Liposuction Methods

Traditional Liposuction

• Basic Steps
  • Injection of tumescent solution in the liposuction area

• Suitable Areas
  • Suitable for soft tissue areas
• Pros and Cons

  • VASER generates 36,000 Hz ultrasonic vibrations
  • Effectively dissolves fat
• Experiment
  • Rapid emulsification of lard using VASER probe
