Plastic surgeons can use one of several different types of techniques to perform liposuction surgery. These techniques include dry, wet, tumescent, super-wet, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, and power-assisted liposuction (MicroAire) techniques.
Liposuction has been the most common cosmetic surgical procedure over the last 20 years. Itâs a great procedure and it is very effective at body contouring. But it certainly has its risks. Infections, bleeding, blood clots, and even deaths have occurred. So, plastic surgeons have been searching for ways to remove fat without surgery. The best new technique is called focused ultrasound â with the Ultrashape machine. Thatâs a technique that harnesses sound energy and funnels it down to a tiny point â so that the intense sound actually explodes the fat.
