Types Of Liposuction: Effectiveness, History, Non-surgical Alternatives

What is Liposuction?

One of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world is liposuction, which involves gently removing undesired fat from the body using tiny, covert access points. Internal devices like BodyTite (radiofrequency energy), SmartLipo (laser energy), and/or VASER liposuction (ultrasound energy) are used in modern liposuction to encourage skin contraction, produce smoother outcomes, and allow for delicate fat removal.

The abdomen, love handles, inner and outer thighs, hips, inner knees, arms, double chin, and sometimes the breasts and calves are common sites for the best liposuction in Dubai. Exercise and a healthy diet are sometimes insufficient to have the intended effects. In certain situations, high-tech, contemporary liposuction is an effective means of achieving the body of your dreams.

Types of Liposuction Offered by Dubai Hortman Clinics

In addition to classic liposuction, Dubai’s Hortman Clinics is proud of the variety of liposuction treatments and non-invasive body contouring procedures it offers for all body types, aesthetic objectives, and sensitivities.

Traditional Liposuction

“Traditional liposuction” is a catch-all word for employing one or more techniques and procedures to get rid of resistant fat pockets in the regions you want to treat. A liposuction Dubai operation has a short recovery time, especially if energy-assisted technologies like SmartLipo™, BodyTite™, and VASERLipo™ are used. It is advised that patients give themselves five to ten days to recover, depending on how many zones are treated.

BodyTite

With BodyTite Lipo, radiofrequency energy is injected into the fat via a tiny probe. After melting the fat, the radiofrequency energy coagulates and shuts off tiny blood vessels, producing a mild aspiration with less swelling and bruising. By using both internal and external sensors, the BodyTite™ securely releases its heat, reducing the possibility of overheating. Soft-tissue contraction can reach 40–50% after more than a year, improving shape and contour. Of all the technologies, BodyTite offers the highest reported safety controls and soft tissue contraction.

SmartLipo

When the SmartLipo™ laser is introduced into the fat, the fiber seals tiny blood vessels while heating and liquefying the fat tissue. With minimal pain, swelling, and bruises, this liquid fat can be carefully removed. The cutting-edge SmartLipo™ laser lipolysis at Hortman Clinics enables ideal soft tissue form and shape.

A tiny 1 mm laser fiber is used in this process to heat, liquefy, and coagulate the fat by emitting mild laser light. Furthermore, compared to conventional, antiquated tumescent liposuction, blood vessels are sealed, making extraction simple and causing less discomfort, swelling, and bruising.

Tumescent

A cosmetic surgery called tumescent liposuction is used to eliminate fatty areas that have not reacted favorably to natural weight-loss techniques. Compared to conventional liposuction techniques, the fat removal surgery is less painful and requires a quicker recovery period.

A local anesthetic is injected into the targeted fat area. Next, to reduce bruising and achieve smooth contours, the Hortman Clinics professionals employ BodyTite™, an energy-assisted device that liquefies fat cells. Tiny suction cannulas, usually 2-4 mm in diameter, are used to aspirate and remove fat.

VaserLipo 

VaserLipo™ uses a tiny probe to send ultrasonic energy into the fat. A soft, liquid, milkshake-like material is produced when the fat cell is softly vibrated and imploded by the ultrasonic waves. After the fat has been liquefied by the ultrasound, Hortman Clinics professionals gently aspirate and remove the liquefied fat from the undesirable localized areas of excess using a tiny, blunt-tipped microcannula.

VaserLipo™’s mild nature and capacity to store fat for potential fat grafting treatments after liposuction are its true advantages.

Mommy Makeover

The areas of the body most impacted by pregnancy are the focus of Mommy Makeovers. A mommy makeover is essentially a mix of surgical and nonsurgical techniques that revitalize the body to a tighter, flatter, and younger appearance.

“Mommy makeovers” typically involve liposuction, a tummy tuck, and breast augmentation. Additional elements could include cellulite therapy, laser hair removal, stretch mark reduction, and fat grafting to the buttocks. Patients can anticipate a delightful return to gorgeous body form and contour after a mommy makeover!

Which Form of Liposuction is Most Effective?

Depending on the severity of your concerns, your personal aesthetic goals, and whether you combine your liposuction surgery in Dubai with another rejuvenating procedure to achieve the best results, each type of liposuction that Hortman Clinics offers is incredibly effective in its own way.

Which Liposuction Removes The Most Fat?

Ultrasound energy can be very successful in focusing on those particular areas of concern if you have more difficult-to-get-rid-of fat. Therefore, we suggest tumescent liposuction or VaserLipo™, which uses ultrasonic energy, if you have persistent fat pockets. On the other hand, each belly fat removal Dubai will remove as much fat as desired; this will be addressed during your consultation with Hortman Clinics. Your target areas and the amount of fat that can be eliminated will determine the procedure.

