There are 5 main types of liposuction commonly used in modern cosmetic and body contouring surgery. Each technique is designed to remove stubborn fat while improving body shape, recovery time, and skin tightening.
The most commonly performed types include:
- Traditional (Tumescent) Liposuction
- VASER Liposuction
- Laser-Assisted Liposuction
- Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
- Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL)
At Redefine Hair Transplant and Plastic Surgery Center, the choice of liposuction technique is customized based on body type, fat distribution, skin quality, and patient goals under the guidance of Dr Harikiran Chekuri.
What Are the Different Types of Liposuction and How Do They Work?
Each type of liposuction uses a different technology to break down fat before removal.
Tumescent Liposuction
This is the traditional method where a fluid mixture is injected to loosen fat, reduce bleeding, and ease removal. It is effective for small to moderate fat deposits.
VASER Liposuction
VASER uses ultrasound energy to selectively target fat cells while preserving surrounding tissues. It allows for more precise sculpting and faster recovery, making it ideal for high-definition body contouring.
Laser-Assisted Liposuction
Laser energy melts fat and stimulates collagen production, offering mild skin tightening benefits along with fat removal.
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
PAL uses a vibrating cannula to break fat more efficiently, reducing surgeon fatigue and shortening procedure time.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL)
UAL uses ultrasound waves to liquefy fat, especially useful in dense or fibrous areas like the back or male chest.
Which Type of Liposuction Is Best and How Is the Right One Chosen?
There is no single “best” type of liposuction treatment for everyone. The right technique depends on:
- Area being treated
- Amount and density of fat
- Skin elasticity
- Desired body contouring results
- Overall health and recovery expectations
According to Dr Harikiran Chekuri, a detailed consultation is essential to determine the safest and most effective approach. At Redefine, Liposuction in Hyderabad is often combined with other aesthetic or surgical procedures to achieve comprehensive and balanced body transformation results.
