Targeted Areas for Liposculpture Surgery

Liposculpture treatment targets areas that are unresponsive to exercise and diet. Some of the most common areas liposculpture surgery is used for are:

  • Abs
  • Back
  • Hips
  • Thighs
  • Buttocks 

Types of Liposculpture Surgery:

There are four main techniques your surgeon might use while performing liposculpture surgery:

Tumescent liposculpture: This is the most common type of liposuction. During the procedure, your surgeon will inject a sterile solution that helps remove fat, an anesthetic (lidocaine) to relieve pain, and a drug that causes your blood vessels to contract (epinephrine).

Ultrasound-assisted liposculpture (UAL): In this type of ultrasonic liposculpture, the surgeon will use a cannula that uses sound waves to rupture the fat cells. Since the fat will be liquified, it will be easier to extract it.

Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL): Your surgeon will use a laser to rupture the fat cells to liquefy them during LAL. Once the cells are liquefied, the surgeon will remove them.

Water-jet-assisted liposuction: This type requires the surgeon to use pressurized saline to loosen the fat cells instead of rupturing them. It will make the fat removal process smoother and quicker.
