Introduction
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery otherwise known as liposculpture or suction lipectomy. The main purpose of this surgery is to remove fat from your body. This procedure is used on your chin, neck, buttocks, thighs, abdomen, calves, arms and other specific areas of the body.
A cannula is a hollow instrument used to remove fat from your body parts. It is inserted below your skin. An extremely high-pressure and powerful vacuum is applied to this instrument. This procedure is suitable for people who desire to enhance and change their body contour.
It removes the fat cells permanently and alters your body shape. So, the level of fat which is removed from your body is limited.
Types of liposuction surgery
Tumescent liposuction
In this process, a huge quantity of saline solution, vessel-constrictor and local anaesthetic are pumped under your skin in the targeted area. The fat content is sucked out through suction tubes. It is a popular type of liposuction.
Laser liposuction
It is otherwise called laser-guided lipo. It requires tumescent fluid and it is less invasive and bloodier than other procedures. A tube is inserted through a tiny incision which delivers heat and laser energy into your body fat deposited under your skin.
Ultrasound liposuction
The ultrasound liposuction procedure is otherwise called ultrasonic liposuction. In this approach, the cannula tube is energized by using ultrasound which makes your fat melt away, immediately. The vibrations of ultrasound burst the structure of your fat cells. It liquefies and emulsifies the fat, making it simpler for sucking out. It helps to remove the fat from fibrous areas.
