Many people today are looking for ways to smooth and contour those areas that are just not responding to exercise and diet. We seek trimmer, flatter profiles and have exhausted all our exercise options; plus, we really do not want to undergo traditional liposuction with all of its associated risks.
There are many new advanced liposuction procedures available that have successfully replaced traditional liposuction. While the old methods were used for decades to remove fat, it entails a surgical procedure that requires general anesthesia and long recovery times.
Today, new procedures including Liposculpture, SmartLipo, Body-Jet and others, can give you the results you desire, with fewer risks and lower downtime periods.
These new techniques use more refined, smaller instruments and local anesthetics. This refinement also allows a patient to have a more clearly defined treatment area. Areas that are most often treated via liposuction or body contouring include the abdomen, thighs, waist, arms, knees, buttocks, and even facial areas.
The new techniques are much less traumatic overall and yet, provide great results.
Take a look at some the new and popular advanced liposculpting techniques.
Liposculpture uses tumescent local anesthetic that assists in the procedure. During the procedure, this tumescent solution, which consists of lidocaine and epinephrine, is injected in the treatment area to loosen the fat cells that are then gently suctioned out using tiny cannulas.
The Body-Jet procedure uses streams of water to loosen, and then remove the fat. This procedure is gentle, yet precise and produces accurate results.
The SmartLipo Laser Lipo procedure uses a high-tech laser that melts fat to provide that more contoured look. One great benefit of this procedure is that it actually tightens the skin, making it very effective in treating small areas such as the jawline, neck, chin or knees. It is often performed in addition to Liposculpture or Body-Jet procedures because of its skin tightening properties.
Fat transfer with liposuction can improve skin depressions or loss of volume in areas such as the hands. This procedure involves harvesting fat from an area with excessive fat using an advanced liposuction procedure such as Liposculpture. The fat is then processed and then injected into the area that needs plumping. Effectively, this is two procedures in one — you’ll lose volume in one area and gain it in another.
