Laser Lipolysis / Liposuction is currently the most prefered technique providing several benefits over other types of liposuction including:
1- Tissue tightening to decrease skin laxity.
2- Laser energy greatly decreases buises & bleeding.
3- Smooth destruction of fat cells to avoid fat lumps & islands.
4- Easier and faster recovery, usually 2 days.
Power assisted Tumescent Liposuction: New Swiss & German machines create certain vibrations that are targeted at breaking down the fat deposits while removing it out through a thin tube under local anesthesia. It combines the safety of tumescent liposuction with the ease and power of the vibration machines, while avoiding risks of Laser & ultrasound.
Laser Assisted Liposuction (Slim Lipo): Laser energy is applied to help liquify the fat, tighten the skin, prevent significant bruises & facilatetes fat removal.
Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction: Ultrasound energy is applied to help break down the fat and help its removal through liposuction.
Tumescent liposuction with Local anesthesia:This is the most common type of liposuction. It involves the infiltration of fluid into the area to be suctioned. The fluid has a local anesthetic as well as adrenaline to reduce bleeding and prolong the anesthetic effect. The surgeon uses a thin tube (cannula) attached to a vacuum to remove fat from under the skin. Local anesthesia is safest while the tumescent fluid facilitates aspirating the fat outside the body.
