Liposuction
Tumescent Liposuction
The tumescent technique is a relatively new liposuction method that can reduce post operative bruising, swelling and pain. Because blood loss is minimized during tumescent liposuction, use of the technique reduces the chance that a blood transfusion will be needed. In the tumescent technique, areas of excess fat are injected with a large amount of anesthetic liquid before liposuction is performed. The liquid causes the compartments of fat to become swollen and firm or "tumesced." The expanded fat compartments allow the liposuction cannula to travel smoothly beneath the skin as the fat is removed.
Microaire
The MicroAire Power Assisted Lipoplasty Device uses a 2-mm reciprocating movement at 4000 cycles per minute to facilitate the movement of the cannula in tissue. So less force is required, especially in areas with more fibrous tissue. That makes the lipoplasty procedure easier on both patients and surgeons. It will ease your mind to learn that the PALŪ is not ultrasonic. No heat is generated by the instrument or cannula, so burning isn't a concern.
