What is Power Assisted Liposuction?
Power assisted liposuction uses a power cannula to facilitate movement in the tissue, whereas the surgeon manually manipulates the cannula in more traditional liposuction procedures. The benefits include less body trauma on the patient, which promotes quicker recovery and faster healing. « Back to FAQs If you are interested in finding a plastic surgeon in the Denver, Colorado area, contact us or call 303-321-3210 to schedule a consultation.
Power assisted liposuction utilizes a vibrating cannula inserted through small incisions to break up fat cells. Since the instrument mechanically vibrates on its own, the physician does not need to exert as much force or energy as with traditional liposuction techniques. The cannula’s movements loosen the fat cells, making it easier to gently extract them from the body. This technique reduces the risk of scarring, bruising, and swelling after the liposuction procedure.
