Gynecomastia Surgery

Liposuction is a minimally-invasive procedure that uses a small cannula to suction out excess fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, and neck. Some of the types of liposuction procedures are as follows:

Tumescent liposuction: Tumescent liposuction is a type of liposuction that uses a local anaesthetic called tumescent fluid. This fluid is injected into the treatment area before the procedure begins. It helps to numb the area and make the fat removal process easier.

The tumescent fluid also helps to constrict blood vessels, which reduces bleeding and bruising during and after the procedure. During the procedure, the surgeon will make small incisions in the skin and insert the cannula. The cannula is then used to suction out the excess fat. Once the desired amount of fat has been removed, the incisions are closed with stitches or surgical tape.

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction: Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) is a type of liposuction that uses ultrasound energy to break up fat cells before they are removed from the body. UAL is usually performed on patients who have larger areas of fat to be removed, such as the abdomen, thighs, or back.

It is performed by making a small incision in the skin and inserting a thin, hollow tube called a cannula. The cannula is then moved back and forth to break up the fat cells before they are suctioned out of the body. UAL can be performed under local anaesthesia, which numbs the area, or under general anaesthesia, which puts you to sleep.

UAL usually takes longer than traditional liposuction because the fat cells need to be broken up before they can be removed. Recovery time is also usually longer, and you may have more swelling and bruising after the procedure.

Laser-assisted liposuction: Laser-assisted liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to help break down and remove fat cells from the body. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, and patients can usually return to their normxal activities within a few days. 

During the procedure, a small, fiber-optic laser is inserted through a tiny incision in the skin. The laser energy helps to break down the fat cells and make them easier to remove. The fat is then suctioned out of the body through a small tube and the incisions are closed with sutures or staples.

Power-assisted liposuction: The power-assisted liposuction procedure is performed using a small, cannula that is attached to a surgical vacuum. The cannula is inserted through a small incision in the skin and then moved back and forth to break up the fat cells. The fat cells are then suctioned out of the body through a vacuum.

Power-assisted liposuction is often used for larger areas of fat deposition and can be performed on multiple areas of the body at the same time. This type of liposuction is less invasive than traditional liposuction and has a shorter recovery.
