ADMIRE SURGICAL ’sLiposuction is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of fat from the body using specialized instruments. Some of the instruments commonly used in liposuction surgery include:
- Cannulas: These are long, thin tubes with a blunt tip or a suction port at the end. Cannulas are inserted through small incisions in the skin to break up and suction out the fat.
- Liposuction machine: This is a device that generates suction and may include a motorized or aspirator pump to assist in fat removal. Some common types include power-assisted liposuction (PAL) and ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) machines.
- Tumescent solution: A tumescent solution is a mixture of saline (sterile saltwater), local anesthetic (lidocaine), and epinephrine (a drug that constricts blood vessels). This solution is injected into the treatment area to numb the area, minimize bleeding, and facilitate fat removal.
- Syringes and suction canisters: These are used to collect the fat and tumescent solution that are removed from the body.
