Modern, minimally invasive liposuction……..more than just sucking fat

Modern liposuction techniques are mainly the Body Jet liposuction technique (water jetstream assisted liposuction) and laser liposuction (also known as Smartlipo).

Other alternatives exist…………we have extensively road -tested all of them, but these water jetstream liposuction and laser liposuction are the best by far.

We mostly combine these two liposuction techniques , especially in cases where patients want removal of larger quantities of fat, the Smartlipo with Body Jet body sculpting is ideal.

The combination gives the best possible result: Body Jet is a very precise water jetstream device with simultaneous irrigation and suction.

For the surgeon it is great to work with because it is very precise.
With jetstream liposuction it is no longer necesssary to inject large volumes of fluid such as in “conventional ” tumescent liposuction.
Body contouring with Body Jet is very precise and the rates of postoperative irregularities are about 20 times less than conventional liposuction.

The Body Jet liposuction procedure is virtually bloodless and large volumes of fat can be removed in a comparably short time.

Body Jet liposuction does also offer the massive advantage that it can be combined with a lipocollector filter system to harvest a top quality fat graft, which in our Marbella practice is mainly used as a facial filler and for breast augmentation.

Another major indication is buttock augmentation (brazilian butt lift) which is a very common request in our Marbella practice. Body Jet has made this a much faster procedure.
The swift and easy fat harvesting has also brought a further advantage for patients seeking fat transfer surgery: less theatre time is needed and therefore the procedure is less costly.

The Brazilian butt lift is a procedure which is increasingly (at least it seems to me). The advanced lipoharvesting technique with Body Jet has made this procedure much more versatile and successful.

Laser liposuction has got the advantage that it retracts skin…..which is a huge advantage from the surgical point of view. I think it is a phantastic technique for treating the “double chin deformity (neck lipsouction), and on the arms and inner thighs.

To first remove the bulk of fat deep layer with Body Jet and then tighten the skin with more superficial Smartlipo laser liposuction seems the ideal combination in modern liposuction therapy.

Conventional tumescent liposuction has been banned in our practice.
When communicating in the surgical community, I find that the only advantage of this technique is one for the surgeon, because he does not need any more technology than a suction tube and a cannula.

Medically it is not justifiable to use tumescent liposuction any more, since this technique is very traumatic and has traditionally got a very high revision rate.
