There are three different methods for liposuction.
- Tumescent liposuction (fluid injection): This is the most commonly used method, where a medicated solution is injected to the fat tissue before the suction process. Subsequently, the excessive fat cells are suctioned with small tubes inserted from incisions on the skin.
- Laser-Assisted Liposuction: The solid fat tissue is turned into liquid using laser beams. Small tubes are used to drain this fat tissue from millimetric incisions.
- Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction: Small cannula are extended inside the fat tissue and vibrated. This will loosen the fat, which can then be drained.
