Liposuction: step-by-step
Liposuction can be performed in 2 ways:
- surgical
- non-surgical.
Usually, the non-surgical liposuction cost is lower than a surgical one. But only a doctor can recommend you the best lipo option according to your body condition.
Nowadays, there are a lot of liposuction types. The most popular are:
1. Suction-assisted liposuction. It is a surgical method to remove the excess fat with a vacuum device. A doctor makes little incisions and inserts a cannula (long tube) connected to a vacuum device. It draws off the fat cells. Just after the procedure, hematomas remain. The vacuum lipo cost depends on the chosen clinic in a particular country, doctor’s expertise, size of the problem area. But the suction-assisted liposuction price is usually lower than the ultrasound one, for instance.
Advantages: the ability to remove a big amount of fat (about 10 l), a doctor estimates the result immediately during the surgery and may correct it.
Disadvantages: numerous hematomas, prolonged recovery period.
2. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction. During the procedure, fat is destroyed by ultrasonic waves directed to fatty cells via a special probe. After ultrasound lipo, no scars or hematomas remain. The procedure is performed on a device, produced by VASER company. That is why this technique is also known as VASER lipo. VASER lipo cost is higher than the above-mentioned one.
Advantages: removes a big amount of fat (about 8 l), no scars and hematomas, reduces cellulite.
Disadvantages: several procedures may be required, a risk of thermal burn.
3. Laser liposuction, also known as Smart Lipo. It is a lipo technique to remove local fat deposits. A doctor makes a small incision and inserts light-emitting diode under the skin. It directs a laser to dilute fat. About 2 l of fat is removed by applying laser lipo.
Advantages: the procedure promotes collagen production, it is allowed to perform on the neck and face area.
