Liposuction Methods

After my post earlier in the week I thought it would be a great time to explain more about the different Liposuction methods that are available in the marketplace today. With several techniques available and several manufacturers making liposuction equipment I felt it would be good to explain them and demystify liposuction. Due to time I cannot cover all areas and types of liposuction.



Liposuction is the most common cosmetic surgery procedure today. It involves getting rid of fat from targeted areas of the body. Liposuction methods has advanced making this cosmetic surgery involve less risk and achieve better results.

Superwet Liposuction / Tumescent Lipoplasty: In this procedure, anesthetic liquid is injected before surgery which numbs the area and slows blood flow. The fluid allows the cannula to enter the skin easier and remove the fat more safely. This technique is good for reducing blood loss and may be used anywhere in the body.

(UAL) Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty : UAL uses a tube, called a probe, that produces ultrasonic energy that liquefies fat. The liquid fat is much easier to remove. UAL is often used in the back, upper abdomen, or male breast region.

LySonix ®: UltraSculpt: UltraSculpt utilizes LySonix ® technology to gently liquefy and remove fat from sensitive and delicate areas.

VASER ®: LipoSelection: LipoSelection by VASER ® is a cosmetic surgery process that causes more accurate sculpting, less bruising, and quick. LipoSelection distributes the ultrasonic energy to disrupt the fat prior to removal.

(PAL) Power-Assisted Liposuction: Power-assisted liposuction provides power to the cannula, which lessens the amount of physical work the board certified cosmetic surgeon does during surgery.
