This is the most commonly performed liposuction procedure. It involves injecting a saline solution mixed with medications such as epinephrine into the targeted fatty areas. This solution helps to reduce bleeding and facilitate easier fat removal.
UAL uses ultrasonic energy delivered through a metal rod to liquefy fat cells before suctioning them out. A specific form of UAL, called Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance (VASER), is used to target and break down fat more efficiently.
The traditional method of liposuction, where a vacuum suction device is used to remove fat after making small incisions in the skin.
This technique uses a vibrating cannula to break up fat cells, making the fat easier to remove. PAL can also minimize trauma to surrounding tissues, which can help speed up recovery time
Laser energy is used to liquefy fat cells, which are then removed through a small incision. This procedure can also help tighten the skin, offering both fat removal and skin rejuvenation benefits.
Uneven fat removal, poor skin elasticity, and scarring can lead to bumpy, wavy, or sagging skin, which may become permanent.
Temporary fluid pockets (seromas) can form under the skin and may require drainage through a needle.
Treated areas may experience temporary or, in some cases, permanent numbness or nerve irritation.
Although rare, infections can occur at the site of the procedure and can sometimes become severe or life-threatening.
The liposuction tube, if not handled carefully, can puncture an internal organ, requiring emergency surgery.
