What is sucked out during lipo?

hello postoplipo  he procedure is carried out by making a small incision usually 4-5 mm or one –quarter inch in areas that are well hidden on the body wherever possible. A blunt tipped instrument called a cannula attached to a machine that creates a vacuum. The cannula is passed back ad forth gently removing the fat. #procedure #fat

Great question. During liposuction a mixture of IV fluid, local anesthetic and a vasoconstricting medication is injected into the fat that will be removed. Liposuction removes fat along with the injected fluid. Usually about 30-40% of the aspirated fluid is pure fat. Sometimes a small amount of blood comes out to, but this is typically minimal.

Thank you for your question. My initial answer was going to be "fat," but I will try to do better. At the beginning of liposuction, a special fluid is injected that contains saline, local anesthesia, epinephrine, and sometimes other additives. This fluid is referred to as tumescent. This fluid prepares the fat tissue for removal and helps with discomfort and prevents bleeding. The cannulas are then used to remove a combination of fat tissue and the tumescent, often what is referred to as "lipoaspirate."Hope this helps!
