1.
In the traditional form of liposuction, the patient is put under general anesthesia after which small incisions are made in the area to be treated.
Then, a small suctioning tube is used to remove fat.
Though this is an effective procedure, latest procedures have less pain, bruising and recovery time after surgery.
2.
Special injections of anesthetic are used before removing fats in tumescent liposuction.
This way, patients don't go to sleep during surgery, to reduce recovery time.
The epinephrine in the injections also makes fat swell, so that it is easier to remove.
The epinephrine also shrinks blood vessels, which leads to less bleeding.
A cannula is then used to suction out fat from the body.
3.
Tumescent injections are also used in ultrasonic liposuction to make it easy to remove fats.
However the cannula used here to remove fat emits ultrasonic waves or sound waves, so that the fat it comes in contact with is liquefied.
The advantage of this procedure is that as more fat can be removed as stubborn fat deposits are easily removed.
4.
In laser liposuction, a low energy laser is used instead of ultrasonic waves to emulsify fats for its easier removal.
5.
There are many other different types of liposuction out there, but the often fall under or are similar to the liposuction procedures listed above.
For example, VASER liposuction is an ultrasound liposuction.
With these different procedures having its own pros and cons, like any medical procedure, choose an accredited surgeon with the maximum experience in the procedure you are interested in.
