Ultrasonic assisted liposculpture, UAL

Immediate return to social life and work, skin tightening and weight loss.

Ultrasonic assisted liposculpture is the best liposculpture and body contourring method in our hands. No bloodloss, fast recovery, immediate return to social life and work. Additional positive gain is the skin tightening and weight loss.

Traditional tumescent liposuction has been very effective in young patients with mild to moderate amounts of fat. Ultrasonic liposuction expanded the number of patients suitable for body sculpting. This includes patients with larger amounts of fat and less elastic skin tone. It also allows us to treat areas not easily or effectively treated in the past. This would include fibrous areas such as the back, male breast and upper abdomen. A physical examination is required in order to verify whether you are a candidate for this procedure.

Traditional Tumescent Liposuction:
Best suited for women and men close to their ideal weight.
Best suited for women and men with good, i.e. youthful skin tone and texture.
Requires surgeon’s strength and dexterity to manipulate cannulas to “shear” fat for suctioning.
This method can be referred to as “mechanical” liposuction as opposed to “ultrasonic”.

Ultrasonic Liposuction:
Ultrasonic waves delivered through the cannula emulsify or liquefy the fat while traditional liposuction requires manual effort to pulverize adipose tissue.
Ultrasonic waves actually target fat cells specifically, causing them to “implode” and liquify for suction removal. Because fat cells alone are selected, blood and tissue loss is minimal.
Ultrasonic techniques make difficult fibrous areas easier to treat than traditional methods. These fibrous areas include the male breast, upper abdomen and fatty deposits on the back.
Traditional liposuction causes more tissue trauma and bruising than ultrasonic techniques due to tissue destruction necessary to manually break up the fat. Ultrasound emulsifies fat without damaging adjacent tissue.
”Wavy” areas of fat that are sometimes side effects of traditional liposuction are minimized by ultrasonic liposuction. Ultrasonic techniques preserve skin retration and contraction. Because ultrasound is so precise, this means smooth and even contouring is more achievable.
Ultrasonic liposuction may be performed on patients who are overweight. This is possible due to decreased blood loss and skin tightening observed with ultrasonic liposuction.
Less postoperative pain has been reported by patients undergoing ultrasonic liposuction.
Ultrasonic liposuction procedures better skin retraction and may improve cellulite.

"Ultrasonic liposuction is a form of liposuction where excess fat is liquefied using sound waves in order to help make its removal easier and smoother during liposuction.
Ultrasonic liposuction is a more advanced form of both regular lipoplasty and tumescent liposuction, which is used to get precise body contouring results. In case you are a healthy individual with fat deposits that are not going away even after continued exercise and dieting, then you can consider ultrasonic liposuction.
During ultrasonic liposuction, an aqueous solution of lidocaine, epinephrine and saline water is first injected into the area from which fat is to be removed. Small incisions are made on the sides and thin hollow tubes are inserted inside. Sound waves are transmitted to the fat with the help of this cannula, which is also used for sucking out the fat that liquefies due to the effect of the tumescent solution and ultrasonic waves.
Ultrasonic liposuction can be used for treating areas with dense fat deposits and those from which a large amount of fat removal needs to take place. Ultrasonic liposuction is far superior to other forms of liposuction since it provides extreme precision and unlike other lipoplasty procedures, leaves no loose skin.
Apart from carrying the risks associated with all cosmetic surgery procedures, ultrasonic liposuction also carries the risk. In most cases, excess fluid produced by the body to fill the fat cavity needs to be removed for a number of days."
