View successful results of Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) patients who have been treated by leading cosmetic surgeons
Power Assisted Liposuction is performed with the participation of a vibro-pneumatic device with a liposuction cannula attached to it. The diameter of the cannula is from 3 to 5 mm. It performs fast forward and backward movements, which have a small amplitude.
This device allows you to gently penetrate the adipose tissue, which contains many connective tissue fibers. Therefore, this technique is indispensable when liposuction of the hips, buttocks or backs is performed, as well as a repeated procedure for fat removal. The device was developed in Belgium. The purpose of this instrument is to destroy the structure of adipose tissue by supplying compressed air.
Cannulas are mounted on a special handle, which is connected to a mechanical or pneumatic device by means of a cable. This equipment produces up to 6000 translational movements per minute. Such a device facilitates the movement of the hollow needle within the tissues. Such liposuction is comparable to standard or tumescent, in which the surgeon also performs translational movements, inserting the cannula under the skin. The destroyed fat is evacuated in a classic way: by vacuum suction.
Power Assisted Liposuction has several advantages. It is safer and less traumatic than its predecessors. In addition, the patient expects a fairly short period to recover after this method. And the high quality of the results will undoubtedly pay off all material and moral costs. Power Assisted Liposuction is worth it to be held!
It is especially effective for removing large amounts of fat. And in this it, undoubtedly, gives a hundred points ahead of the syringe liposuction, with the help of which only small areas can be adjusted. Power Assisted Liposuction is less time consuming for the surgeon. This is a plus of this technique before the standard and tumescent liposuction, which requires from the doctor an irreproachable knowledge of the technique. Power Assisted Liposuction, in contrast to ultrasound, does not have safety problems, because supersonic waves are not formed.
The installation for this type of operation uses compressed air. In addition, there is no cavitation and a high temperature, which can damage surrounding tissues. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. And even the very frequency of oscillations in 10,000 Hz contributes to the process of anesthesia. Perhaps the only inconvenience that Power Assisted Liposuction has is the vibration of the system, which causes noise when performing liposuction.
