When several years ago, more than 30, doctors started talking about liposuction, many women found the solution to their problems of accumulated fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, hips or thighs. Now, in this new decade, this type of surgery covers other areas, with techniques that reduce all types of risks or side effects (pain, scarring, etc). There are many new liposuction techniques, the following are the most common ones:
Among the new liposuction techniques assisted by some kind of technology we have the ultrasound assisted liposuction, also called ultrasonic liposuction .
This new liposuction technique involves using ultrasonic wave at a very rapid frequency so that the fat cells emulsify and can be aspirate without breaking the skin tissues or arteries, veins and nerves.
Using ultrasound helps to suck the fat from difficult areas such as the stomach or back. Once the ultrasonic liposuction have managed to remove the desired volume, if any irregularities are found, these can be remodeled with a smaller tube of 1mm.
This type of liposuction is especially recommended for people with loose or inelastic skin. The drawback is that it can cause skin burns or injuries, caused by the warming that produces ultrasound in the cannula.
Another new liposuction procedure recently developed is the latest Vibrolipo or Vibroliposuction. In this intervention, the equipment used consists of a handpiece carrying the cannula and making it vibrate easily, so that access is less traumatic into areas where the consistency is harder, so that the fat tissue you want to remove can be more easily suctioned. Thanks to this procedure the results are also more accurate.
Pressured Serum-assisted liposuction is a major breakthrough in the search for less invasive solutions. The infiltration of the serum is performed accurately and with minimal trauma to the tissues. This substance is able to separate the fat without damaging tissue, causing less inflammation after surgery.
These are only some examples of the possible liposuction techniques that were recently developed. If you’re considering undergoing a liposuction treatment, consult your doctor and a trusted and experienced surgeon to discuss your expectations and the type of liposuction that is better for you.
