FAT HARVESTING

The harvesting of fat allows doctors to perform autologous fat harvest, meaning the patient’s fat is removed from one area and can be injected into another. New techniques facilitate the harvesting process, including use of water-jet assisted liposuction with Body-Jet to remove the fat. Using Body-Jet, doctors can harvest fat efficiently. This method usually does not require a lengthy centrifuging process to remove excess fluid. The AquaShapeFT® LipoCollector™ is suitable for the collection of fat intended for re-injection or laboratory purposes.
