Water-assisted liposuction uses a high-pressure spray of anesthetic solution to gently detach fat cells from the tissue. This procedure leaves fat cells are largely intact and usable for transplantation to other parts of the body. This removed fat can be used as a natural filler in place of artificial fillers or implants in the breasts, buttocks, face or hands to plump tissues and reduce wrinkles and tissue loss caused by aging. The results are only affected over time by the body’s natural aging process. Using a patient’s own fat reduces complications and additional treatments associated with implants and artificial fillers. Patients also find that skin-tightening treatments can improve the look of areas where a larger volume of fat has been removed resulting in loose or sagging skin. AquaShape liposuction is also more gentle to the surrounding cells, blood vessels, soft tissues and muscles in the treatment area, causing less discomfort, swelling and bruising. This technique is also safer because it requires about 70% less anesthetic solution than other techniques. The costs associated with Aquashape are slightly higher than traditional liposuction costs, but cost will depend on the areas treated and how much fat is removed.
