A. Manual/Conventional/ Suction Assisted ( SAL) Liposuction Surgery

A) Dry Liposuction Surgery

  • No infiltration of any kind of fluid
  • Blood loss is much more
  • NOW RARELY USED,
  • It is used only during small touch-up procedures.

B) Wet liposuction

  • Local anesthesia and blood loss preventing medicine are infiltrated at the operative site.
  • A special infiltration machine is used for the purpose
  • Fluid disperse between fat cells and fat becomes soft and blood vessels get contracted
  • Fat aspiration is gentle, less traumatic

1. Tumescent Liposuction Surgery:

  • The ratio of infiltrate and aspiration is 2:1 or more.
  • The tissue becomes turgid and compresses blood vessels

Benefits:

  • Minimal blood loss, about 1 percent of the aspirate
  • A small area can be treated in local anaesthesia with the tumescent liposuction technique.

Limitations

Infiltrate fluid requirement is high, so large area or many areas can’t be treated with tumescent liposuction.

2. Super wet Liposuction Surgery:

  • The ratio of infiltrate and aspiration is 1:1.

Benefits:

  • When many area or large area are needed to be treated
  • Useful for Large volume or mega liposuction
  • Blood loss is 1 to 2 percent of the aspirate.

Limitations:

  • Additional anaesthesia will be needed.

3.  Wet Liposuction Surgery:

  • The ratio of infiltrate and aspiration is less than 1:1.
  • The blood loss is about 4 to 5% of the aspirate.

4.  SAFE (Separation, fat aspiration & fat equalization) Liposuction Surgery:

  • Infiltration done and tissue is made turgid
  • Multiple tunneling without aspiration is done
  • Improves the spreading of infiltrate
  • Softens fat and separation of the fats
  • Aspiration becomes less traumatic.

B) Energy-based Devise Liposuction

1) Vaser Liposuction Surgery:

    • Vaser stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance.
    • This is an advanced ultrasound technology to melt the fat without affecting surrounding blood vessels, nerves or structural tissue.
    • Followed by extraction of fat by low pressure suction.
    • Vaser liposuction surgery is called as Liposelection.
    • Vaser Liposuction is Approved by US FDA.


2) Laser Liposuction Surgery:

In laser liposuction surgery, laser energy is delivered to the fat area through a small cannula. Which is converted to heat and  ruptures the fat cells. Now many wavelength or combination of wavelength lasers is available. Temperature sensor makes them safe. Sono Bello and CoolSculpting both remove excess fat.

Sono Bello is a laser liposuction procedure. In this Method  surgeon manually removes fat through incisions in your target areas.

Laser lipolysis: If the area is small, the ruptured fat cells will be removed from the body system. No suction is done after laser treatment.

Laser-assisted liposuction: When the LASER treatment area is large after laser fat is aspirated than it is called Smartlipo is an example of laser liposuction.


3) Power-assisted Liposuction Surgery:

  • The Hand piece is motorized. Attached cannula moves to & fro direction or a rotating movement or tickling movement. Some of the machines are micro air, POWEREX.
Benefits:
  • lipoplasty is done in a more controlled manner.
  • Reduces strenuous work, reduces fatigue
  • Improved Result
  • Increases safety
  • Special use in liposuction of a fibrous area like the upper back, gynecomastia, or revision surgery.

  • In water jet liposuction,tissue Infiltration is done in a pulsating mode by machine. Here a small amount of infiltrating is required, which disperse in the treatment area evenly.


5) RF Liposuction (Radio frequency):

RF liposuction surgery, A bipolar high-frequency current is used. One probe goes inside and one probe remains outside. The advanced machine has a temperature sensor for protection likewise Bodyline liposuction.

Benefits:

  • It gives better skin tightening like Laser.

Limitations

  • There is a comparatively high rate of seroma.

6) J Plasma Liposuction:

A patented machine capable of producing an ionized stream of helium gas via a handheld probe. It provides dual benefit such as melting fat along with skin tightening effect. The technology also provides sealing effect so no scars and stitching required. The heat also indirectly leads to synthesis of new collagen thus providing the aforementioned skin tightening effect.

Benefits:

  • No scarring
  • Minimal pain

There are various non-invasive liposuction technologies like ultrasonic, laser, vacuum, cryoliposis available for fat reduction. Broken fat is believed to be drain by body lymphatic system and metabolised in the liver.

But as of today, they have very limited effectiveness. Stringent diet and exercise are needed to see the result.

They may act as adjuvant after surgery or very minor correction. Improvement of All non-invasive techniques holds a promising future

They Are:-

  • Ultrasonic liposuction:

Ultrasound waves are produced with transducer and passed through the skin. Suppose to melt the fat and which is drained by lymphatic.

External led (laser emitting diode) heat the body area. Said to melt the fat.

  • RF liposuction:

external radiofrequency current / monopole or bipolar probe is there. Hand piece is moved constantly. It heats the fat and melts it. This is drained by lymphatic.

  • Vacuum suction:

treatment probe is placed on body area. Tissue is sucked in hand probe. This breaks the fat cells. Like vela shape.

  • Cryolipolysis:

Treatment arm is put on the body area covered with special membrane. Hand piece suck the tissue and freeze it. Which breaks and destroy the fat cells. Example is cool sculpting

  • HIFU(High Intensity Focused Ultrasound):

Powerful ultrasound waves are focused on few points. Fat cells  at targeted point get broken, which is useful for minor fat accumulation.

The actual goal of the preoperative preparation and liposuction surgery is to achieve a desired body contour in the least traumatic way with utmost safety and smooth recovery

Although very rare, liposuction surgery have same complication and risk like  any other surgery. Tumescent and vaser liposuction have reduced the complication risk.And the risk of complications increases with large volume or mega liposuction surgery or doing multiple procedures at the same operation session.

A. Liposuction Surgery specific complications:

  • Bleeding:

it is very rare as, blunt cannula is used for liposuction.

  • Seroma:

Accumulation of fluid is called a seroma. Small seroma gets absorbed by itself. This fluid may need to be drained with a needle. Open drainage technique reduces seroma

  • Infection:

Surgical site infection is rare but possible. A severe skin infection may be life-threatening

  • Contour irregularities:

Skin may look irregular, bumpy, or wavy due to uneven fat removal, poor healing, or thinly stretched skin. These changes may be permanent. Even difficult to reduce with revision

  •  Skin necrosis/ loss of skin
  • Spot/ pigmentations:

Skin may appear spotted, but rarely does it become permanent.

  • Numbness:

One may have temporary or permanent numbness in the operative hyperesthesia due to temporary nerve irritation is also possible.

  • Fat embolism:

Again, very rare, can happen with mega liposuction. Broken fat may travel through the blood and gather in the lungs or to the brain. A fat embolism is a medical emergency.

  • Kidney and heart problems:

As a large quantity of fluid is injected and suctioned out as it can cause potentially life-threatening kidney, heart, or lungs problem.

  • Lidocaine toxicity:

Lidocaine is an anesthetic drug in infiltration fluid. Although it is safe, in a rare circumstance, lidocaine toxicity can occur, causing serious heart and central nervous system problems.

  • Internal puncture:

It is extremely rare. A cannula can go too deep, may puncture an internal organ. This may require emergency surgical repair.

B. Anesthesia related complications:

Small reaction to major reaction or fluid imbalance can happen. And it is rarest rare death can happen.

There are 2 most important factors that reduce the risk & complications:

  1. Expert liposuction surgeon and
  2. Accredited cosmetic surgery center with advance life saving facility
