Tumescent liposuction, Super-wet technique, Ultrasound-assisted liposuction and Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL)

The most used techniques are Ultrasound-assisted liposuction and Laser-assisted liposuction

• Ultrasound-assisted liposuction is ultrasonic vibrations which turn fat cells into liquid. And later on, the cells can be sucked (vacuumed) out using special emitter above the surface of the skin or internal with a small, heated cannula below the surface of the skin. This technique may help remove fat from dense, fiber-filled areas of the body like the upper back or male breast tissue. UAL is often used with the tumescent technique, in follow-up (secondary) procedures, or for greater precision.

• Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL). It uses laser energy to liquefy fat cells. They can be vacuumed out or allowed to drain out via small tubes After the cells are liquefied. One of the advantages of LAL over other liposuction techniques is that energy from the laser stimulates collagen production. This helps in prevent skin sagging after liposuction. Collagen is the fiber-like protein that helps maintain skin structure.
