AquaLipo – The Most Innovative Liposuction in Pittsburgh

AquaLipo liposuction (Water Liposuction, Body-Jet Liposuction, Hydro-Liposuction) is the most innovative procedure that provides patients with a smooth, sculpted body. This technique provides less nerve damage and tissue trauma as opposed to other methods because the AquaLipo’s lidocaine fluid structure removes the fat more precisely and gently. AquaLipo can also be conducted more quickly than other methods because it does not require general anesthesia and tumescent injections. Body-Jet Liposuction is performed with local anesthesia and only causes minor swelling and bruising while providing a quick recovery time.

Like most liposuction techniques, the AquaLipo uses fluid tumescent injections and cannula tubes prior to and during the procedure. However, unlike other techniques where anesthesia is administered pre-surgery, AquaLipo disperses the anesthesia throughout the procedure.

AquaLipo uses a special lidocaine solution to permeate the fat using cannula tubes. The outer cannula tube suctions fat cells and fluid while the inner cannula tube disperses the lidocaine fluid. The lidocaine/water solution uses a jet stream during surgery in order to break up fat tissue and anesthetize the body for simple removal.

AquaLipo Benefits

  • Allows for more precise body sculpting
  • Less swelling and bruising than other methods
  • Performed with local anesthesia
  • Low risk
  • Minimal downtime

Liposuction Pittsburgh Procedure Requirements

  • Patients must schedule a pre-op visit no more than 30 days prior to surgery to have a history and physical.
  • Patient must fill out appropriate paperwork/consent forms.
  • You must provide mammogram results that are no older than 12 months. If not available, then the patient must get a mammogram at least 1 month before surgery.

How Long Is Your Liposuction Procedure?

The procedure takes approximately 3 hours per area. This time includes taking measurements and outlining the area of treatment. Then, small 3mm incisions will be made and a solution known as tumescent fluid will be injected using the tip of the cannula.

This will numb the outlined area so the cannula can be turned on with minimal pain. This FDA-approved procedure removes the fat cells, and the vibrations help to safely remove large amounts of fat from all areas of the body.

Recovering from the Procedure

The numbing tumescent fluid will last several hours after the procedure. However, if pain and discomfort is too intense you may be prescribed painkillers. It’s best if you return to daily activities the next day, such as walking, to assist in your body’s natural healing process. However, avoid intense exercise for 6 weeks after the procedure.

Recovery time is faster with Vibroliposuction because the skin reacts with a progressive tightening that further contours the new body core. This phenomenon is caused by the vibrating cannula against the dermis that triggers healing signals to recruit collagen-producing cells. You will continue seeing improvements and better contouring up to 12 months after the surgery.

How To Improve Liposuction Results?

After the surgery, results will take time to appear and during that time you will need to make sure you try your best to improve the results. If you are wondering what’s the best way to get better results from liposuction, then follow the tips given below:

  1. Avoid Soaking

It may sound weird but after the process is done you will need to avoid soaking as much as you can. If your wounds get wet then they may take longer to heal and can ever lead to serious infections.

Do not take bath until your doctor doesn’t recommend you. Instead of taking a bath, you can clean your body with a wet cloth by massaging it.

2. Exercise Regularly

Many patients think it’s good to stay on bed after any surgery like Liposuction, but that’s not the truth! You are allowed to take rest but not all day, avoid living a sedentary life as much as you can or it might interfere with your results. So make sure you keep moving everyday.

Just make sure you do not try any kind of strenuous activities, they may damage the treated areas. Normal walks and completing small chores are enough, they will help you prevent blood clots, keep your blood circulation healthy and improve your liposuction results as well!

3. Drink Plenty Of Water

During the surgery your body will lose a lot of fluids, which can easily lead to dehydration, so after it’s done do not forget to drink plenty of water. It will help you flush all the anesthesia injected in your body and promote a quicker recovery as well.

You can drink any beverages like water or juices just make sure to avoid alcohol, since it can ruin your recovery and results 

4. Keep Your Treated Area Safe

Although your incisions will be bandaged you will need to make sure they are always safe and clean. Any injury on the treated area can lead to a serious injection which is why you must keep them safe.

So avoid strenuous activities, lifting heavy objects and moving too fast. Don’t forget to visit your doctor to change the bandages, dirty ones can have bacteria which increases the chances of infection.

Liposuction and Pregnancy

It’s normal for anyone to think that Liposuction can affect your pregnancy but the good news is that, liposuction doesn’t affects a women’s ability to give birth or get pregnant. It’s always safe to have liposuction after and before pregnancy, since liposuction focuses on destroying fat deposits on the specific areas of your body.

None of your internal organs are damaged during this process which makes liposuction a really safe process for every women. However, if you are pregnant, you will need to make sure you cannot get liposuction. Even after pregnancy you will have to wait few months to get liposuction for better success rate.

Furthermore, if you are planning to get pregnant after liposuction then weight at least 6 months, give your body sometime to heal. Lastly, it’s recommend to get liposuction after your last pregnancy, so that your body doesn’t have to be under a lot or pressure and you can get all the results quickly!

Fat Transfer is an Option for Water Jet Liposuction & Aquajet Liposuction Patients

Patients who undergo liposuction may consider using their harvested fat cells to illuminate another body area such as breasts, buttocks, hands or face. Visit the Fat Transfer page for more information.

What is Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat from certain areas of the body. The surgeon makes a small incision and inserts a thin tube called a cannula. Then, the surgeon suctions out the fat through the cannula.

Liposuction can be performed on many parts of the body including:

  • Abdomen
  • Back and sides
  • Buttocks
  • Neck (“double chin”)
  • Thighs (inner and outer)

Some Benefits of liposuction include:

  • A more sculpted body
  • Fewer stretch marks
  • A smaller waistline
  • More defined buttocks and thighs
  • A flatter stomach

Traditional Liposuction – Suction-Assisted Lipectomy (SAL)

This is the most common form of liposuction. It uses a small incision to insert a cannula, which is a tube with a small suction tip on one end. The doctor then uses the cannula to suction out fat and tissue from beneath the skin.

Patients can usually go home after this procedure and return to work in 2-3 days. The results are immediate, but they may not be permanent. Over time, your body will naturally reabsorb some of the fat that was removed.

That’s why it’s important for patients to maintain healthy lifestyles after liposuction so that they don’t have to undergo additional procedures in order to maintain their results.
