Liposuction

Liposuction

 

Liposuction is the process of removing fat tissue from areas such as the abdomen, chin, arms, and hips, where regional fat accumulates despite diet and exercise, for body shaping purposes using various techniques. Although liposuction is considered a weight loss method, it is actually a body shaping surgery.

There are 4 methods used in liposuction operations.
1. Classic liposuction: It is the removal of fat from the body by inserting a cannula through small skin incisions with the help of vacuum.
2. Laser liposuction: In laser liposuction, fats are first broken down with a laser and then removed from the body.
3. Ultrasonic liposuction (VASER): In Vaser liposuction, fats are broken down with ultrasonic sound waves and then removed from the body.
4. Radiofrequency liposuction: In this technique, fats are melted with radiofrequency waves and, unlike other methods, it also helps tighten the skin.
