It is necessary to harvest the fat in a method that is basically a careful liposuction. I always use smaller instruments and a syringe with no machines for harvesting. This increases the time, but minimizes damage to the fat. With careful planning, your body can be improved by removing fat from your waist or thighs. Liposuction is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the world, and considering its widespread use has minimal complications compared to other procedures. I would be glad to discuss this with you more in my office. Local anesthesia can be great and we use it in some smaller breast cases. However, for most cases, general anesthesia is not only more comfortable, but also is safer. Syd Coleman Gina,

Dr. Coleman I am very leary about any procedure regarding plastic surgery. But I find that the fat grafting is alot more refreshing to hear, rather than the standard silicone and saline breast implants. What I am also happy to hear, is that you don't have to come back every ten years and have the implants replaced! One thing that worries me, is the liposuction. I really wish, they could come up with something that would not need general anesthesia at all. I know you mentioned in some small cases local is enough along with sedation. But in terms with other cases that involve much more extensive procedures. Big wish I guess! :-) Greetings! Dr. Coleman
