Can you describe the procedure of Suction Assisted Lipolysis?
Suction Assisted Lipolysis is a simple, less traumatizing procedure with minimum hospitalization. Results are immediate and definite. With the patient in standing position, fatty deposits to be contoured are outlined and the amount of fat to be removed is estimated roughly by using “Pinch Test” both pre and intra-operatively. The skin is pinched between the Index finger and the Thumb and the width of the skin fold is measured. This is a very useful method of assessing the thickness of the fold of the fat to be treated with Suction Assisted Lipolysis. During the process of suction, surgeons invariably uses this simple test to confirm and to compare various areas for sameness of the amount of fat suctioned and the layer of the fat left behind under the skin.
