We already discussed the merits of water-assisted liposuction technique. This time, I will talk about the pros and cons of the ultrasonic liposuction technique. Just like with any liposuction surgery, it is necessary to use a cannula to suck the fat out. In the past decades, several companies have come out with cutting edge technologies to ensure safer and more efficient fat removal and the use of ultrasound to dissolve fats has been one of the most innovative. The ultrasonic machine is essentially a cannula that vibrates sideways sending waves of energy that essentially blast and melt the fat. With its ability to melt and liquefy fat, the ultrasonic liposuction has a distinct advantage that no other liposuction machines have. Each patient has varying degrees of fat layer thickness and differing proportions of fat and connective tissue. In some patients, the connective tissues can be very, very strong and tough which would make it extremely difficult, if not downright impossible to remove using other techniques. As a case in point, this ultrasonic technique is very effective in removing the breast tissue that no other technique will be able to do for patients who have gynecomastia. However, one of the drawbacks of an ultrasonic technique is that you cannot use it if you are planning to do fat transfer procedure. Ultrasonic liposuction essentially melts and liquefies the fat, which prevents it from being used as the fat will essentially die. That said, Ultrasonic liposuction is at the forefront in terms of technological advances and it has been very effective in removing fat from traditionally difficult areas. Put simply, it is a cutting-edge technology that the plastic surgeons use for precise contouring and to effectively remove tough, fibrous and stubborn fats from difficult areas like the male chest, abdomen, thighs and buttocks that no other technique will be able to do.
