What is
liposuction?
Liposuction is a safe and effective fat removal surgery or a method to achieve a toned and contoured body by getting rid of the excessive fat from localized areas like buttocks, thighs, flanks, abdominal area, chest, and even face. It is a surgical process that counters the excessive fat that has been accumulated in the body and refuses to settle even with vigorous exercising or dieting.
The process literally involves ‘sucking’ out the fat from the problem areas like thighs, arms, stomach through specialized medical equipment called Cannulas; so, it is also called fat removal surgery or belly fat removal surgery.
What are the
different methods of liposuction?
At Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai Liposuction is performed using one of the following ways:
Suction-Assisted Liposuction (SAL)
Suction-assisted liposuction makes use of a strongly powered, high-pressure vacuum that is attached to the cannula. This cannula is a hollow tube that is inserted under the skin into the targeted area. The excessive fat in that particular area is broken down and then sucked out.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL)
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction involves the insertion of a metal rod into the targeted areas. This metal rod emits ultrasonic energy which is useful for melting down the fat and thus making the fat removal easier.
Tumescent Liposuction
A sterile solution is injected at the target site that causes swelling and the blood vessels become narrow. This sterile solution is made up of salt water, an unaesthetic, and a drug. The drug helps to narrow down the blood vessels, the saltwater helps in fat removal, and the anesthetic helps in alleviating the pain. The swelling of the targeted area and the constriction of the blood vessels thus making it easier to remove the fat through the cannula.
Laser-Assisted Liposuction (LAL)
Laser-assisted liposuction makes use of high-powered laser fiber which is inserted at the targeted area. This laser helps to liquefy the fat which is then extracted through a cannula.
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
Power-assisted liposuction makes use of a vibrating cannula that is inserted into the targeted area. This vibrating motion allows the fat to be extracted more easily.
VASER Liposuction
Vaser liposuction is a novel way of extracting fat from multiple areas of the body through a specialized ultrasonic cannula. At the same time, it also helps in providing a contour to the underlying areas which makes it more effective and popular than the other methods. You can see the visible difference and more aesthetic appearance before and after Vaser liposuction.
