Types of Liposuction
-
Tumescent Liposuction: The most common technique. A solution is injected into the area to help remove fat, reduce blood loss, and provide anesthesia.
-
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): Uses ultrasound waves to liquefy fat, making it easier to remove. Often used for denser fat deposits.
-
Laser-Assisted Liposuction (LAL): Uses laser energy to liquefy fat, which is then removed through a small tube.
-
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): Uses a vibrating tube to break up fat cells, which are then suctioned out. This can be quicker and less painful.
