Body-Jet® Liposuction in San Jose and Palo Alto
New technology has provided several enhancements to traditional liposuction. In San Jose and Palo Alto, plastic surgeon Dr. Daryl K. Hoffman is offering one of the newest innovations: Body-Jet®. This liposuction technique uses a spray of fluid to help loosen fat for easier removal. In addition to causing less trauma to surrounding tissue, reducing discomfort, and providing attractive body contouring results, Body-Jet has an additional benefit - it can be used to harvest fat for fat transfer procedures such as a Brazilian butt lift or natural breast augmentation.

The Procedure
Body-Jet differs from traditional tumescent liposuction in San Jose in that it uses a spray of fluid to gently loosen the fat from the selected area - it does not break apart the fat cells, but instead flushes them out. These loosened fat cells are then removed through a small cannula (tube).
For men and women who are interested in augmenting other areas of their body with their own natural fat, Dr. Hoffman can use Body-Jet as a preliminary step. This process is called fat transfer, and can be used to enhance facial features, butt, or breasts. For fat transfer, fat cells are first removed from one of the area through liposuction. The fat cells are then carefully purified and prepared, and can subsequently be injected into other areas of the body. Body-Jet is a great first step for fat transfer because it leaves the fat cells intact, and therefore more viable for placement elsewhere in the body.
Recovery and Results
This minimally-invasive procedure usually only requires a few days of downtime. There are several reasons why Body-Jet patients can get back to their usual routine more quickly:
- Body-Jet can be performed without general anesthesia.
- The procedure does not cause as much trauma to surrounding tissue, so there is less swelling and bruising.
- Body-Jet limits post-procedure discomfort.
Dr. Hoffman's patients have often expressed how much they love their slim new figures, and how pleased they were with the quick recovery from their Body-Jet liposuction.
In addition to Body-Jet and fat transfer, Dr. Hoffman performs a variety of body contouring procedures and can help you select the technique that will accomplish your goals. He offers several liposuction options, including Smartlipo™ (laser-assisted liposuction) and VASER® LipoSelection® (ultrasound-assisted liposuction).
