Is Liposuction Using a Micro Cannula As Effective As Options Such As Vaser or Smart Lipo? Can It Remove As Much Fat?

 There are 2 distinct areas of fatty deposits in the neck, and these are called submental and  sub-platysmal fat. The platysma muscle separates these 2 areas of fat. Both fatty deposits must be addressed to rejuvenate the neck. Micro-cannulas and laser assisted liposuction machines cannot address sub-platysmal fat. Please see the link below for examples of fat removal in the neck in our practice with neck lift surgery.

The biggest mistake that patients seeking plastic surgery make is believing that a particular instrument is what delivers the result.  The truth about liposuction is that it is a surgery, and requires a skilled plastic surgeon.  There are many ways to do liposuction but none have proven to be safer and more effective than tumescent liposuction.  The type of cannula used is the surgeons choice not unlike the type of brush a painter would use.  I always tell patients that Michaelangelo was not a great sculptor because he had a magic hammer and chisel.  In the same way its not the device that delivers the result its the surgeon.  Please feel free to review some the chin liposuction photos on the link below to see for yourself.
