Types of Liposuction Techniques
1. Traditional Liposuction (Tumescent Liposuction)
- Uses a sterile solution (lidocaine, saline, and epinephrine) to numb the area and reduce bleeding.
- A thin tube (cannula) is inserted to suction out fat.
2. VASER Liposuction (Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction)
- Uses ultrasound energy to break down fat before suctioning.
- Helps with skin tightening and muscle definition.
3. Laser-Assisted Liposuction (SmartLipo)
- Uses laser energy to liquefy fat before removal.
- Stimulates collagen production for firmer skin.
4. Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
- Uses a vibrating cannula for faster fat removal.
- Ideal for treating larger areas.
Procedure Overview
- Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia, depending on the area treated.
- Incisions: Small incisions are made for cannula insertion.
- Fat Removal: Fat is suctioned out using one of the above techniques.

Recovery & Aftercare
