- Tumescent Liposuction:
- Ultrasound-assisted Liposuction (UAL):
Ultrasonic Liposuction includes high-pitched sound waves to liquefy fat in specific areas. This process is usually done with the tumescent liposuction for more precise body contouring. The injected tumescent fluid helps to liquefy the fat, making the process much easier. Ultrasonic sound waves are transmitted to a thin tube, called a cannula. When cannula comes in contact with the fat, the sound waves quickly liquefy the fat and easily vacuumed it out.

This type of surgery is mainly used in areas such as chin, neck, cheeks, calves, ankles, and knees.
