Liposuction techniques

1. (VASER) technique or vibration Amplification of sound Energy and resonance is one of the most modern and sophisticated techniques
   It mainly uses ultrasound waves to break apart fat cells and liquefy the fat deposits so that they can be easily removed during the procedure
   it provides pain-free and minimally invasive liposuction thanks to the small size of its device (3 mm).and it also achieves a degree of skin tightening because it stimulates collagen production
   during the surgery, a small incision is made to allow a numbing solution to be infiltered which works as a medium for the ultrasound device and then the device that gives out high-frequency sound waves is inserted which makes the fatty tissue break up, and last the cannula will be used to vacuum out the fatty tissue through the same incision
   we place the incision in discrete areas to minimize the noticeable scars after the surgery for example in the belly button and near the bikini line.

2. MicroAire technique or (PAL) power-assisted liposuction
   The unique feature of this technique is it provides the cannula with an extremely gentle back and forth movement which is significantly helpful in passing through toughened tissues like fibrous tissue
   This new technique gives you a safer experience because unlike other techniques it does not use heat so there are no worries about accidental burnings.
   and the cannula movement facilitates the process which leaves you with faster and easier procedure for both patient and surgeon, as well as less bruising, less swelling and more preciseness.
   It is suitable for both small or large volume fat extraction and most important of all the tissues are not damaged which means it can be used for autologous grafting.

3. j plasma: J-Plasma is a relatively new technology that uses radio-frequency (RF) waveform technology that works in combination with helium gas to tighten the skin in areas where tissues have started to sag skin. It is a non-surgical procedure for skin tightening that works just as good as the invasive ones!
   The device has a small cannula that is inserted under the skin (i.e., the neck or any place in the body) with small incisions. Through this cannula, a combination of helium gas and RF will go to the skin, causing skin tissues to shrink instantly, which removes wrinkles to create a toned and youthful appearance. All patients see some level of improvement from J Plasma treatment.

Before liposuction procedure

There are a few steps you should follow to be prepared for the liposuction procedure and achieve the desired result:

• First of all, you should have enough sleep and rest well the day before the surgery

• No food for 12 hours prior to the procedure

• If you are sunbathing or tanning, you should put that on pause so that you don’t irritate the skin

• You will undergo blood workup and medical evaluation with a close focus on cardiovascular and pulmonary status

• You may have to stop some of your medications, for example, those which can increase bleeding such as blood thinners and NSAIDs (Aspirin) for 2 weeks before the surgery

• You also have to stop vitamins like vitamin C and vitamin E for 4 weeks before the surgery

• it’s very important to cut smoking before and after the surgery as well as cutting alcohol for at least 48 hours before the surgery

Steps incise the procedure

first of all, there is the marking, which is using a surgical marker to indicate areas to be treated

it should be done almost always in the standing position. we also use another color to indicate avoidance areas.

Then the patient undergoes general anesthesia and this helps in easing repositioning as well as reducing lidocaine use

And as the surgery starts the surgeon uses cannulas in different lengths and sizes depending on the area, volume and type of tissue to drag localized fat collections without long incisions

the procedure usually takes less than three hours and you can get back to work after one week (but you have to avoid extreme activities)

You may not be able to see the result immediately after the procedure because of the edema. however, this will fade gradually with time. the final result is seen after 1 to 3 months
