Liposuction is the most popular surgery in America. The procedure involves the removal of fat from various areas of the body. Many people have liposuction done because it not very invasive and can be performed on an outpatient basis. Dr. August Accetta, of the Accetta Institute of Cosmetic Surgery, offers four liposuction procedures dependent on the patient’s particular needs.
Traditional liposuction is performed when the patient needs approximately two liters of fat removed from a minimum of three problem areas. Patients are administered an anesthetic, either intravenously or through general anesthesia. The procedure involves fat removal through several small, subtle incisions. A clear sterile fluid is administered in order to reduce bleeding and trauma. Fat deposits are loosened with a cannula and the fat is removed with a surgical vacuum or syringe.
Power Assisted Liposuction, or PAL, is used to remove large fat deposits up to seven liters. By removing large fat reserves, this procedure allows for more precise body sculpting. In power assisted liposuction, the tip of the suction tube vibrates rapidly. PAL provides a number of benefits including, increased safety, reduced swelling, shorter recovery time, better efficiency, and less discomfort among many others.
Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction, or UAL, uses a revolutionary technology to liquefy fat without harming nerves and blood vessels. UAL is the best surgery for body shaping because it creates a highly defined look. Even patients who would not traditionally benefit from liposuction will see noticeable results with this particular procedure. High frequency vibrations act to break up fat cells and emulsify them. The fat can then either by massaged away or removed via a special cannula. The healing process is faster because this procedure is tissue specific.
Dr. Accetta offers patients the most advanced Laser Assisted Liposuction in the country. Named Cool Lipo, this procedure provides the most sophisticated skin tightening. Cool Lipo is a much more targeted procedure designed to give patients a highly sculpted appearance. It has the advantage of not requiring anesthesia and produces a minimal amount of bruising and swelling. In addition, because it causes minimal pain and swelling, the procedure can be performed repeatedly over a shortened period.
The Accetta Institute of Cosmetic Surgery has excellent patient consultations that will help individuals decide which procedure is best for them. Pioneering revolutionary techniques, as well as providing a personal and gentle approach, Dr. Accetta stands ready to meet your liposuction needs.
