Most Popular Liposuction Types
According to some statistics Welfare Abroad specialists gathered; liposuction is among the 3 most popular cosmetic surgeries in the world.
It is a tool to eliminate excess fat from specific area of the body. Procedure also includes body sculpting, contouring and/or spot reduction.
Some of the body parts that usually require this surgery include abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, neck, back and upper arms. The fact is that proper nutrition with regular physical activity can improve our condition and appearance. However, there are situations in which we simply can’t get rid of fat deposits, and this is where liposuction comes into play.
Thanks to the fast advance in the field of medicine, patients can choose between different types of this operation. The following is a list of some of the most popular Lipoplasty types:
Laser liposuction
As the name suggests, this procedure includes a laser that makes the fat more liquid before extraction. In other words, this type of liposuction is one of the least invasive techniques. Also, laser liposuction does not affect the process of production of natural collagen in the body. Collagen is crucial for prevention of sagging, which is not a rare occurrence after such procedure. Finally, this technique also lowers the chances of bleeding and bruising.
Fluid injection liposuction
This procedure relies on injecting a special solution in the problematic areas before the fat elimination. This solution usually consists of saline solution, a small amount of anaesthetic and a special drug which narrows the blood vessels in the affected area. By using a fluid injection, surgeons have the opportunity to eliminate fat buildups easily. This procedure also prevents excessive bleeding and reduces pain. It is also worth mentioning that this technique decreases the chances of bruising after the surgery.
Tumescent liposuction
Doctors who practice this type of Lipoplasty rely on a mixture of different kinds of pharmaceutical drugs, local anaesthetic and some water. This procedure usually requires local anaesthesia, which means that the patient is awake all the time without any pain.
HD liposuction
This is a relatively new Lipoplasty type that is getting quite popular these days. One of the main reasons behind its popularity is that patients can recover faster. It uses ultrasound liposuction technique. It performs fat removal without any impact on the nerves, blood vessels and connective tissues. This technique is also known as Vaser Liposuction. It is focused on fat cells and removes them without any problems, even in areas. Like areas that are difficult to reach or where fat cells are mixed with many healthy cells. This is something that patients cannot expect from standard liposuction.
Extra wet liposuction
This procedure is like tumescent technique, but this time the surgeon uses less fluid. They are trying to use the same amount of fluid as the amount of fat that must be removed. This procedure can take less than 60 minutes and patients usually need general anaesthesia.
