Will RF or cavitation “melt” my BBL fat?

TL;DR: BBL fat addition is relatively deep but with the wrong technologies (RF microneedling, extreme intensity RF, HIFU) fat can still be affected.

On the other hand, properly applied RF/cavitation, focused on the dermis and hypodermis, will not affect BBL in the slightest and will help with skin tightening/lifting and cellulite reduction on the buttock area.

Improving cellulite and skin firmness after a BBL procedure without reducing any fat/volume

Can RF/cavitation burn my BBL fat?

Brazilian butt lift surgery (BBL) enlarges and lifts the buttocks by adding volume, through the addition of fat.

However, BBL does not improve cellulite neither it changes the quality of the skin in the slightest. For this reason, many people choose RF treatment for skin tightening and cellulite reduction; or cavitation treatment for cellulite reduction.

(Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the strongest skin tightening / cellulite technologies known today.)

However, many people are afraid that these technologies may reduce the amount of fat added via the BBL procedure.

Theoretically, yes, everything is possible, especially if you use the wrong RF (RF microneedling, extreme power RF) or cavitation (HIFU) or if you don’t know how to use them.

Pinpointing RF and ultrasound cavitation only on the skin and avoiding the deep fat

However, at the clinic we can pinpoint with great accuracy the depth of treatment and can ensure that our RF and/or ultrasound does not go anywhere near below the intermediate fascia, where BBL fat is inserted.

Furthermore, we use cellulite ultrasonography to visualise the different tissues and their depths.

So we can guarantee that our RF and cavitation will reduce cellulite and improve skin firmness without affecting the BBL fat.

If you are interested in reducing cellulite and tightening your skin after BBL the best thing to do is enquire at a few clinics in your area and ask if they can focus the treatment specifically on the dermis and hypodermis and avoid the subcutaneous adipose tissue.
