Tickle Lipo: simple explanation

Tickle liposuction is a modified power assisted technique that instead of an in-and-out uses a rotational movement of the tip similar to the tip of your finger drawing a small circle.

Tickle liposuction

Tickle liposuction is a branded name for a liposuction technique. It appears to use the PALS technique, a vibrating tip on the end of a liposuction tube. PALS is widely used. As you will hear from many of the doctors answering these questions, it is far more important to research the surgeon than the branded technique. For procedures performed under purely local anesthesia with no sedation, despite what many patients are told, there is no "tickling"... more

For liposuction choose the surgeon before the technology

There are a number of techniques used for liposuction, many of them with brand names and advertising and PR campaigns. However, most of the docs on Real Self will tell you that the most important thing in getting a good result and having a comfortable experience with lipo is to choose an experienced surgeon.
