Before And After Of Liposuction

Liposuction in Dubai has taken shape over the last years. Are you interested in getting it but don’t know your ideal choice? Here are a few options to consider.

Dieting and exercising may not always be enough to get rid of stubborn body fat. Some fat deposits resist natural remedies, resulting in an imbalanced and uneven appearance. This can make you feel frustrated and compelled to seek alternative solutions. These are precisely the kinds of issues that liposuction in Dubai is intended to address.

Liposuction is a fantastic procedure for people who desire to reduce their body fat percentage. Various operations, such as breast augmentation and tummy tuck, are sometimes combined to provide the best results.

Are there different types of liposuction?

Each operates in a somewhat different manner and has a unique set of pros and cons compared to the others. Understanding their differences can help you make the best decision.

1. Suction-assisted liposuction

Suction-assisted liposuction is the most common type of liposuction and has been around the longest. There are only a few minor incisions made in this technique of liposuction. A cannula, a hollow needle, is introduced into these incisions to remove the fat cells.

Depending on the degree of the surgery and your healing process, you can expect a recovery period of one to three months following this procedure. The ultimate form of your body can take anywhere from three to six months. Most people heal quickly and can return to their regular activities within a few days.

This type of liposuction can be performed on a range of body parts, including the bottom, buttocks, legs, thighs, stomach, abdomen, and arms.

Pros

  • It is the most cost-effective option available.
  • It is also one of the most common procedures performed by numerous plastic surgeons, it has been around for a long while.

Cons

  • Compared to other liposuction methods, this procedure results in the most bruising and bleeding.
  • There are higher chances of lumpiness and other defects because it is more challenging to manage fat removal. It frequently necessitates a series of procedures to achieve the desired outcomes.

2. Tumescent liposuction

In contrast to typical liposuction, tumescent liposuction uses anesthetics such as lidocaine and epinephrine to elicit swelling in the fat, making it easier to locate and remove. Because of its potent anesthetic properties, lidocaine may cause swelling in fat cells. It is common to include the blood vessel constricting agent epinephrine, as this can significantly lessen bleeding.

An anesthetic is administered into fat pockets, causing them to enlarge. It is then used to remove the fat cells with an instrument called a cannula. This type of liposuction can be practically employed in any area of the body that is routinely treated with liposuction.

Pros

  • There is less bruising and bleeding. 
  • It’s among the less expensive ways to get rid of extra body fat. 

Cons

  • Skin irregularities, lumps, dimpling, saggy skin, numbness, infections, and scarring are the most prevalent when using this method. But if they do happen, they are usually easy to fix.

3. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction UAL

Ultrasound is a technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to generate high amounts of energy in the tissues where they are focused. This has the ability to break down fat cells, making suction removal simpler.

If you have a lot of stubborn fat, such as in the stomach and waist, you may want to consider using ultrasound-aided fat removal instead of regular liposuction. The recovery time is the same as that of tumescent liposuction. 

Pros

  • Fibrous or otherwise resistant fat that would necessitate multiple treatments is swiftly removed.
  • This form of liposuction can safely remove a large volume of fat because the fat is liquified and less prone to bruising or bleeding.

Cons

  • There is a greater risk of burns and blisters since ultrasound emits high-energy photons.
  • Patients also experience numbness and the formation of blood clots.

4. Laser-assisted liposuction

Laser-assisted liposuction uses a laser to break down fat. The cannula and laser probe are inserted into multiple small incisions made by the plastic surgeon. The region is then injected with anesthetic and epinephrine to reduce pain and bleeding.

Liquid fat can be drawn out of the body via a cannula after being broken down by laser. The body absorbs any liquid fat that isn’t suctioned out during the suctioning process. It has a one-month recovery period.

Pros

  • Suctioning the liquid fat requires a cannula and a tiny laser fiber. Therefore, only small incisions are needed for this form of liposuction, and they heal fast without leaving any scars.
  • Laser liposuction is incredibly precise since the lasers are small and easy to regulate. Your surgeon can tweak or fine-tune the procedure so that you have the gorgeous and natural form you want.
  • It can be applied to any part of the body.
  • Lasers make the skin tighter and appear younger.

Cons

  • Recovery often takes longer to achieve the final appearance. 
  • Lasers generate heat, which increases the danger of burns.

5. Bodytite bipolar radiofrequency assisted liposuction

Bodytite is one of the safest liposuction treatments available so far. The BodyTite device extracts fatty tissue from beneath the skin with several cannulas and operates with a set of electrodes that concurrently aspirate the coagulated tissue and heat up the soft tissues around the treated area.

This type of liposuction uses an energy-based surgical device that helps the surgeon to better control soft tissue contraction and the contours of the face, neck, and body. It is best for patients who are looking for significant non-excisional soft tissue tightening, contraction, and wrinkle reduction. 

Pros

  • There is less scarring
  • Visible results can be seen immediately with suction. 
  • It can be performed at almost any part of the body.
  • The procedure is less traumatic which greatly reduces pain, swelling, and discomfort.
  • The recovery time is much shorter.

Which type of liposuction is best for you?

There are various aspects to consider while deciding on the type of liposuction to have. These are some of the most notable ones:

  • Where you want to get sculpting done on your body
  • The amount of fat you’d like to get rid of
  • The sum of money you intend to spend
  • The recovery time 
  • Your desired goals
  • Whether you can have a general anesthetic

Choosing the best liposuction surgeon in Dubai

A one-on-one consultation with a certified plastic surgeon is the best method to learn more about each procedure and which one is ideal for you. Before your initial appointment with your surgeon, do some research. Furthermore, liposuction is a highly personal procedure. Your surgeon and the team should make you feel safe and comfortable.
