Benefits of water-assisted liposuction

The techniques used for liposuction have changed over the years and new techniques have been developed that cab give a patient optimal results. A novel technique developed in Germany called Body-Jet, a water-assisted liposuction technique has numerous benefits.

Body-jet uses water to sculpt you figure and has been popular in Europe and Asia since 2004. While a number of tools have been developed to assist a surgeon during surgery, which speeds up the procedure and helps prevent physician fatigue, Body-Jet water assisted liposuction has its benefits.

Body-jet employs a jet of water to separate the fat from surrounding tissue. Since Body-Jet uses water, there is no risk of burns. The fat is then suctioned out.

Many physicians believe this is a gentler procedure with fewer traumas to the surrounding area. It is also a beneficial procedure because it allows the surgeon to harvest the fat to us in a fat transfer, where it is injected into areas that need filling out like the breasts. More traditional techniques don’t allow the surgeon to collect the fat tissue.

Some cosmetic surgeons prefer this technique for repairing the flaws from previous liposuction procedures.

Because the technique is gentler, patients find recovery is quicker with minimal pain, which can be attributed to the fact it uses water to separate the fat tissue.

Once a person has decided to have liposuction they should talk to their plastic surgeon to figure out if water-assisted liposuction is right for them.
