Method and procedure   

Power Assisted Lipoplasty (Power Cannula): The advanced method works similar to the Ultrasonic Liposuction. Fine vibrations of a frequency of 100 hertz are emitted by the cannula. The low frequency vibrations liquify the surrounding fat before it’s suctioned from the body. The Power Assisted Lipoplasty is known as a gentle method, safe for the surrounding tissues. It is generally recognized as the safest existing method of liposuction. The risk of hematoma and bruising is minimal. The Power Assisted Lipoplasty is often defined as a refinement of the Tumescent and Ultrasound Method. A very safe procedure, the Power Assisted Lipoplasty is also suitable for extensive fat removal. The method also goes beyond the usual problem zones and is particularly suitable for application at sensitive areas such as legs, calves, at the knee, ankle, arms, neck, chin, back, and chest. Although the Power Cannula Liposuction already represents the most efficient fat dissolving and suction method existing today, it is possible to combine it with previously used methods such as injection of pre-dissolving  liquid solution, or with external ultrasound or laser probe.

 Anesthesia 

Small Liposuction procedures as around the knee or chin can be carried out under local anesthesia. Generally all medium and large sized procedures are performed under general anesthesia. 

 Hospital stay 

Minimal liposuction, if carried out under local anesthesia, takes place as day surgery. The patient leaves the hospital the same day. If there is removal of medium or larger fat quantities under general anesthesia, an overnight stay in the hospital is required.
