Are there different liposuction techniques?
There are several different methods surgeons use when performing liposuction, including the super-wet technique, ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), and laser assisted liposuction. In all types a tiny incision is made in as inconspicuous a place as possible. A cannula (small tube) is inserted and moved back-and-forth beneath the skin, breaking up the fat layer and suctioning it out. Super-wet liposuction use fluid injection, which facilitates fat removal, reduces blood loss, provides anesthesia during and after surgery, and helps to reduce the amount of bruising after surgery. Ultrasound and lasers help liquefy fat thereby making removal easier.
