5 Liposuction Surgery Facts You Didn’t Know

Liposuction surgery is basically for improving body contouring by removing fats from different areas. It is done by inserting tubes under the skin to suction out the fat from that particular area.

This basically focuses on removing the excess fat from the abdomen, outer thighs, and flanks.

It is preferred mostly because it is a faster way of reshaping the body by targeting the isolated parts in the body where fat is deposited. However, it is a common perception that liposuction surgery can bring about weight loss.

Liposuction surgery and the weight loss myth

Just because this cosmetic surgery can remove the fatty accumulated areas from the body, it is often thought of as a surgery for weight loss, which is not at all true.

People with obesity issues are often found to be excited about liposuction surgery but in vain. It is a surgery that just helps in contouring or shaping of the body by suctioning out uneven fat areas in the body.

In fact, a person undergoing liposuction will see no huge weight reduction at all. However, post the surgery, they will weigh lighter with some amount of fats being removed.

5 Types of Liposuction Surgery

There are different types of liposuction depending on the technique used. Here are the 5 liposuction surgery types

a) UAL

This liposuction surgery utilizes ultrasound that melts the fat underneath the skin or muscles of the body. It then removes the melted fat through the cannula.

Risk factor: May cause burns due to the fat melting process.

b) Tumescent liposuction:

As mentioned in WebMD, this process proceeds with numbing the area of the body through a local anaesthesia. This is the area where the tube for suction is inserted. Then a large amount of anaesthesia is injected into the fatty tissues prior to the surgery.

c) Power-assisted liposuction:

This is almost similar to tumescent liposuction surgery technique. It just uses another vibrating tool to enhance the fat breakdown process. This makes it easier for fats to be removed. It is most preferred for the abdomen and back areas of the body.

d) LAL:

This is the Laser Assisted Liposuction Surgery that utilises low energy waves to melt the stored fat.

e) Vaser liposuction:

It is another version of liposuction surgery technique where a grooved cannula is used. This cannula disperses energy evenly in the areas and enhances breaking down of fat.
