What Is Liposuction
(Fat Removal)? What Are The Techniques?

Liposuction techniques differ according to the tools and methods used. Here are detailed explanations of these techniques:

• Vaser Liposuction, Vaser liposuction is a modern liposuction technique using sound waves. In this method, sound waves explode fat cells and liquefy fat tissue. The liquefied fat is sucked out through special cannulas. Vaser liposuction is especially effective for hard and difficult to remove fat tissues. In addition, this technique causes minimal damage to the surrounding tissues and provides a healing process with less swelling and bruising.
• Tumescent Liposuction, Tumescent liposuction is a method in which anesthetic solution, serum, adrenaline and bicarbonate are injected into the targeted area before fat removal. This solution swells the fat tissue and expands its area of localization, thus facilitating the suction of fat cells. Cannulas are inserted into the fat tissue, allowing the fat cells to be broken down and absorbed. Tumescent technique reduces pain and accelerates post-operative recovery.
• Laser Liposuction, Laser liposuction is a technique that uses laser beams to target fat tissue. The laser beams heat and liquefy the fat cells and this liquefied fat is then sucked out with the help of cannulas. It is often used in combination with tumescent liposuction because the effect of the laser allows the fat cells to break down more easily. Laser liposuction is particularly suitable for less dense fatty tissues and also provides a skin tightening effect.
• Superficial Liposuction, Superficial liposuction is a technique that targets excess fat both deep and near the skin surface. This method removes the fat tissue under the skin while removing the ones close to the skin surface. After superficial liposuction, the skin gains a firmer and more vibrant appearance. It can also be effective in getting rid of stubborn cellulite.
• Suction Assisted Liposuction, Suction assisted liposuction is performed with a small tube used during the operation. This tube drains the fat tissue in the area with slow and controlled movements. The fat tissue is sucked through the tube and the destroyed fat tissues are cleaned. This technique is usually effective in smaller and narrower areas.
• Power Assisted Liposuction, Power assisted liposuction is a technique performed using motorized cannulas. The tip of the cannulas is vibrated by the motor and these vibrations break down the fat tissue. This method is particularly suitable for dense and hard adipose tissues and provides a more effective removal of fat tissue.
• Radiofrequency Assisted Liposuction, Radiofrequency assisted liposuction is a technique that increases collagen production by heating the dermis, the lower layer of the skin. During this procedure, the skin is heated with a bipolar radio frequency device. The heat generated by radiofrequency on the skin helps the skin to tighten and gain a smoother appearance. This technique provides a firmer and younger skin appearance after liposuction.
