Modern cosmetic and body contouring surgeries mostly use five categories for liposuction. Each of these is intended to eliminate the fat that persists even after exercising and dieting. The different types include the following:
- 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?
There are various techniques of liposuction which differ in the way by which fat is removed from the body.
Tumescent Liposuction
The “traditional” or tumescent technique involves injecting a fluid mixture that loosens up fat cells, decreases blood circulation, and helps to make it easier to slip the fat out.
VASER Liposuction
With the VASER technique, ultrasound energy is used to break down the fat cells while leaving the surrounding tissue relatively intact. By allowing for precise contouring of the body, VASER is the fastest recovering technique to obtain high-definition body sculpting results.
Laser-Assisted Liposuction
Laser-assisted liposuction (also called laser liposuction) utilizes the energy of lasers to melt the fat away, but also creates a , resulting in some skin tightening effects.
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) also utilizes a vibrating cannula in order to make fat breakdown more efficient for the surgeon as well as accelerate the time of the procedure.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL)
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) utilizes the energy of ultrasound waves to liquefy fat within the body; this is especially beneficial for areas that are dense or fibrous such as in the back or male chest areas (breast).
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:
Factors influencing liposuction procedures:
- Location to be treated
- Fat thickness and amount
- Skin elasticity
- Desired outcome
- General health and expectations for recovery
- Types of Surgery/Reconstructive Surgery
- Other Factors to Consider/the Patient’s Individual Outcomes
