Liposuction Techniques— What the Marketing Messages Do Not Tell You

LONDON - Oct. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- There is only one conventional process of liposuction surgery. The basic procedure includes three steps—

1.       Injecting a wetting solution into the treatable zone, which is made of local anaesthesia and epinephrine that constricts blood vessels and prepares the area to bear with the surgery without reacting with major invasiveness.

2.       Inserting the cannula probe oscillates it to break and separate superficial fat from the surrounding skin and sometimes from between muscles.

3.       When the surgeon is satisfied with completely breaking up the fat it is then removed out of the body with an aspiration gadget and via a tube.

Other Techniques than Traditional Liposuction

The other techniques of liposuction all follow the same course of procedure, of injecting a wetting solution, and oscillating a probe to break down the fat cells, and then drain it out with aspiration. They are not new techniques as such, but improvisation of the same procedure, by means of adding any sort of power or technological assistance to the probes.

Technological assistance means a number of things. It could be power assisted lipo, means electric probes that simply automate a normal cannula with heat and vibration; ultrasound lipo meaning that ultrasound energy is emitted through a lipo probe, or laser lipo that uses laser beams to emit through a probe. The emission of laser beams or ultrasound vibrations are unique in melting superficial fat more effectively, than normal probes or even power assisted probes.

·         Smart Lipo— Laser Liposuction

Smart Lipo is the predominant brand of gadgets for laser liposuction, which is designed by Cynosure. The probes come with diode lasers that help melting fat with less manual oscillation, and by burning out some of the underlying tissues, retain skin tightening, a process called coagulation. The laser has a negative potential of burning skin excessively than the beneficial coagulation. For the cause of which, Smart Lipo Triplex probes come with 3differnt wavelengths, 1064nanometers, 1320nanometers and 1440nanometers that could be adjusted and blended interchangeably, to suit up to various skin conditions and fat concentration with maximum emulsification and controlling any skin damage.

VASER Lipo— Ultrasound Liposuction

VASER Liposuction is the most valuable possession in liposuction gadgetry that uses ultrasound assistance into its specially designed probes. The ultrasound is too effective and fast in melting fat, while being ineffective in causing any invasiveness to the tendons, nerves or tissue, which in case of laser energy needs careful adjustment of the wavelengths.

VASER Lipo (http://www.harleybodyclinic.co.uk/) and Smart Lipo differs from power assisted lipo by means that the electronic probes do not have any separate wavelengths to adjust, or are that selective like ultrasound. The electronic probes just heat up that requires less movement of the cannula than manual instruments, and it is up to the surgeon as to how they use it for optimal results and minimal bruise or scarring.

Seek Surgeon, Over Technology

While it is good to know about innovations on offer, this doesn’t make sense that the new technological improvisations of liposuction surgery outcasts the manual process. The manual process is still the base of the surgery, and end result with either manual, power assisted or other “techniques” look the same. The gadgetry is rather a “surgeon thing”, than a patient’s thing.

However liposuction prices vary as per the use of gadget. It is not wise either to narrow down to surgeons who perform less expensive manual procedures and strikethrough VASER or Smart Lipo surgeons just because of the total liposuction price is more expensive.

Seek a surgeon by judging them as the most faithful and logical to suit up to your aesthetic goals, going through before after images that are genuinely performed by the surgeon himself/herself. Talk to a number of surgeons before taking final decisions, and educate yourself with logical intuition.
