Using Cell saver during a BBL procedure
The Brazilian Butt Lift involves 2 surgeries combined in 1. The procedure begins with a Liposuction 360, in which the fat is removed from the abdomen, waist, sides, and back.
Although it is a non-invasive surgery, today there are more and more surgeons who recommend the use of cell saver to ensure the safety of their patients in case of a complication during the procedure, which causes the patient to lose more blood than expected.
The cell saver is a device that collects the blood that the patient loses during the operation, processes it to clean it, and then this blood is reinserted into the patient.
Although cell saver is used for operations that represent a significant blood loss for the patient, it is also being used for cosmetic procedures. This is because they might be patients with anemia problems, and besides, on certain occasions, some patients bleed more than others even when the surgical procedure is developing perfectly. Also, it is well known that even when a minimum amount of blood has been lost, the person feels weak.
In the right patient, this is a very useful technique to recover some of the blood lost in case of a complication during surgery, allowing the patient to feel better and recover faster.
