How Liposuction Surgery is Performed
Dr. Cambeiro is a board-certified plastic surgeon performing liposuction surgery in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you live outside of the Las Vegas area, please contact us to learn more about our fly-in program.
Different Techniques for Liposuction
- The Super-Wet technique
- Tumescent technique
- Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty (UAL)
- These procedures are performed under a combination of local and general anesthesia, with some small volume procedures being done under local anesthesia with sedation.
- Once anesthesia is administered the fat is infused with a very dilute local anesthetic to distend the fat cells, which makes it easier to extract them and it improves the ability to contour the areas more smoothly.
- Through a tiny incision, a narrow tube or cannula is inserted and used to vacuum the fat layer that lies deep beneath the skin. The cannula is pushed then pulled through the fat layer, breaking up the fat cells and suctioning them out. The suction action is provided by a vacuum pump or a large syringe.
- If you are having another site treated, Dr. Cambeiro will then move on to the next area, working to keep the incisions as inconspicuous as possible.
- At the conclusion of this operation, an elastic compression garment is placed to control swelling and to reduce the risk of fluid build up beneath the skin.
- You will be monitored for an hour or two in the recovery room. You will be discharged into the company of an adult escort.
