What Is a Liposuction Cannula for Fat Transfer?
A liposuction cannula is a specialized surgical instrument designed to remove and reinject fat during a fat grafting procedure. The right cannula ensures minimal trauma, better fat cell viability, and improved results.
Types of Fat Transfer Cannulas
When choosing the best liposuction cannula for fat transfer, it’s essential to consider the design, tip shape, and handle type. Here are the most common types:
1. Mercedes Tip Cannula (Three-Hole Design)
✅ Ensures even fat extraction
✅ Reduces trauma to surrounding tissues
✅ Ideal for large-volume fat removal
2. Single-Hole Cannula (Precision Fat Grafting)
✅ Offers controlled fat suction
✅ Best for delicate areas (face, hands, breasts)
✅ Preserves fat cell integrity for reinjection
3. Microcannulas for Fat Transfer
✅ Used for small, refined fat grafting procedures
✅ Reduces tissue trauma and bruising
✅ Ideal for facial fat grafting
4. Power-Assisted Liposuction Cannulas (PAL)
✅ Faster fat extraction with less surgeon fatigue
✅ Improves fat retention for successful grafting
✅ Compatible with MicroAire™ & Vibrasat®
Choosing the Best Cannula for Your Procedure
The best liposuction cannula for fat transfer depends on:
✔️ Procedure Type: Facial vs. body fat transfer
✔️ Fat Cell Viability: Minimizing trauma for better survival
✔️ Surgeon’s Preference: Power-assisted vs. manual extraction
💡 Pro Tip: Mercedes-tip and single-hole cannulas are the most widely used for fat transfer. PAL cannulas enhance precision and speed!

FAQs About Liposuction Cannulas for Fat Transfer
Q: What is the best cannula size for fat grafting?
A: The most commonly used sizes are 2.4mm – 3.7mm microcannulas for facial grafting and 4mm – 5mm cannulas for body fat transfer.
Q: How do I sterilize a reusable liposuction cannula?
A: Autoclave sterilization is recommended to ensure the longevity and safety of the instrument.
Q: Can power-assisted liposuction damage fat cells?
A: No, PAL cannulas actually improve fat viability by reducing manual pressure and trauma.
