Varies: Usually less than 2mm multihole cannulas to harvest. Dr khouri has curved cannulas thru marena medical for delivery of fat.

Different strokes: There is great variations in techniques surgeons use to prepare, harvest, process, inject & provide after care. This varies in use of external expansion, weight gain, strength of vacuum, cannula harvest size, filtering/straining/centrifuging (manual vs mechanical and time), fat fraction, injection cannulas, wound care & postoperative instructions.

In evolution: I've tried a lot of different equipment. Currently, i'm using the 3mm delvecchio cannula for harvesting, and either the redhead or the cytori puregraft for filtering, then sterile18 g singl- use injection cannulas for the injection part.

Turn down: Suction on machine. Wash fat with antibiotic solution. There are sterile traps available. Inject in multiple planes.

Fat Gaft Breast Augm: The techniques for fat harvesting are the superficial liposuction cannula (3 mm or 4 mm). Some are recommending VASER liposuctioned fats, but I am still on the fence if the fat cells are damaged. Others offer Water Jet Lipo this also adds time to operation. Next is how the fat is processed. Centrifuge, decanting, draining, etc. Than finally the injection techniques. I prefer the Coleman droplet..
