It is the most common type of reconstructive surgery. Tumescent technique uses injecting a saline (saltwater) solution into the fatty areas. It shrinks the blood vessels as the solution contains medicines such as epinephrine.

Once dissolved, it makes the fats soft, thus allowing surgeons to remove it easily and without blood loss. However, certain pain-killing medications also become part of the procedure.

Further, this procedure is ideal for removing fats from abdomen, back, breast, flanks and knees.

Ultrasound-assisted Liposuction (UAL)

This procedure includes using a metal rod underneath the body part where fat removal is intended. The rod helps liquefies the body fat thus allowing our surgeon to remove it safely.

VASER Liposuction

VASER technology employs a stainless steel tool known as cannula while adding grooves and ultrasound waves to break up fat cells from the body, thus helping surgeons to remove it.

Suction-assisted Liposuction

A traditional method of dermatology creates a vacuum to remove fat from a patient’s body. It is ideal to remove unwanted fats from the face, chin, cheeks and legs.

Body jet liposuction uses pulsating spray of fluid to dislodge fat before it is sucked out through a cannula (micro-cannular technique).

Power-assisted Liposuction (PAL)

This process uses a cannula to break body fats by moving it back and forth over the fats. The tool makes it easier for surgeon to remove the fat thus making it a highly efficient method.

Laser Liposuction

During this procedure, strong laser lights are used on small, flexible tubes (fiber) to liquefy and break down body fats. However, laser-assisted liposuction requires a small incision on your skin.
