What are the differences or benefits of Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction vs. Power Assisted Liposuction?
A. Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction or UAL actually emulsifies the fat cell’s creating less trauma to the patient. Patients have better skin retraction, because it is less traumatic. Studies have shown that due to less trauma the patient has a quicker recovery time. Power Assisted Liposuction or PAL basically makes the surgeons job easier. We have not seen studies that show any patient benefits. There is no difference between the traditional approach for liposuction and PAL.
