Technological advances in the field of cosmetic surgery have created many new liposuction methods. They are often less invasive than traditional forms and have a shorter recovery period. Your cosmetic surgeon will be able to help you decide which new liposuction method is best for you depending on the results you want. It’s important to remember that with some of the newer technologies, there may not be a professional in your area that can do the procedure.
High Definition Liposuction
High definition liposuction is the three dimensional sculpting of the abdominal muscles, chest muscles, the lower back and the gluteus to enhance their muscle structure and create a toned, muscular body. They can create a set of six pack abs, boost flat behinds, or sculpt shapely calves and ankles. Dr. Michelle Copeland calls this method “liposculpting”. In the past, procedures that created this sort of results were very invasive and caused large amounts of scarring. Today, that is a thing of the past because they are able to make very small incisions. In “liposculpting”, doctors use liposuction to remove fat from some areas, only to re-add it and sculpt it elsewhere. The new liposuction procedure costs about $5000 and the recovery time is minimal, usually just a couple of days, although it may take up to six months to see the full effects of the procedure.
Smart Liposuction
This is a highly effective method that has drastically improved the safety of getting liposuction. The laser technology used in this form of new liposuction is similar to that used routinely in dental procedures. In this case, a carefully calibrated laser is used to liquefy the fat layers through the patient’s skin. The fat cells are actually ruptured by the laser and the resulting oily substance is then removed by the surgeon through a tiny incision in the skin. Since the procedure is minimally invasive and involves local anesthesia instead of general, there is a much lower risk of negative side effects. Typically, smart laser assisted liposuction patients are back at work only 1-2 days after the procedure. The cost of smart liposuction varies depending on the area you want to have worked on but it tends to be about 30% cheaper than traditional liposuction. Immediate results can be seen with continued improvement over the next several months to be expected.
Water-Jet Assisted Liposuction
Water-jet assisted liposuction is one of the newest methods. A high pressure-spray of water is used to separate the fat cells without traumatizing the nerves and blood vessels. The fat is then suctioned out through the cannula tip, reducing the amount of tissue swelling. This new liposuction method allows for greater control which allows the results of this method to be optimized and reduces the chances for corrective surgeries to become necessary. Some studies show that this method of new liposuction is even effective when dealing with cellulite. This form takes less time than other methods of liposuction and causes less tissue trauma. One of the benefits of this form of liposuction is that it can be performed on multiple areas of the body in a single session. Only mild pain was reported, typically, and most patients were back at work within a few days of treatment.
