What is the abdominal ultrasonic liposuction like?
Ultrasonic Liposuction is usually performed in an office or clinic setting under local anesthesia. Patients remain awake and alert during the entire procedure.First, the surgeon numbs the skin and places one or two small incisions in the upper and lower abdomen. Using gentle suction, excess fat is removed with a small vibrating cannula, or straw-like instrument.The cannula is only 3mm-about the size of a cooked spaghetti noodle-and leaves no unsightly scars.The procedure lasts for about one to two hours, and patients walk out of the office with their new, sculpted bodies.
