Should You Trust in an External Ultrasonic Liposuction?

Currently, the latest form of ultrasonic liposuction, external ultrasonic liposuction is a technique that involves use of vibrating hand-pieces that are held on the outside of the skin at the site where ultrasonic liposuction procedure is to be performed. Of course, prior to the start of external ultrasonic liposuction, just as with most other liposuction procedures, the doctor will need to first inject the patient with a fluid that helps to deaden the affected area after which sound or shock waves are applied to an external ultrasonic liposuction device.

Handheld Device

An external ultrasonic liposuction device is very much like any normal handheld device that you would normally use during physical therapy sessions to treat deep tissues such as your muscles and also fibrous tissues. To make the external ultrasonic liposuction procedure work better it is necessary to break up or liquefy the fat and toward this end it is necessary to send high amounts of energy through your open and delicate skin till the energy reaches the deepest parts where the unwanted fat is present.

External ultrasonic liposuction procedures first became popular toward the end of the nineties and the reason was that first and second generation of internal ultrasonic liposuction was not very successful. In the modern external ultrasonic liposuction procedure use is made of either tumescent or a variation of wet type liposuction techniques.

However, before opting to get external ultrasonic liposuction done it is important that you understand the many downsides to this particular form of surgery. First of all you need to be aware that the doctor performing suction does not in most cases pass or even circulate the external ultrasonic liposuction device themselves. Instead, a technician or nurse might have to do the passing and circulation of the device and any failure on their part to act with utmost caution can easily lead to the skin being burned. Also, external ultrasonic liposuction takes longer and furthermore the costs too are higher.

It is therefore necessary to weigh all the pros and cons of external ultrasonic liposuction before asking your doctor to perform this procedure on you. As mentioned, ultrasonic liposuction costs are somewhat higher than for other forms of liposuction. Furthermore, most people that are considering getting ultrasonic liposuction performed generally do not have an idea about how much such a procedure would cost them.

Certain factors govern the costs and these include the amount of area that needs to be treated, the location of the treatment facility and also amount of fat that is to be removed.
