Modern Liposuction

Liposuction technqiues have seen some signifcant advances in recent years, the most important ones being minimally invasive techniques such as water jetstream assisted liposuction (Body Jet or Aqua Lipo, as it is often called in the U.S.) and the laser liposuction technique.

In many cases, the best way forward is to combine the two.

The main advantage of jet stream assisted liposuction is as follows: no extensive infiltration of fluids is required and therefore it is much more precise, it is virtually bloodless and enables removal of large quantities of fat in a relatively short time.

The third, and crucial advantage of the water jetstream assisted liposuction technique is that it enables to simultaneously harvest excellent quality fat grafts, which in our practice is mainly used for breast and buttock augmentation as well as a natural filler in facial rejuvenation.

Body Jet uses a very precise waterstream to remove fat preserving viability of the cells. The fat harvested in this way can be used to inject it elsewhere.
The basis for Body Jet is that the fat harvested in this way contains all its inherent growth factors and stem cells, resulting in optimum conditions for graft survival.

The main advantage of laser liposuction is that it provides very even and reliable retraction of the skin. I like to use the laser technique especially for arms and neck (double chin deformity).

In cases of larger deposits, it is ideal to first remove the deeper bulk of fat with Body Jet liposuction, and then treat the more superficial layer with the laser for best skin retraction.

Both of the abovementioned body contouring techniques have significant advantages over “conventional” liposuction.

I have in fact completely abandoned tumescent lipsouctuion in my department.
Tumescent liposuction, to my opinion is an outdated technqiue which has no other advantage than it does not reuqire any major investments in gear other than a suction tube and a cannula.

Both techniques, laser liposuction and water jet stream assisted liposuction are day case procedures under local anesthetic.
