What is BeautiFill?
BeautiFill is an FDA-approved procedure that uses a thin laser wand to loosen and harvest excess fat cells from areas like the hips, thighs, flanks, and abdomen. The first device of its kind, it uses the laser to break up the fat (without liquefying it), gently suctions it out, and rapidly processes it.
This streamlined system allows medical providers to more quickly extract, prepare, and transfer fat to other areas of the body or face. At the same time, the laser energy tightens lax skin, reducing the risk of sagging once the fat’s removed.
In a process called autologous fat transfer, this refined fat can then be grafted by your surgeon into other areas to restore volume to cheeks, hollow eyes, and thin lips while softening nasolabial folds. It can also fill pitted scars or create more fullness in the breasts or buttocks.
According to a clinical study funded by the manufacturer, the most significant advantage of harvesting fat with BeautiFill is its average fat viability rate of more than 95%.
With traditional fat harvesting methods (like tumescent liposuction), 30–50% of fat cells used in breast fat transfer typically die within three months, and facial fat grafting patients may lose 40–60% of transferred cells. These poor viability rates have made fat transfer results unpredictable and have carried risks of contour irregularities and asymmetry.
If BeautiFill results continue to live up to the promise of that clinical trial, it could take a lot of the uncertainty out of all kinds of fat transfer procedures.
What is Fat Grafting?
What is the difference between a regular fat transfer and a BeautiFill fat transfer?
During a traditional fat grafting procedure, patients first undergo fat removal treatment with liposuction, after which the fat is purified in a separate centrifuge machine. This process can take several hours and often requires general anesthesia. After this, the fat is injected into the patient’s desired treatment area to create a more appealing shape and overall look. While traditional lipo plus fat transfer certainly has its benefits, there are a number of exciting advantages with laser lipo and BeautiFill fat grafting, including:
- No general anesthesia required
- Fast, in-office procedure
- Virtually no downtime
- Longer-lasting results
- Higher percentage of fat survives transfer
Where can BeautiFill be used?
Laser liposuction is often used to remove stubborn fat from areas, including:
- Abdomen
- Hips
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Flanks
- Chest (male)
- Knees
- Chin/neck
The fat is then processed, purified, and strategically injected to restore lost volume or simply augment the size and shape of another area, such as:
- Cheeks
- Under the eyes
- Face
- Breasts
- Calves (men)
- Buttocks
