For those who would want to give liposuction a try to get rid of excess fat, below are some of the new techniques on the said procedure.
Smart Lipo: With the use of lasers, fat cells are broken down and they are liquefied for ease of removal. A cannula is inserted in a small incision on the area of excess fat then it beams out the laser on the cell. If the fat is already liquid, it is vacuumed and sutured. This procedure provides decreased bleeding, uses small incision, and allows only short time to recover.
Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL): This technique makes use of a vibrating cannula which is quicker in breaking fat cells. On the area with fats, an incision is made and a liquid anesthesia is used to allow less damage on the tissue and less bleeding. Compared to traditional liposuction, this procedure allows sculpt to be more accurate since a smaller incision is used. This is also assumed to remove more fats compared to the traditional procedure.
Slim Lipo: This liposuction procedure competes with Smart Lipo. It is said to be administered with less invasiveness. It utilizes the use of laser technology to make fat liquid. Just like any procedure, the results of this technique will be highly dependent on the skill of the surgeon. This technique is also said to offer less bleeding and faster rate of recovery.
Cool Lipo: This procedure can be performed even in-office and would require only mild anesthesia. A canula with a small laser is inserted on the incision. The laser uses the technology of Cool Lipo which can melt fat while cannula sucks what is in excess. This technique also is said to be faster to perform and offers faster time to recover compared to traditional liposuction.
Some of the benefits of these more advanced techniques compared to the traditional method of liposuctions involve having smaller incisions, allowing the patient to recover faster, offering lesser risks, avoiding potential complications or infections, and offering faster results. It is important to note that more than the procedure, what is more important is the skill of the surgeon who will administer liposuction.
