Vaser Liposuction for Scarless Breast Lift
Currently, the five most common liposuction techniques for weight loss are:
Tumescent Anesthesia Technique: Simply put, this involves injecting a large volume of saline solution containing lidocaine (an anesthetic) and epinephrine (a vasoconstrictor) into the treatment area before performing liposuction.This technique features surgery under local anesthesia, allowing for large-volume fat removal with minimal bleeding, rapid recovery, and excellent results. The anesthetic effects of lidocaine persist for up to 12 hours post-surgery, eliminating the need for additional pain medication.
Syringe Liposuction: This method uses the negative pressure of a syringe to extract fat tissue from the target area. A solution containing anesthetic is injected into the subcutaneous fat layer through one or more needle punctures. This solution causes the fat tissue to expand and liquefy, which is then suctioned out through the syringe's negative pressure. The extraction speed is relatively slow, and the volume removed is typically smaller.Its advantage lies in minimal trauma, making it particularly suitable for small-area liposuction, such as the submental region or facial areas.
Electric Suction-Assisted Liposuction: Employing anesthesia techniques, one or several small incisions are made near the liposuction site. Anesthetic solution is injected through these incisions into the target area. Once anesthesia takes effect, a cannula attached to the suction device is inserted into the site, sequentially suctioning fat tissue.(Cannula diameter typically ranges from 3-4 mm). The procedure is performed under continuous suction pressure. Combined with the significantly larger diameter of the cannula compared to syringes, this substantially accelerates the procedure and increases the volume of fat removed.
The relatively small cannula diameter minimizes damage to blood vessels and nerves, resulting in minimal bleeding. (For 1000 ml of fat removed, blood loss is approximately 20-30 ml). Unless multiple areas are treated, hospitalization is unnecessary, and no noticeable scars remain post-surgery.
>Electro-liposuction: A novel technique introduced in the 1990s, electro-liposuction employs two needle-like electrodes (1.6-2.5mm) attached to a handpiece. These are inserted into the fat layer, with one needle automatically injecting anesthetic into the treatment area. Simultaneously, a high-frequency electric field is generated between the two electrodes. This field disrupts excess adipose tissue, while the other needle concurrently suctions out the liquefied fat.
The high-frequency electric field produced by this device specifically targets and disrupts fat tissue while causing minimal damage to blood vessels and nerves. Consequently, intraoperative bleeding is minimal. Since the procedure is performed using two small, fine electrodes, postoperative incisions are very small and do not require suturing. However, the cost of the procedure is relatively high.
360-Degree Circular Liposuction Body Contouring:360-degree circular liposuction body contouring determines the liposuction areas, volume, and post-operative aesthetic results based on individual characteristics and needs, following the golden ratio of human body aesthetics. It combines the technical advantages of ultrasound and suction-assisted minimally invasive liposuction to uniformly dissolve and remove fat cells from targeted areas, evenly reducing fat deposits in the waist, abdomen, buttocks, legs, face, and other regions.
360-Degree Circular Liposuction can target any area while sculpting beautiful contours—including the face, jawline, upper arms, back, waist/abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and calves.
