Let’s talk about ultrasonic liposuction
It is a method that arrived several years ago to stay. Ultrasonic liposuction is not a type of liposuction in itself, but rather it assists traditional liposuction. In ultrasonic liposuction we have a different type of probe (ultrasonic cannula) that emits a very powerful vibration and makes the fat cells detach, which makes them easier to suction out. The way to extract that fat, having already worked on it with the ultrasonic cannula, is by means of the classic liposuction technique.
What benefits does ultrasonic liposuction have?
This type of liposuction has a series of things in its favor that we want to tell you about:
- It allows a greater amount of fat to be removed with less effort
- The postoperative period is more bearable
- It generates better skin retraction
Who is ultrasonic liposuction indicated for?
It is indicated for:
- Patients who need very large liposuctions, with many liters of fat.
- Patients with a lot of skin flaccidity

We continue to trust classic liposuction
In many patients, we make the decision to perform classic liposuction since, for example, in young people with good skin retraction and small areas to be extracted, it is not worth performing ultrasonic.
Some cons of ultrasonic liposuction
To add, the orifices for the extraction are larger in ultrasonic liposuction and in extensive surgeries such as abdominal liposuction, this type of ultrasound forces us to leave drains. If you would like more information do not hesitate to contact us at Clínica Fernández Blanco.
