Dr. Mark Prysi, Naples Plastic Surgeon reports on Ultrasonic Liposuction.

Today we are going to talk about Liposuction. Dr. Mark Prysi performs a superior type of Liposuction called Ultrasonic Liposuction. This method simulates skin tightening and allows for more complete removal. Which is beneficial in beauty for all patients, and especially in fat removal for patients over the age of forty.

Permanent Fat Areas in Men and Women

There are certain areas of the body that resist the effects of diet and exercise. In a woman, its the abdomen, hips, and inner and outer thighs. In men, its usually the abdomen and love handle area.

Traditional Liposuction

With liposuction we make small incisions, very inconspicuous. Often in the lower buttocks crease, or in the belly button, or the abdomen. Typically each incision is only about a centimeter wide.

Ultrasonic Liposuction

With ultrasonic energy, we can perform a specific type of liposuction. Here, the skin is at the top, the muscle at the bottom, and the fat in between is removed gently by ultrasonic energy which liquifies the fat and also stimulates the epidermis of the skin (the underlying skin) and helps it shrink down.

With this process you can remove much more fat, and you experience a lot less blood loss, and it stimulates skin tightening at the same time, which allows for much better definition.

In a particular patient of Dr. Prysi’s, her concern was her inner and outer thighs. Her abdomen was flat, but this is a different type of fat cell. It is called brown fat, most often saved from pregnancy. Even in your 20s, however, you can have a disproportionate amount.

In this case, Dr. Mark Prysi did just the inner and outer thigh liposuction which reveals excellent definition in the legs and hips, accentuated by the inner and outer thighs, and also their skin smoothness.

In the case of a gentleman patient, Dr. Prysi took 5 liters off his abdomen, and only with the ultrasonic energy would he have been able to get skin tightening the way it did.

Recovery Time

The recovery time of ultrasonic liposuction is usually quick, lasting around 3 to 4 days, and after a week you can return to work and most of your normal activities.
