Like most liposuction technologies, with Aqualipo and Body-Jet liposuction, the patient is given vacuum fluid injections (optional) before the procedure, and suction tubes (cannulas) are used during the procedure. However, unlike traditional vacuum liposuction, in which all fluids and anesthesia methods are administered before surgery, water liposuction is accompanied by a constant distribution of anesthetic fluid during the operation.
Body-Jet technology uses a patient-specific water/lidocaine/epinephrine solution to force fat through an internal suction tube. This special solution is delivered as a high-velocity, pressurized jet and performs two main functions: tissue anesthesia and breaks down unwanted fat for easy removal. While the inner cannula distributes the fluid solution, the outer cannula simultaneously sucks out excess fluid and fat cells. Early Body-Jet systems may use separate cannulas to achieve this effect.
Benefits of Aqua Lipo/Body-Jet Liposuction
Some practitioners claim that water flow liposuction causes less tissue damage and less nerve damage than other liposuction techniques. The reason for this is that the rapid flow water liposuction system breaks down and removes fat more gently and accurately. There is an opinion that the time of AquaLipo and Body-Jet is relatively less than that of standard liposuction. Since AquaLipo requires less time for tumescent injections and/or general anesthesia prior to liposuction, the overall procedure time is also reduced.
Water liposuction can be successfully performed with local anesthesia. Although conduction or general anesthesia is not required for AquaLipo or Body-Jet liposuction, they can be used at the request of the patient or doctor's recommendation.
After all liposuctions, only minor swelling, soreness and hematomas remain. However, the minimal disruption of water in Aqualipo or Body-Jet technology allows you to reduce the recovery time after surgery compared to standard liposuction.
Risks and Side Effects of Aqueous Liposuction
Whatever one may say, there are always risks during liposuction. But water technology reduces them.
The following is a list of risks and side effects that are rare during this operation:
- edema or swelling;
- soreness;
- loss of sensation;
- bleeding;
- hematomas;
- infection;
- forms are incorrect.
The likelihood of side effects increases if the patient is a poor candidate for liposuction, if they do not follow the instructions of the surgeon before or after the operation, if they are taking anticoagulants, and if their immunity is weakened. The best way to avoid the risks and side effects is to choose a qualified professional to perform the operation. Patients should also follow all precautions before and after surgery.
How do you know if you can get AquaLipo or Body-Jet liposuction?
According to the official Body-Jet website, the ideal candidate for surgery is a healthy individual weighing no more than 25 pounds (11.3 kg). It is believed that the best results can be achieved by patients with localized fat deposits that do not disappear after exercise. The same goes for patients interested in AquaLipo.
Water liposuction will get rid of unwanted fat on your thighs, buttocks, abdomen, knees, cheeks and arms. Moreover, water liposuction can be effectively combined with fat grafting for breast and buttock augmentation as well as facial rejuvenation. For more detailed information about the procedures, you should contact a qualified specialist who will answer all your questions.
