Options and Variations
It is a safe and reliable technique for fat removal. The traditional option is called a suction-assisted or tumescent liposuction, where a vacuum assisted tube is placed under the skin and used to harvest unwanted body fat. Variations are mostly modifications on the process giving a greater degree of control or enabling doctors to remove a larger quantity of body fat. Some variants Dr. Raj may recommend for his patients include:
Vaser liposuction in Watauga
Vaser liposuction is a type of liposuction procedure that uses ultrasound technology to break down and remove fat cells from specific areas of the body. The procedure involves the use of a small probe that emits ultrasonic waves to liquefy the targeted fat cells, which are then suctioned out of the body through a thin tube called a cannula.
Compared to traditional liposuction techniques, vaser liposuction is believed to be less invasive and gentler on the body’s tissues. It can be used to treat areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, and neck. Vaser liposuction is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, and patients can usually return to normal activities within a few days after the procedure.
Tumescent liposuction in Watauga
Tumescent liposuction is a type of liposuction procedure that involves the injection of a solution containing lidocaine (a local anesthetic), epinephrine (a medication that constricts blood vessels), and saline (a sterile saltwater solution) into the targeted areas of the body. The solution causes the fat cells to become swollen and firm, which makes them easier to remove.
During the procedure, a small incision is made in the skin, and a small tube called a cannula is inserted into the fatty tissue. The cannula is used to suction out the fat cells and the tumescent solution, leaving the surrounding tissue relatively intact.
Compared to other types of liposuction, tumescent liposuction is believed to be less invasive and associated with fewer risks and complications. It is typically performed under local anesthesia, which means that the patient is awake but does not feel any pain in the targeted area.
360 liposuction in Watauga
360 liposuction, also known as circumferential liposuction, is a type of liposuction procedure that targets multiple areas of the body, including the abdomen, waist, hips, back, and flanks. The goal of 360 liposuction is to provide a comprehensive body contouring treatment that addresses all areas of concern.
During the procedure, a small incision is made in the skin, and a small tube called a cannula is inserted into the fatty tissue. The cannula is used to suction out the excess fat cells in a 360-degreepattern around the body, providing a more even and comprehensive result.
360 liposuction is typically performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep during the procedure. The recovery time for 360 liposuction varies depending on the extent of the procedure, but patients can usually return to normal activities within a few weeks after the procedure.
Additionally, candidates for 360 liposuction should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results that can be achieved.
