How Does Liposuction Work?

Liposuction essentially “suctions” fat deposits concentrated in specific areas around the body through tiny incisions made in the skin. There are a few different types of liposuction treatments. As always, Dr. Ringpfeil will work directly with you to determine the safest, most effective course of action for you.

• Power-assisted liposuction gets rid of unwanted fat through a metal suction tube- called a cannula- that is inserted into the target area. Because PAL involves special vibrating cannula, fat deposits are broken down more easily and less force is needed to remove the fatty tissue.
• Laser-assisted liposuction, such as SmartLipo, uses low-energy waves to heat and melt the fat so as to make it easier to suction out of problem areas.
• Ultrasound-assisted liposuction, such as Vaser, uses ultrasound technology to liquefy and break down fat cells for easier removal. It is most commonly used to target the patient’s back, sides, neck, and upper abdomen.

Depending on the extent of your treatment, either local or general anesthesia will be administered to ease pain and discomfort. Results from your liposuction procedure will materialize almost immediately. Bruising and swelling is completely normal post-surgery as your skin begins to tighten. Dr. Ringpfeil will go over expected recovery more extensively with you in-person. With proper upkeep through healthy dieting and adequate exercise, your liposuction results have the potential to last a lifetime.
