Dr. Douglas Steinbrech joins Dr. Bass to discuss his game-changing concept of body banking. Instead of tossing out fat after liposuction, body banking preserves it and strategically reinjects it into areas like the chest, shoulders, arms, or buttocks to enhance your shape and keep your body in balance.
It’s not just about taking fat away. It’s about sculpting, reshaping, and maximizing what you already have. This technique can also reduce the risk of that frustrating post-lipo “rebound fat,” where your body tries to make up for what was lost by storing fat in all the wrong places.
Hear why fat transfer to the breasts doesn’t always go as planned, and why fat tends to “stick” better in some areas than others.
Drs. Bass and Steinbrech also discuss how body banking may help prevent visceral fat buildup and related health problems, the role age plays in fat graft success, and options for people who don’t have much fat to begin with but still want a sculpted, athletic look.