Which Liposuction Addresses The Most Areas of Concern?

Thankfully, the abdomen, love handles, inner and outer thighs, hips, inner knees, arms, double chin, and occasionally the breasts and calves may all be treated with liposuction. You can pursue body sculpting wherever you see fit because none of our liposuction treatments are restricted to just one or two regions.

A widespread misconception is that one type of liposuction addresses more areas of concern than another. 

Which Liposuction is More Cost Effective?

The cost of liposuction in Dubai varies by zone and depends on the patient’s desired level of fat removal. All of Hortman Clinics’ liposuction procedures are comparable in cost and will produce outstanding outcomes.

The History of Liposuction

Surgical Discoveries

While liposuction has existed in one form or another since the 1920s, it wasn’t until the 1960s that it became widely popular.

European surgeons started experimenting with several methods to get rid of extra fat in the 1960s. Curettage is a method that was introduced in the early 1970s. Using surgical tools known as curettes, surgeons tried to remove fat.

A few years later, an Italian father-and-son team of gynecologists made history by using a cannula in place of curettage. The cannula was first used by Drs. Arpad and Giorgio Fischer to remove fat from their patients’ thighs.

Drs. Pierre Fournier and Yves-Gerard Illouz then improved the cannula design, building on these techniques. Additionally, they presented their novel “wet technique,” in which a saline solution (salt water) was injected into the treatment area prior to suction.

Throughout The Years

With the advent of tumescent liposuction in the 1980s, the methods and equipment continued to advance. To help liposuction patients feel more at ease during treatments, Dr. Fournier started using lidocaine, a local anesthetic. A few years later, Dr. Jeffrey A. Klein expanded on this by constricting capillaries with epinephrine.

In the 1990s, liposuction technology and techniques advanced as a result of the procedure’s popularity among models and celebrities, which improved patient outcomes. The most significant development was the introduction of power-assisted and ultrasonic-assisted liposuction (UAL/PAL).

Michele Zocchi, an Italian professor, created ultrasonic-assisted liposuction (UAL) in 1992. Energy could potentially be used by this technology to protect nerve tissue and aid in the removal of fat.

In contrast, power-assisted liposuction (PAL) breaks up fat for easier extraction by using a cannula that pulses. Approved in 1998, this procedure became the standard for plastic surgery in the twenty-first century.

New Technologies

Today’s best liposuction surgeon in Dubai employs extremely sophisticated instruments. As a result, liposuction’s dangers have never been lower, and its outcomes have never looked better. These days, radiofrequency energy and ultrasound technology can be used for liposuction. If you’re scared to have surgery, it even provides non-surgical body-contouring solutions. 

Non-Surgical Alternatives to Liposuction

The following procedures are available at Hortman Clinics if you’re not ready to fully commit to liposuction, you want to “try on” your results before having lipo Dubai, or you’re looking for a lighter body contouring procedure that still produces results but has less pain and downtime.

CoolSculpting

One of the most well-liked, FDA-approved methods of fat loss is CoolSculpting, commonly referred to as “cryolipolysis.” CoolSculpting breaks down bodily fat cells by using cold temperatures. A tiny vacuum-like applicator is used to apply the cold to the targeted area’s skin.

The process takes about an hour, and when the body absorbs the fat, the results should start to appear in six to twelve weeks. To get the best results, many patients come back for second and third rounds of CoolSculpting. 

EVOLVE

The most recent advancement in body-sculpting technology is EVOLVE. It has been approved for use in non-invasive body sculpting. EVOLVE tightens skin, eliminates fat, and aids in the development of muscle and tone using non-invasive radio frequencies and electromagnetic energies.

EVOLVE targets numerous body parts with three distinct applications.

EVOLVE TITE

EVOLVE’s skin-tightening module is called TITE. By employing bipolar radiofrequency energy to heat the tissue and promote the development of new collagen and elastin, TITE assists patients with slack skin.

EVOLVE TRIM

EVOLVE’s fat-loss module is called TRIM. It combines suction and radiofrequency energy. Fat cells are destroyed by the energy produced by these frequencies without the need for incisions. This module is widely used to minimize the visibility of skin imperfections like cellulite.

EVOLVE TONE

TONE is the last of EVOLVE’s applications. Tone targets and contracts deep muscle layers by electrical stimulation. The targeted area’s underlying muscles are strengthened and toned by these contractions, giving the area a more polished appearance.

The various EVOLVE procedures can be used to tailor your experience based on your treatment needs, whether they be for weakening muscles, loose skin, or stubborn fat deposits. After an EVOLVE treatment, which usually lasts between thirty and sixty minutes, patients can immediately return to their regular activities.
