If you have unwanted fat in a hard to treat area, such as your chin, cheeks, calves or ankles, then having the ultrasonic liposuction is the procedure for you.
This type of liposuction procedure works by emitting high frequency sound waves that melt away the fat. This procedure is normally performed along with tumescent liposuction for people who really need to recontour their body. After the fat is melted, it is then mixed with tumescent fluid through injection which makes the fat easier to remove. The injection of this liquid also helps prevent fluid loss during the surgery.
There are many benefits to having this type of liposuction performed. This surgery is able to get rid of fat in areas where the fat is more dense. It is also able to remove a lot of fat at one time. During the surgery, the skin can also be tightened which makes this procedure a great alternative to having a tummy tuck or a face lift. This surgery is most often used as a fine tuning procedure, since it is more precise.
Although there are many benefits from this surgery, there are also many risks. Since a lot of heat is generated during the procedure, there is an increased change of scarring, burning, and getting blisters. A well experienced surgeon should know how to avoid those problems, but the patient should still be noted of them. Having this surgery can also cause Seroma. This is a condition where the body tries to refill the lost fat areas with fluid. The excess fluid has to be continuously drained throughout the procedure.
Ultrasonic Liposuction can treat all areas of the body that any other types of liposuction can treat. It will work on the chin, the male breasts, love handles, and the areas around the neck.
