Temporary numbness in the treated areas.
- The potential for infection, which is rare but is an inherent risk that comes with all surgical incisions. (Following Dr. Navarkal's post-operative care instructions can help minimize this risk.)
- Irregularities or asymmetry in the treated areas, which are uncommon and can often be corrected with additional treatments or minor touch-ups.
Who is a good candidate for BeautiFill?
Not everyone is an optimal candidate for BeautiFill. You must have an adequate donor site with enough subcutaneous fat just under the skin to transfer to the recipient site. (BeautiFill laser liposuction cannot remove visceral fat attached to the organs.
Candidates should be generally healthy, without healing or circulation disorders, and preferably nonsmokers.
If you have significant skin laxity, it's important to note that this procedure does not address sagging skin. That will require a separate skin tightening or removal treatment.
