The Liposuction Procedure: Step-by-Step Process

Water jet assisted liposuction is a method of liposuction being used by Peers Cosmetic Laser Care. As in all types of liposuction, fatty deposits are removed from beneath the skin for a more contoured look.

Water jet assisted liposuction actually uses a low pressure stream of saline to dislodge fat and simultaneously remove the cells, instead of injecting the body with tumescent fluid and removing the fat cells manually with a cannula, or using laser technology to melt and dislodge the fat. Water Jet Assisted liposuction loosens the fat cells to facilitate more gentle removal, instead of destroying fat cells,. Water Jet Assisted liposuction injects tumescent fluid (saline and medicines including a local anesthetic) into the body part being treated. Tumescent fluid is proven effective and several alternate liposuction technologies are now using the tumescent technique for its local anesthetic benefits. In the case of water jet assisted liposuction, it then uses different processes to actually remove the fat and manage fluid levels.

Once the local anesthesia has taken hold, a cannula is then introduced into the tissue to irrigate and then simultaneously suction the loosened fat cell from the body. Finally, any remaining fluid is removed. The procedure is considered gentle and minimally invasive and the force seen in traditional liposuction methods is not needed when using jet-assisted liposuction. There is usually very little bruising or swelling and water jet assisted liposuction often has a very short recovery time, partially because the use of water means that there is less tissue trauma to the body.
