You can get power assisted Liposuction done at any plastic surgeon office. The medical office or clinic that you will go to will all depend on your location.
What else can I help you with?
What is power assisted liposuction?
Power assisted liposuction uses a special cannula which uses tiny, rapid vibrations to break up fat cells so that they can be suctioned out of the body a lot easier.
What are the benefits of ultrasound assisted liposuction?
As the name implies ultrasound assisted liposuction is a less invasive procedure to remove fatty areas without having to make a large incision. This hastens recovery time for the patient.
What research has been done on the treatment of cellulite by liposuction?
A 2002 study showed that a combination of ultra-sound-assisted liposuction followed by mechanical massage (endermologie) proved more effective than either technique used alone in reducing cellulite.
What else is liposuction called?
also known as lipoplasty or suction-assisted lipectomy
Where can one information on power assisted liposuction?
Information maybe provided on a plastic surgery website, for example "Transform Lives". If planning on going through the liposuction procedure, it is best recommended to book a consultation time with a plastic surgeon, so that the liposuction procedure and other information would be explained furthermore in detail. Such as the risks of doing liposuction and so on.
What is ultrasonic liposuction?
OUTTAKE FROM "COMPLICATIONS OF LIPOSUCTION" (The "Complications of Liposuction" is a document that is recognized as "an important document" in the field of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. It was written as a follow-up to the "Guidelines of Care" Liposuction.) Here are out-takes from section 2 and section 4.1.7 of the document: Section 2 Evolution of Liposuction ~ Since the introduction of liposuction techniques in 1982 the management of adipose tissue for aesthetic and reconstructive purposes had undergone a significant change. [3] The introduction of new techniques such as wet, super-wet and tumescent suction assisted liposuction (SAL), [4, 5] as well as the development of new technologies such as power-assisted liposuction (PAL), ultrasound assisted liposuction (UAL) and laser assisted liposuction (LAL), broaden the possibilities within the field. The advent of new techniques and technologies is not free of complications and each of these developments has been associated with a subgroup of problems that should not be overlooked. Care should be taken when using power assisted cannulas and even ultrasonic or laser technologies since the tissue resistance changes making easier the penetration of undesired structures. "Both power assisted and ultrasonic liposuction are designed to make the work of the surgeon easier. Although I helped to develop the most popular powered liposuction instrument, I no longer use this technique. I also abandoned ultrasonic liposuction a long time ago. After 27 years of performing liposuction, I feel I am getting the best results ever using manual liposuction. Using very small instruments, I can definitely sculpt more precisely. And if I have to work harder, it is worth it to give my patients better results." ~ Dr. William Coleman III. When one learns the biology of fat and understands that any form of adipose removal causes long-term health and contour problems, the question may change from, "What kind should I get?," to "Why would I want to do something that will at best be temporary and cause me so many problems that do not have any solution?"
What are the benefits of the news?
"The new Liposuction surgery has a less recovery period because it is not as invasive. The new methods are high definition liposuction, water-jet assisted, and smart liposuction. The best for you will be decided by the plastic surgeon."
Is there form of liposuction that uses lasers?
Yes, there is a form of liposuction called laser liposuction, also known as laser-assisted liposuction or laser lipolysis. This technique uses laser energy to liquefy fat cells before they are removed through a cannula. The heat from the laser also helps to tighten the skin in the treated area. Laser liposuction is considered minimally invasive and can lead to quicker recovery times compared to traditional liposuction methods.
How effective is radio frequency assisted liposuction in reducing body fat compared to traditional liposuction methods?
Radio frequency assisted liposuction is generally considered to be more effective in reducing body fat compared to traditional liposuction methods. This is because the radio frequency energy helps to break down fat cells more efficiently, leading to better results and potentially a smoother recovery process.
Which are the best new liposuction techniques available?
"Some of the new liposuction techniques that you should look into include the ones that don't utilize surgery in order for removing fat (aka non surgical liposuction techniques)! These are:Liposonix ultrasoundThermageVelashape IIZeronaLipo Ex
Is power assisted liposuction a good idea?
Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) is a great option for someone who has worked hard at losing weight and toning up, but still have "problem" areas that will not alter despite weight loss. As with any plastic surgery, it is very important to find a qualified medical doctor to perform this procedure. Many offices offer free consults, and I recommend visiting several doctors for consults until you find one that you feel comfortable with.
What type of complications can result from ultrasound assisted liposuction?
"In ultrasound-assisted or ultrasonic liposuction there maybe some complications such as :fluid imbalance (too much fluid can affect the heart, lungs and kidneys),allergies to the materials and medications used in the procedure,infection,skin necrosis,or puncture of an internal organ."
