Dr. Becker states: \u201c\u2026to ensure fat graft survival, it is important that fat cells not exceed 1 mm in diameter\u2026\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0The device is used in contexts such as: facial fat grafting (volume loss, fine lines, skin rejuvenation), body\/breast fat grafting (contour, augmentation, revision) in the \/\u201cnano-fat\u201d realm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The rationale: By reducing particle size you (a) increase surface area relative volume, (b) potentially improve diffusion\/vascular ingrowth, (c) permit injection into finer planes (including intradermal layers) that traditional fat-grafting may struggle with.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Technique \/ Workflow (How It\u2019s Used)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Harvest<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Harvest fat via liposuction using standard techniques (low trauma preferred) from donor site (abdomen\/thighs) into luer-lock syringe. The IFU mentions 12 G \/2.7 mm harvesting cannula<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prepare the fat ( strain ,centrifuge or decant as per surgeon preference) to remove excess fluid\/oil .<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>2.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Processing with the Micronizer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Connect one syringe filled with the harvested fat (source) to one end of the\u00a0 micronizer , and an empty luer-lock syringe to the other end. Secure connections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For the 2.4 mm device: perform 2-3 \u201cpasses\u201d of pushing the fat from one syringe through the device into the empty syringe to reduce size to micro-fat (for injection via 16-18 G). If injection cannula clogs, additional passes may be done.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For the 1.2 mm device: after you have micro-fat (~1.0-1.2 mm) you attach the syringe containing\u00a0 fat to the 1.2mm device and do 2-3 passes to obtain\u00a0 ultra microfat which can be injected via 20-22 G cannulas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To obtain lipocyte free Nannofat , the fat is strained . enabling injection through a 27 -30 g needle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Injection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose appropriate cannula size: 16-18 G for micro fat, 20-22 G for\u00a0 ultra microfat\u00a0 and 27-30g for nano fat. (Per IFU) Micronizer\u00ae<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0Inject into the planned layers: deep, mid, superficial\/intradermal depending on the anatomical target<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For facial rejuvenation: target all three layers (over bone, mid tissue,)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intradermal for volume and skin texture improvement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Micronizer\u00ae system is a purpose-built tool for fat grafting that lets the surgeon process fat into smaller, more uniform particles in a closed, sterile system, facilitating micro- or nano-fat injection for rejuvenation or reconstruction. It\u2019s particularly suitable for applications where fine particle size and injection into delicate planes (face, skin, hands) matters. Like any tool, its performance depends on correct technique, good harvest\/injection practices, and patient selection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What it is Indications \/ Claims &amp;
