Techniques used in liposuction

Water jet Assisted Liposuction (WAL method or BodyJet)

One of the modern methods of liposuction using a water solution in the liposuction area, targeting fatty tissue, and through the movement force caused by a water spray flowing from the tip of Caniola is inserted into the fat removal area, fat cells are dismantled by the gentle force of the water permanently while avoiding the tissues under the skin, and then suctioned after disintegration. Compared to other liposuction methods, water liposuction does not have burn effects, reduces the likelihood of swelling and bruising, which may result from traditional liposuction, ensures faster chances of healing, and helps the safety of connective tissues that tighten the skin.

Vibration-assisted liposuction (power assisted liposuction = PAL)

In vibration liposuction, an electric motor is connected to the suction channel, which gently shakes the channel about 5,000 times per minute first, a solution of saline serum, a local anesthetic and a small amount of adrenaline are injected into the body area concerned that helps the liquid to disassemble fat from the connective tissue and prevents bruises and injuries from dissolving fat by vibrating.

Which moves fat cells, strong fat is pulled more easily, resulting in tumors and less pain, and the diameter of the vials commonly used is 3 to 8 mm the goal is to get a consistent shape of the body.

(UAL) Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction

(VASER ®) Vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance

Or what is known as the laser liposuction technique, and depends on the introduction of a thin metal tube whose end emits ultrasonic waves under the skin, these waves moderately distribute heat to fat cells, leading to their expansion and melting before suction, and the process of liposuction after liquefaction is easier to allow the method of ultrasonic liposuction with minimal bruising and swelling, and ensure faster healing, and this technique can be used along with other types of liposuction

Laser-Assisted Liposuction

Is one of the latest techniques used in liposuction, relying on the use of a laser-generating device, reaching the intended areas under the body, breaking up fat and converting it from solid to liquid state, which is easy to remove and suction afterwards, and stimulates collagen that tightens the skin, not causing sagging after the process (taking advantage of the thermal effect of laser energy)

Preparations before the procedure

The specialist at Zain Clinic discusses with the patient all the details and stages of the operation, the final form it will become, and see the list of medications taken by the patient.

Some medical tests and examinations are performed for the patient, to identify sugar and pressure rates, and other blood diseases if any.

Liposuction is not suitable for people with certain diseases such as cardiovascular disease or lung diseases.

Refrain from drinking alcohol, because it is considered a blood thinner, causes bleeding during the operation, and delays the process of blood clotting.

You should refrain from smoking permanently, because it reduces the oxygen content of the blood.

Stop taking prescription drugs that cause blood fluid, such as aspirin, for at least a week before the procedure

Refrain from taking any type of caffeine, so as not to affect the process of anesthesia, the person taking caffeine is difficult to numb, so you should refrain from stimulants such as Arabic coffee, for a week before the operation

Take care to eat healthy balanced food, and follow a diet certain diets, for a week before the operation, to avoid any complications that occur during the operation.

Make sure to exercise simple a week before the operation, so that the skin is strong and flexible

Follow-up treatment, tips and instructions after the operation

The success of treatment also depends largely on the patient’s behavior after the operation. The final result can be assessed no later than three months after the procedure, and we must attach great importance to adherence to aftercare appointments and recommendations for pain relief and reduced swelling, wear pressing corsets continuously day and night for 6 weeks to avoid physical activity for 6 weeks, as strong vibrations can enhance fluid build-up in the newly wound cavity (sero-swelling formation) avoid going to sauna or sunbathing for at least 4 weeks, making sure you drink enough From fluids, especially in the first few days after the operation during the first 10 days after surgery, pain similar to pain, swelling and bruising is completely normal and you will receive appropriate pain killers and clotting prevention in the following week after surgery, regular manual lymphatic drainage can accelerate the reduction of swelling significantly give yourself comfort and enough time to heal.

Risks of abdominal liposuction

Many complications and possible side effects are common after liposuction, and no matter how the procedure is performed, all methods share some side effects, but the best way to suction abdominal fat can be considered those that result in the least amount of side effects, such as laser and laser, liposuction with water, and in any case the doctor must be qualified and experienced. Common negative effects after liposuction include bleeding, the possibility of increased cellulite after the operation, as well as adverse reactions to anesthesia, as well as the possibility of swelling, bruising, poor wound healing, and more serious complications including

Fluid build-up

after liposuction there is a surplus of fluid that can accumulate under the skin causing swelling and bruising, and to overcome this phenomenon the doctor sometimes leaves the incisions of the surgery open and connect it to a tube to drain excess fluid, the tube is removed one or two days after the operation

Numbness and numbness in the surgery area result from liposuction, this feeling may last for a long time, may fade quickly, and the nerve in the liposuction area can become irritable

Asymmetry of the body there are some factors that may lead to asymmetry of the body shape as a result of unequal removal of fat from the body during liposuction, showing signs of ripple and lumping on the skin, due to poor skin elasticity, or inability of the skin to recover quickly, and when inserting caniola under the skin may show some signs of scarring, all of these damages can last long, or recover normally depending on the patient’s condition.

Damage to the heart and kidneys when liposuction changes the level of fluids in the body as a result of the level of fluid absorbed by the body that enters it by injection, and the level of fluids may change in a way that affects the heart and kidneys

Inner holes

If the tube inserted into the body when liposuction reaches an internal organ, it may cause a hole in one of the internal organs, and here comes the need for emergency surgery to treat the organ that was punctured during surgery

Fatty blockage after liposuction and as a result of fat fragmentation may suspend part of the fat that disintegrates with a blood vessel, and may leak into the lungs, or brain, causing what is known as liposuction, or a state of blockage of fat

Frequently asked questions about liposuction, how much fat can be disposed of in liposuction?  Large amounts of fat cannot be removed during liposuction, in most cases we remove no more than 5-4 liters during the operation to avoid a disturbance in fluid and electrolytes rates within the body

Can obesity be alleviated by liposuction?  Liposuction is not used as a treatment for obesity, but liposuction is intended only to treat problem areas that do not disappear through diet and exercise

Is the procedure painful?  Due to local anesthesia, you don’t feel anything during the operation and after the drug’s effect is gone, you’ll feel mild pain that lasts for a few days and can be easily treated with painkillers.

How long does it take to reach the final result after liposuction?  Immediately after liposuction, patients will notice the first effect and see that their bodies are more specific and thinner in the areas that have been suctioned, yet the treatment areas may remain slightly swollen after the operation and the body will eventually dismantle more fat cells on its own so the end result of the surgery can only be seen after a few months of liposuction.

How many times can liposuction be repeated?  Liposuction can be repeated as you wish, however, it is unlikely that the patient will regain the same weight at the treated site as it was at the time of the initial diagnosis

When can liposuction be performed after pregnancy?  The female body changes during pregnancy so after pregnancy you need some time to regenerate and it is not possible to determine how long the patient should wait before liposuction in general, and in the best case you should stop breastfeeding we are happy to advise you personally at Zain Medical Company

Can a skin lift be performed to accompany liposuction?  In most cases liposuction also has a tightening effect on the body. Laser liposuction using ultrasound or laser liposuction has a much greater tightening effect on the skin than other traditional liposuction methods if there is a large amount of excess skin in the treated part of the body after liposuction, the optimal result can be reached here through an accompanying skin lift.

Do scars remain after liposuction?  After liposuction, scars remain in those places where micro-canniols have been inserted, yet these scars heal very well and are usually invisible.
