Liposuction Overview
Liposuction is a popular treatment that removes stubborn fat deposits on the abdominal wall, hips, and thighs when the area does not respond to a healthy diet or exercise regime. It is not, however, used as a method of weight loss. Results may also vary from person to person. Lipoplasty can also be used on the upper arms, face, knees, calves, and ankles. Liposuction can be combined with other surgical procedures and/or can be used to treat multiple areas of the body at a time.

Do I Qualify?
Liposuction is most commonly performed on the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, neck, and even on knees. To be a good candidate, patients should be in good health and experience:
- Excessive (under 20 pounds) localized fat deposits that cannot be altered with diet and exercise
- Disproportionate areas of the body
- Good skin elasticity
- Completed weight loss
- No future plans for pregnancy
Age can be a factor in liposuction, as skin loses elasticity and firmness as we grow old. The procedure can be performed as long as your skin has good elasticity.
Different Types of Liposuction at Elite Plastic Surgery
There are several variations on liposuction our plastic surgeons use at Elite Plastic Surgery, including:
Tumescent
A large amount of an anesthetic solution is injected into the fatty tissue. The fluid consists of local anesthetic lidocaine, a drug that contracts the blood vessels (epinephrine), and an intravenous (IV) salt solution. The lidocaine helps to numb the area during and after surgery, epinephrine minimizes blood loss, and the IV solution eliminates the fat more easily.
Super-Wet Technique
Being a short process, the super-wet technique is quite similar to tumescent liposuction. The only difference is that less amount of fluid is required during the surgery. In other words, the amount of fluid injected is equal to the amount of fat to be removed.
Power-Assisted (PAL)
This is liposuction performed using a power vacuum tool with a suction technique.
Ultrasound-Assisted (UAL)
This technique makes use of ultrasonic vibrations to liquefy the fat, thereby making it easier to remove. This technique can be applied to the upper abdomen, sides, and back. After liquefying the cells, they are vacuumed out. Being a longer process, UAL can be done externally above the surface of the skin with a special emitter or internally below the surface of the skin with a small, heated cannula. However, the risk of burns and scarring comes from the ultrasound waves.
4D Liposuction via VASERLipo
VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. This technology helps reduce pain and downtime by melting fat away and even transferring the fat to other parts of the body for fat transfer breast lift and Brazilian butt lift. Another benefit of VASER High Definition Lipo is the ability to target problematic areas with much more accuracy than traditional liposuction in order to help sculpt problem areas. High Definition VASER Lipo can even help sculpt the abdomen to create more defined, “six-pack abs.”
