Liposuction is the process of removing fat deposit from parts of the body using a tube called a cannula. There are a few different liposuction techniques used in Long Island plastic surgery clinics, but every technique employs a cannula tube in removing the fat cell deposits. The great advantage of liposuction Long Island is that these fat deposits will be removed permanently.

The most common type of liposuction Long Island is called tumescent liposuction. The area to be treated will be infused with the anesthetics lidocaine and epinephrine. This causes the fat deposits to become larger which allows for easy removal. UAL liposuction uses an ultrasonic pulse to loosen the fat deposits. Fewer plastic surgeons who perform liposuction Long Island have this capability. Additionally, it can be more expensive than tumescent liposuction.

The super wet liposuction technique is similar to the tumescent method except a smaller dose of local anesthesia is used. Because of this, the liposuction Long Island can be faster--as little as two hours. In addition, because super wet liposuction uses general as well as local anesthesia, it can be combined with other types of plastic surgery where general anesthesia is required.

There can be a fair amount of pain with any type of liposuction surgery Long Island. However, as they say, no pain, no gain. The results of liposuction can be very dramatic. If you have been struggling with losing weight, liposuction Long Island can reshape parts of the body that could not be altered with exercise. It's important to note that there are more risks than with other types of plastic surgery: such as blood loss. For this reason it is imperative to find a Long Island plastic surgeon who has extensive experience with the operation.
