Power Assisted Liposuction By Jean Hopfer, Thu Dec 8th
a href=http://www.hendricksmd.com>Power-Assisted Liposuction(PALŪ) is a new and important technology invented byMicroAire for body sculpting. Research has shown that it is amore effective and safer way to eliminate unwanted deposits offat that are resistant to dieting and exercise. Becauseliposuction is the most commonly performed plastic surgeryprocedure, this technology has important implications to thepatient. The MicroAire Power Assisted Lipoplasty Device uses a 2-mmreciprocating movement at 4000 cycles per minute to facilitatethe movement of the cannula in tissue. This vibration loosensthe fat cells so that they may be suctioned away gently withless trauma to the surrounding tissues. PALŪ is performed usingthe tumescent technique. This involves infusing large volumes ofsaline, local anesthesia and adrenaline. This maximizes theeffectiveness of the fat removal and patient comfort, and ithelps to minimize bruising. Power-Assisted Liposuction hasseveral important advantages over the older techniques ofUltrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL) and Suction-AssistedLiposuction (SAL). Some advantages of Power-Assisted Liposuctioninclude: *Improved safety
*Shorter
procedure time *Less bruising and swelling *Faster recovery *Less discomfort *Smaller incisions *Greater precision for a smoother contour *No heat means no risk of burning Power-AssistedLiposuction for the permanent removal of fat is a majoradvance for aesthetic surgery.
