Differences Between Liposuction Types

Two basic types are used in liposuction – the Tumescent
technique and Ultrasonic liposuction. On the whole, they have
several similarities but are different in some important points.
Both types of liposuction consist of similar surgical elements,
and if you use ultrasound liposuction, you have to include
tumescent as well.

The tumescent type of liposuction is known under many names:
standard liposuction, lipoplasty, liposculpture, or
suction-assisted lipoplasty. In was first practiced in the USA
in the year 1982. The method is as follows: first, the fat is
infiltrated with tumescent fluid, which contains saline saluted
with local anaesthetic. After being filled up with the fluid,
the fat is pulled out with tiny rods or by making small
incisions. Scars are hidden with natural skin creases. Tumescent
method alleviates pain, as it contains anaesthetic, and reduces
blood loss.

Ultrasonic is the other type of liposuction and it also starts
with injecting tumescent fluid to make the fat stiff. But from
that point the two types differ: with ultrasonic, the fat is
liquefied by high-frequency ultrasonic energy, emitted from a
thin rod, and then is taken out of the body using the rod as a
tiny pipette.

These two types of liposuction have several derivative types
that are getting extremely popular as they combine the strong
points of the basic types. With the further development of
higher technologies we are surely to be encountered with new and
modern types of liposuction in the years to come.

Suction-Assisted Liposuction: This is the combinative usage of
tiny cannula inserted into the fat area by small incisions. A
pressure is exercised over the place in order to drag the fat
out. Another type of liposuction is called Ultrasound-Assisted
Liposuction. From the top of the cannula are emitted ultrasound
waves that liquefy the fat before sucking it out.

External Ultrasound-assisted Liposuction. This type of
liposuction uses ultrasound waves that carry out the procedure
by changing the structure of the fat cells. Then a tumescent
fluid is injected to transmit the external waves and the fat is
taken out.

Power-assisted Liposuction is a type of liposuction that takes
the fat out by producing gentle pushes into and out of the skin.
The tip of a cannula is the best instrument for doing this. The
fat is gradually pulled out after several attempts. For more

VASER-assisted Liposuction: the last type of liposuction is the
most high-tech developed. It uses constant stream of ultrasonic
energy being inflicted on the fat area. The fat sells are broken
up by the ultrasound waves pressure and then taken out by
suction.
