Liposuction

Liposuction removes excess fat deposits to contour and reshape specific body areas.

There are different liposuction procedure techniques used depending on the patient’s needs and the surgeon’s expertise. Also the cost of liposuction can vary significantly based on the technique used.

Here are the main types:

• Tumescent Liposuction: The most common method where a saline solution with anesthetic is injected into the target area to make fat easier to remove.
• Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): Uses ultrasound waves to liquefy fat before suction, ideal for dense fat areas.
• Laser-Assisted Liposuction (LAL): Utilizes laser energy to melt fat, making it easier to remove and promoting skin tightening.
• Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): A vibrating cannula breaks down fat cells for quicker and more precise removal.
• VASER Liposuction: An advanced ultrasound technique that targets fat while sparing surrounding tissues, useful for body contouring.
  
  Hospital Stay: Outpatient or 1 day.
