Cosmetic surgery that removes excess fat from the body to improve body appearance and smooth irregular body shapes is liposuction. It is also called body contouring. Liposuction can be used for contouring the neck, under the chin, cheeks, abdomen, upper arms, buttocks, thighs, hips, knees, calves, and ankle areas. Recovering from liposuction can be difficult. Complications from liposuction are rare but can be fatal.

Let us learn some of the most popular procedures:

Tumescent liposuction (fluid injection)

The most common type of liposuction is tumescent liposuction. Before removing the fat, a large amount of medicated solution is injected into the affected areas. At times, the solution can be three times as strong as the fat to be removed. During and after surgery, local anesthetic helps numb the area. The procedure might not require anesthesia. Epidemiologically, epinephrine reduces bleeding, swelling, and bruising. It also helps remove fat more easily. Usually, this kind of liposuction takes longer than other liposuction procedures.

Ultrasound Assisted liposuction (UAL)

In ultrasound assisted liposuction (UAL), fat cells are turned into liquid by ultrasonic vibrations. These cells can then be vacuumed out. There are two ways to perform UAL.

Using this method, fat is removed from dense, fiber-filled (fibrous) parts of the body, such as the upper back and engorged male breast tissue. UAL is often used as a follow-up procedure after tumescent technique, or for greater precision. UAL is more time consuming than super-wet surgery.

Laser Assisted liposuction (LAL)

Laser assisted liposuction (LAL) liquefies fat cells with laser energy. Watery cells can either be vacuumed out or allowed to sap out through small tubes once they have become watery. LAL uses a smaller tube than conventional liposuction; therefore, surgeons prefer it for confined areas like the jowls, chin, and face. In contrast to other liposuction procedures, LAL stimulates collagen production, which helps to prevent skin sagging. After liposuction, this prevents skin sagging.
