What are the different types of liposuction?
The different types of liposuction that are most effective in removing fat from various parts of the body are:
- Tumescent Liposuction- It is a traditional technique that involves using a large volume of lidocaine and epinephrine. These solutions are injected into the subcutaneous fat tissues to make them swell. Then the cannula is used to emulsify the fat, and the tissues are removed through vacuum suction.
- Power-assisted Liposuction- As the name suggests, this technique involves using a special type of cannula that moves in a back-and-forth or to-and-fro direction and is operated with a machine. This type of liposuction is used to remove fat from difficult areas or in the case where the patient has had liposuction surgery previously. It can also be used to transfer large volumes of fat from one area to another to give precise results.
- Laser-assisted Liposuction- This is a modern type of liposuction in which laser technology is used to burn or melt fat deposits. A laser probe is inserted in the targeted area and removed slowly while it emits heat energy that breaks down the fat. Lastly, the suction device is used to extract the fat safely.
- Ultrasound-assisted Liposuction- It is another form of minimally invasive liposuction that involves using ultrasound energy to get rid of the fat. A third-generation UAL device is used to melt the fat tissues, and they are extracted through a special vacuum device. While the tumescent and power-assisted liposuction serves only as fat removal treatment, the advanced techniques, i.e., laser & VASER liposuction, also help to improve the skin. These modern treatments will boost collagen production that will give a smoother finish to the skin after fat removal. You can discuss the pros and cons of each liposuction technique with an expert plastic surgeon and pick the one that is best for you.

How can I prevent fat accumulation after having liposuction surgery?
Once you’ve had liposuction surgery, the doctor will advise you to make significant changes in your overall lifestyle. These changes will ensure that fat doesn’t accumulate in the area that was treated through liposuction. The changes you’ll have to make are given below:
- Dietary Changes- Reduce your calorie intake to ensure that you don’t gain body fat. Eat smaller meals multiple times a day to keep your stomach full and reduce your intake of carbohydrates and sugar. Switch to a high-protein diet that will boost your metabolism and help you burn more calories.
- Physical Activities- Exercising is another way to prevent subcutaneous fat from depositing after liposuction surgery. When you exercise, you burn the extra calories in your body that make it easier for you to stay in shape and prevent fat from depositing in different parts of your body.
- Mental Health- For many people, mental health is also a big contributor to fat deposition. Mental stress is one of the major causes of hormonal imbalance, which results in fat accumulation. Therefore, it is important that you manage your stress levels to prevent becoming fat after having liposuction surgery.
