Liposuction is not the treatment for obesity. It is useful to remove contour fat from specific parts of the body.
TECHNIQUES TO PERFORM LIPOSUCTION PROCEDURE:
TUMESCENT LIPOSUCTION: This is the most common technique used to perform Liposuction. In this procedure a sterile solution (mixture of salt water) is injected, which helps in fat removal. Then cannula is inserted in the body which is connected to vacuum which suctions fat and fluid from the body.
ULTRASOUND ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION (UAL): This type of liposuction technique is sometimes used with tumescent liposuction. In this procedure a metal rod is inserted that emits ultrasonic energy under the skin. This helps to rupture the fat cell walls and break down the fat for easier removal.
LASER ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION (LAL): This type of Liposuction technique uses high intensity laser light, to break down fat for removal. A laser fibre through small incision is inserted in skin and helps to emulsify fat deposits. Than fat is removed via cannula.
POWER ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION (PAL): This type of Liposuction technique uses a cannula that moves in a rapid back and forth motion. This helps to pull out tough fat more easily and faster. This technique is more suitable when large volume of fat needed to be removed.
