The amount of medicated solution injected is quite large and is almost three times the fat that is to be removed. The liquid makes the suction of fat easier with less pain and blood loss. This method of liposuction is the most common one.
2. Ultrasound assisted liposuction: Ultrasound assisted liposuction or shortly UAL is a method where ultrasonic vibration is used to turn fat cells into liquid. It is done in two ways- in external way it is done above the surface of the skin with an emitter and in internal way it is done below the skin with a small cannula. UAL is done specially for fat removal from dense, fibrous areas of the body.
3. Laser assisted liposuction: Laser assisted liposuction or shortly LAL is a method where laser energy is used to liquefy the fat. The laser produces o large amount of energy and thus helps in suction of fat after it gets liquefied. The liquid fat is then drained out through small tubes. This technique is also called SmartLipo.
4. Super wet technique: This technique is similar with tumescent liposuction but here the amount of fluid injected is less. Here the amount of medicated solution inserted is equal to the amount of fat to be removed.
