The varied types of liposuction and its cost

LONDON - Nov. 4, 2014 - PRLog -- The new innovations achieved in the field of liposuction surgery are concerned essentially with the probes or cannulas that are the most important tool to remove fat. The different probes allow the surgeons with different degrees of movement and ease to reach out to those areas in the body where getting rid of fat that accumulates in pockets in the various regions of the body becomes insurmountable if it were to be removed manually.

Manual removal of fat from these areas is virtually impossible. Moreover it leaves a lot of bruising and scarring. But thanks to liposuction, particularly Vaser liposuction, the surgery can be carried out minimal invasively with limited downtime.

What are the different types of liposuction?

Traditional Tumescnent lipo/SAL is the basic mode of the used technique. This is the manual process to break down subcutaneous fat wherein the surgeon inserts a cannula by which fat cells are broken down and aspirated out through vacuum. The Tumescent technique provides local anaesthesia to remove large volumes of subcutaneous fat. It does not result in excessive blood loss.

Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) is similar to a SAL, the only difference being that in a PAL procedure, the cannula used allows greater flexibility of movement for the surgeon.

Ultra-sound assisted liposuction (UAL) involves a special cannula which emits ultrasound waves that melts fat tissues into its liquid form which it then drained out from the body. This is a technique used especially to remove fibrous fat tissues located in male breasts, upper back etc. Vaser Lipo is the patent brand name for UAL equipments.

Vaser Liposuction is the predominantly performed liposuction technique performed at every liposuction clinic in London. The mechanism uses the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted Vaser Liposuction that utilises sound vibrations to emit through a cannula into the fat layers under the skin and melt down the most stubborn fat deposits into a liquid with least signs of surgery and scars, and thus a minimal downtime and surgical trauma to the patient.

Twin-cannula assisted liposuction (TCAL or TCL) is a technique which uses a more advanced from of cannula wherein, there is a cannula within a cannula. The inner mechanical cannula that aspirates the fat does not have any additional impact on the other non-fatty tissues in the treatable area.

Water-assisted liposuction (WAL) as the name suggests uses a water beam which helps to loosen the fat so that it can be removed by the cannula.

Smart lipo procedures are an advanced form of liposuction surgery that provides real-time temperature and motion sensor feedback that is one step above in the evolution of Vaser surgery (http://www.harleybodyclinic.co.uk/surgical/vaser-lipo/vas...).
