A New Liposuction Technique

There is a new liposuction method for removing unwanted fat on various parts of the body.  This method is called Custom Acoustic Liposuction (CAL), also known as, "Tickle Lipo" because of the sensation the patient feels during surgery.  In current liposuction procedures, the insertion of the routinely used thin tube, called a cannula, results in manually moving it back and forth to break up the fatty tissue.  In comparison, "Tickle Lipo" uses a cannula that vibrates and rotates on its own making the breakdown of the fatty tissue easier.  This motion results in a tickling sensation.

 

The benefits of this method of liposuction are many.  Local anesthesia can be used which minimizes anethesia-related problems.  The appearance and color of the skin returns sooner with this method.  The best results are reached in about a month's time  Most liposuction techniques use a warmth strategy, while"Tickle Lipo" uses cooling which promotes healing with less swelling and bleeding.  Patients can usually return to normal activity in a day or two.  So the advantages of this type of liposuction method are: less bruising, a smoother look of the skin, a quick recovery and a reduced cost.  However, this strategy can only be used for the removal of small amounts of fat, but can be accomplished on multiple parts of the body in one session.


If you have unwanted fat on your body that you cannot seem to get rid of by diet or excersize, liposuction could be the answer for you.  Locate a liposuction specialist near you to discuss the best options of treatment for your individual needs.  You can achieve the results you desire.
