HD liposuction uses specific surgical techniques designed to assist in body contouring by targeting fat deposits with the aim of enhancing definition.
The procedure is planned based on the patient’s individual anatomy and treatment objectives.
Different techniques and technologies can be employed for HD lipo based on the desired outcomes:
Involves using laser energy to liquefy fat, which is then suctioned out. This technique may also stimulate collagen production for desired skin tightening.
The procedure may involve the use of a mechanical device to assist in disrupting fat cells, which can aid in the fat removal process..
Ultrasound technology is used to assist in breaking down fat cells prior to removal, aiming to address specific areas of fat deposits..
Each method offers unique benefits, and the choice of technique depends on factors such as the patient’s goals, the areas to be treated, and the surgeon’s expertise.
