About The Liposuction Procedure

We are all familiar with those areas on our bodies that stubbornly refuse to lose fat regardless of what we do, in particular; the troublesome tummy area, underarms, and thighs. And while traditional weight loss methods do not often work, there are fortunately other alternatives that do. In recent years, the cosmetic industry has developed techniques to combat the issue of obstinate fat.

One such technique is liposuction that aims to remove areas of fat resistant to strenuous exercise and strict diets.

Traditional liposuction has gone through vast improvements to yield state-of-the-art liposuction known as Vaser liposuction. Which, since its launch, has gained praise and acceptance in the field of body contouring by patients and doctors alike.

The Different Types Of Liposuction

There are certainly various types of the technique, there the cost of liposuction will vary based on how recent the technology you’re opting for is. On the market there are currently three techniques of liposuction, each technology has a unique cost of liposuction. Additionally, cost of liposuction for the same technique can vary from one country to another hence why medical tourism for liposuction is becoming a popular trend.

1- Tumescent liposuction

In this type of liposuction, the lipolysis phase is not facilitated by waves whether ultrasound or laser. On the contrary, this technique uses a mixture of fluids that hardens the fat cells in preparation for lipolysis. The combination of fluid contains a local anesthetic, blood vessel constrictor, and Sodium chloride solution. This mix is injected into the target area, preparing the site for lipolysis. To break the fat cells, the surgeon has to insert a cannula, which they will then use to physically break fat cells by to and fro movements of the cannula. The cannula then suctions the fat out.

2- SmartLipo (Laser-Liposuction)

More commonly referred to as laser liposuction, SmartLipo is a technique that assists laser beams in facilitating the removal of stubborn fat from various areas around the body. The lipolysis phase can either be external or internal. External lipolysis employs laser pads or laser pens on the exterior of target areas to liquefy fat cells. After emulsification, a hollow cannula is then used to suction the liquefied fat out. In internal lipolysis, however, a laser-assisted hollow cannula is used. The surgeon will insert the laser cannula in problem areas to liquefy fat cells. In external SmartLipo The cannula simultaneously breaks fat cells and suctions the emulsion out.

3- Vaser Liposuction

Vaser liposuction, also referred to as Vaser lipo, is a non-invasive ultrasound-assisted cosmetic procedure that removes stubborn fat in problem areas. The procedure works by directing high-frequency ultrasound waves on problem areas to break down fat cells. The doctors will then suction the fat cells out using a cannula.

In traditional liposuction, doctors would use a cannula to break down fat cells. The procedure begins by creating incisions on target areas to allow for the insertion of cannulas. Upon insertion, the doctor then vigorously moves the cannula up and down to break down fat cells for suction. After breaking down fat cells, doctors will employ another cannula to suction the fat out.

Often known as ultra-sound assisted liposuction Vaser liposuction differs from other therapies in the lipolysis stage by utilizing high-frequency ultrasound waves. To use ultrasound waves in such an inch-perfect way, cosmetics surgeons connect a hollow cannula to an ultrasound wave generator. The surgeon then inserts the ultrasound-assisted cannula in target areas, where ultrasound waves will facilitate the breaking of fat cells. Once the emulsification or lipolysis phase is successfully over, the same cannula then suctions the fat out.
