LASER LIPO AND FAT TRANSFER

What Is BeautiFill®?

As you age, you will likely see a progressive deterioration of facial firmness or drooping in particular body parts. This natural process could cause you to seem tired and older. To address these cosmetic concerns, Dr. Donald Balder is excited to be the only provider on the GULF COAST (MS, LA, AL) who has this state of the are device to perform an effective solution known as laser lipo AND fat transfer employing the latest BeautiFill device at our office in Gulfport, MS. This minimally invasive solution delivers laser light into the skin to safely collect undesired tissue from areas, such as the abs, hips, legs, and chin. The laser component also tightens the areas of skin overlying where the tissue is removed. The harvested tissue (viable fat or adipose cells with associated stem cells) is then reinjected into the face or any body part, like the hands, to provide smooth, youthful-appearing fullness. With this aesthetic procedure, you can augment the cheeks, the eye area, or the smile lines around the mouth and nose. As another option, we can utilize the unwanted fat for body sculpting by boosting plumpness in the buttocks or breasts. This effective solution requires minimal to no recovery time, making it a beneficial choice compared to conventional fat grafting.

What Should I Expect During the BeautiFill Treatment?

Laser liposuction and fat transfer is a fairly quick procedure carried out at our Gulfport, MS office. To perform this treatment, we apply a local anesthetic so you can stay comfortable the entire time. After cleaning the targeted site, Dr. Balder will use a delicate laser instrument to remove unwanted areas of hanging fat or tissues and retrieve a viable tissue specimen, if fat transfer is desired. Then, the fat tissue will be immediately preserved with the BeautiFill fat transfer solution. Once it has been prepped, Dr. Balder will precisely administer the fat into certain body regions, like the buttocks, breasts, face, hip dip, or hands, to enhance volume and provide a smooth, youthful appearance. Post operative garments are provided, and detailed instructions and follow up are provided for optimal results.

What Should I Expect After Laser Liposuction and Fat Transfer with BeautiFill?

Following a BeautiFill laser liposuction and fat transfer procedure at Mississippi Institute of Weight Loss Surgery & Gulf Coast Aesthetics, you may experience some degree of discomfort, along with swelling and bruising. For those who undergo treatments in larger areas, the use of compression garments will be needed, serving to mitigate swelling and promote a more effective healing process. While resuming your day-to-day activities is possible the day after the procedure, it is advised to abstain from strenuous tasks and exercises for a few weeks, giving your body the necessary time to heal adequately. It's essential to note that the full effects of the procedure might not be immediately visible and could take several months to manifest completely. Dr. Balder will provide detailed aftercare instructions, which are crucial to follow meticulously, to ensure a smooth healing process and minimize potential complications. Periodic follow-up appointments may be necessary, allowing close monitoring of your progress and the assurance of proper healing.
