If you are looking for help to get rid of unwanted fat tissue, there is probably a liposuction technique that is right for you. Liposuction has a variety of treatment options which each offer different pros and cons, depending on what you are looking for. Water jet-assisted liposuction and tumescent liposuction are two such treatments that continue to be popular. Here is how these two different techniques stack up against one another:
The Procedure
If you are looking to get rid of specific pockets of fat tissue while contouring the body, water jet-assisted liposuction is your choice. This treatment option uses a stream of pressured saline to dislodge fat tissue and remove it via a tiny cannula. The treatment allows fat tissue to be more easily removed. Water jet-assisted liposuction is great for individuals with lipedema who are looking to reduce its overall appearance. On the other hand, tumescent liposuction is a more traditional liposuction procedure that uses a solution of lidocaine with epinephrine to tighten the targeted areas making them puffy in appearance. A tiny cannula is used to remove the targeted fat tissue. This also causes the capillaries to shrink, resulting in less blood loss for the patient’s safety.
The Results
Both water jets-assisted liposuction and tumescent liposuction are great procedures to help get rid of unwanted fat. Water jet-assisted liposuction will also help contour the body to improve your overall appearance instead of just removing any fat tissue.
Recovery Time
While tumescent liposuction has less of a chance for blood loss and bruising, it still requires a longer recovery time. This treatment is most often recommended when removing larger quantities of fat tissue and requires the cannula to be directed in multiple directions during the procedure. Water jet-assisted liposuction has a much fast recovery time, with most patients being able to return to most activities within a day or two.IdealCandidateIndividuals looking for some extra help in getting rid of unwanted fat tissue will benefit from water jet-assisted liposuction. Not only will you lose unwanted fat, but also help get that much-wanted shape. Individuals looking for a larger removal will benefit from tumescent liposuction.
