Ultrasonic assisted liposuction (UAL) uses high-pitched sound waves to liquefy fat in a specific area before it is removed. UAL is liposuction used for fat removal in difficult to treat areas such as the chin, neck, cheeks, knees, calves and ankles. It most often serves as an addition to tumescent liposuction for people requiring precise body contouring. UAL is used on both men and women.

In an ultrasonic assisted liposuction procedure, tumescent fluid is injected into the area to be treated. Tumescent fluid is a mixture of anesthetic, saline solution, and epinephrine. This helps prevent fluid loss during the UAL procedure and makes the fat deposits easier to remove.

During an ultrasonic assisted liposuction procedure, sound waves are produced by a generator. The ultrasonic waves are transmitted to a thin, vacuum-like tube called a cannula. When the cannula comes into contact with fat cells, the fat cells liquefy and then are vacuumed out.

One benefit of ultrasonic assisted liposuction is the ability to treat areas that have denser fat deposits and to remove large volumes of fat at one time. UAL is more precise and tightens the skin during the procedure also.

There is a risk of burns, blistering and scarring due to the heat created during ultrasonic assisted liposuction. A well qualified UAL surgeon will know how to deal with the heat generated, but it should be considered.

Ultrasonic assisted liposuction can be utilized in all areas that traditional liposuction is used, but it is especially useful in the abdominal area, the mid-section, male breast tissue, the chin and neck areas. Ultrasonic assisted liposuction has the ability to transform the body when performed by a skilled UAL surgeon.

The decision to get liposuctionis often a difficult one for those that have trouble losing weight. When dieting and exercise haven’t worked even after long and painful hours at the gym, liposuction may be your best avenue towards getting the body you want. Body contouring procedures are becoming a very popular and effective way for both men and women to get rid of stubborn fatty deposits from areas such as the belly, thighs, chin, hips and more.

Tumescent liposuction is a relatively new technique that involves saturating the fatty deposits to be removed with a solution of saline and local anesthetics before the procedures. This allows an experienced surgeon to remove more fat in a safer way than the traditional method. Tumescent liposuction is also done on an outpatient basis.

Recovery –Recovery time for tumescent liposuction is generally more than half that of the traditional method. Patients can go back to work 48 hours after the operation and see the final results from their procedure within one to three months. Traditional liposuction can leave the patient waiting up to nine months for final results.
Bleeding – Traditional liposuction is often accompanied by significant blood loss that requires a transfusion during the operation. This is highly traumatic to the patient’s body. Tumescent liposuction leaves bleeding at a minimum.
Anesthesia –A general sedative is used during a traditional procedure. This leaves you completely unconscious. A local anesthetic is used during a tumescent procedure leaving only the portion of the body undergoing the liposuction procedure numb.
Risk – Tumescent liposuction has a surprisingly high safety profile, unlike traditional methods which are much more likely to result in complications. There are still risks in tumescent liposuction, but they are minimal.

Choosing a qualified plastic surgeon that has experience performing tumescent liposuction operations is often the best way to go when considering undergoing a body contouring procedure. Not only is it safer, has less recovery time, and gives better results, but it is also generally much cheaper depending on the plastic surgeon and the amount of fatty tissue being removed.
