Treatment Options
As each individual is different, Dr.Collins will discuss various treatment options within your consultation, such as Suction-Assisted Liposuction, Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction, and Laser-Assisted Liposuction. A Liposuction surgery involves a cannula (straw) to be inserted into a small incision next to the desired treatment area. The straw suctions up the fat that is within the surrounding area.
Suction-Assisted Liposuction
The most traditional form of lipectomy breaks up the fat and uses a high-negative-pressure vacuum to remove the fat through a hollow instrument inserted beneath the skin.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction
Ultrasound technology – high-pitched sound waves – is employed to heat the fat and “melt” it into a more easily removable emulsion for suctioning. This can reduce discomfort, promote a faster recovery – and produce great results.
Laser-Assisted Liposuction
A minimal invasion treatment generally requiring only local anesthesia. You may have heard terms like ProLipo PLUS™ from Sciton. A laser fiber is introduced through a small cannula, delivering energy directly to subcutaneous fat cells-to disrupt them. The emitted energy also coagulates tissue, thus inducing collagen retraction and tissue tightening. This allows less bruising and recovery time.
Is The Fat Permanently Removed?
Fat cells that are removed within the process don’t reappear. Although, it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regime to keep new fat cells away.
