Depending on the technique used for fat break down during liposuction, they are given different names. The techniques hold different advantages but the plastic surgeon decides on which procedure should be used depending on the case at hand.
The common types of liposuction are:
i. VASER Liposuction
"Ultrasound assisted high definition liposuction."
One of the most advanced and latest forms of liposuction, this highly effective procedure makes it possible to remove stubborn pockets of fat from the specific areas of patient’s body and contour those body parts at the same time. It is often known as LipoSelection.
Understanding the Procedure
To start-off the procedure, the cosmetic surgeon injects a special saline solution to the targeted areas of the patient's body. The saline solution works by numbing the targeted region and shrinking the surrounding blood vessels. Thereafter, the surgeon uses the small, handheld ultrasound VASER device to dislodge the stubborn fat cells from under the skin by moving it over the targeted body areas. After the fat cells are melted completely, the surgeon uses a liposuction tube to remove the emulsified fat.
Reasons to Opt for VASER Liposuction
- The procedure is based on ultrasound technology and the vibrations of sound waves produced by it within the fat cells melt the solid fat deposits inside the patient's body. Thereafter, the melted fat can easily be sucked out of the patient's body.
- Because of its capability to differentiate FAT from tissues, nerves and blood vessels; VASER Liposuction is indeed the safest technology available these days which is US FDA approved and highly effective in achieving desired body contours.
- Considered to be an excellent minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, VASER Liposuction can successfully be used to remove fat deposits from several body parts including chest, back, hips, arms, thighs, legs and tummy.
- Because VASER Liposuction results in minimal bruising and swelling, the recovery is smooth and results of the procedure can be seen quickly.

How is the Vaser high definition procedure carried out?
The procedure requires IV sedation and the patient is administered local anaesthesia or deeper general anaesthesia depending on his medical condition. After the pre-operative marking to identify the underlying muscles, tumescent fluid is injected and small incisions are made in hidden areas. Thereafter, Vaser probe is inserted under the skin and after the fat gets emulsified, the fat is removed using low power vacuum.
ii. High Definition Liposuction- 3D and 4D Liposuction
"Making picture perfect and curvilacious body a reality!"

iii. Tumescent Liposuction
Litres of dilute anaesthetic tumescent solution are pumped under the skin of the treated area to minimalize bleeding and dissolve the stubborn fat. The fat is then sucked out through tubes. This is the most common type of treatment provided by the cosmetic clinics. The process can be performed under local anaesthesia.
iv. Laser assisted Liposuction
As the name suggests the surgeons use laser to dissolve fat under the skin. This process requires administration of tumescent fluid before the laser heat is given to the cells to prevent bleeding during the procedure.
v.Suction assisted or Power assisted Liposuction
This uses specialised cannula which moves back and forth to break the fat, and then vacuum it out easily.
As explained above, there are different types of Liposuction procedures available for fat removal. The fact, however, remains that VASER Liposuction is the best and latest option available in today’s time. It offers amazing results and has the least downtime as compared to other Liposuction procedures.
