ULTRASONIC LIPOSUCTION OR ULTRASOUND-ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION (UAL)

The last advance in fat aspiration is the ultrasonic liposuction or UAL. Ultrasonic wave at 22500 Hz, which is the frequency needed to emulsify the fat cell, is utilized and the fat can be suctioned afterwards avoiding destruction of retaining septums to the skin, arteries, veins and nerves. With this fat emulsifying technique that also liquefies it, great volumes of fat can be aspirated without significant blood loss. Using ultrasound is very useful to aspirate fat from very difficult zones where the fat is sounder like in upper abdomen or at the backside.

Ultrasonic liposuction permits fat emulsifying and aspiration, and the fat tissue around treated zone also receives ultrasonic waves of lower intensity that can be remodeled afterwards helping to shape the whole area. The ultrasonic liposuction is our first choice because it gathers all the advantages, we can aspirate fat volumes from deep planes, we do not alter retaining septums to the skin, and we can remodel properly a wide area. After finishing ultrasonic liposuction and the desired volume has been removed, if localized irregularities are present they can be remodeled seeking a sculptural shape with a 2 mm cannula, working superficially.

Associating ultrasonic liposuction and liposculpture in specific areas we achieve very satisfying aesthetic outcomes.

During postoperative period, lymphatic drainage is very important, at least 10 sessions every two days are recommended to help modeling treated areas and to lower the swelling. Pressotherapy garment, an elastic corset, is very important to help modeling. We strongly recommend physical exercise like static bicycle without any resistance and hydrating creams.
