I understand the technical differences between laser, ultrasound, power and radio-frequency assisted lipo. I also get that it’s the doctor’s skills that play the most important role. With all that said, would any particular method be recommended for male flanks and lower abdomen? Are any particular methods more effective than others? Thank you for your help.
Answer: What type of liposuction to use? Hi and welcome to our forum!Liposuction involves removal of fat through small pipes (cannulas) placed under the skin under extreme vacuum after pretreatment with an infusion of solution containing a blood vessel constrictor (to prevent bleeding) and an anesthetic (if performed awake). Augmented liposuction utilizes laser energy or ultrasonic energy to semiliquify the fat, making it easier to remove and adds a subtle skin tightening effect.Liposuction is a safe procedure. It is a reshaping procedure and not a weight loss procedure. In general, the experience of the surgeon is more important than the type of instrument utilized.There are many brands of liposuction equipment available, each manufacturer claiming that their brand is the best. I recommend you visit a plastic surgeon with considerable liposuction experience and allow him / her to use the instrument with which he / she feels most comfortable.Best wishes...
