Hydroliposculpture At A Glance...

Hydroliposculpture consists of the mix of the latest (third) generation of ultrasonic liposuction cannulae with one of the safest forms of liposuction fluid dosage with specially designed non-ultrasonic liposuction cannula. The non-ultrasonic cannulae that are used in the process of hydroliposculpture are long, slender, highly flexible, and gentle on the patient’s tissues, as opposed to other liposuction cannulae that are rigid, stiff rods.
The natural curvatures of the skin are where this procedure is potentially the most effective one. Therefore, long straight rod-like cannulae, whether ultrasonic or non-ultrasonic, tend to poke and jab at the surface skin because they cannot bend and thus undesirable forces (pokes) may result on the surface of the skin. The special cannulae are highly flexible, yet gentle in nature to the underside of the skin, because they may curve predictably beneath the skin and are easily manipulated by the surgeon.
The simple original formula for tumescent solution is still the best and safest fluid formula in liposuction and thus plays an integral part in hydroliposculpture.
As you may have seen on television, most cases of liposuction are performed with the surgeon grasping hard the handle of the liposuction cannula, while pushing very forcefully and rapidly back and forth into the patient’s tissues to be suctioned. Special instruments are utilized in hydroliposculpture, so they move through fatty tissue as gently, as possible. Only limited force has to be applied. Thus the method the author uses is markedly gentler. With hydroliposculpture, the area is approached as gently as possible, alternating the two different forms of cannulae (the third generation ultrasonic and then the modified high-flexibility cannulae developed by the web site author) until the firmer fat deposit is reduced appropriately. Much less trauma to the blood vessels, nerves, and fatty tissues is the result.
Additionally, with the process of hydroliposculpture, cannulae of the smallest possible diameters that can efficiently carry out the process of the liposuction are chosen. Obviously, if the patient is obese, using tiny cannulae would be fruitless except in certain areas, e.g. the knees or some parts of the arms.
Ultrasonic liposuction in itself is somewhat traumatic, because the cannulae tend to become very hot due to molecular vibration. Ultrasonic waves tend damage and break apart tissue because of vibrations, thus freeing fat. It has been proved, that the cause of the seromas commonly seen in patients who underwent ultrasonic is the result of less than perfect surgeon’s performance and neglecting the overheating problems.
As a remedy, in the third generation of ultrasonic cannula a water flow to the tip of the cannula is created, reducing the side effects.
By reducing ultrasonic heat trauma and by also using instruments which are not ultrasonic in nature and gently curve to the soft contours of the body, a novel, more artful form of liposuction that is distinct from the way liposuction is currently practiced may be achieved.
