How does AQUALIPO ® work?

AQUALIPO ® is an advanced new way to combat excess fat, sculpt your face and body, and leave you looking slimmer, more toned, and even younger.  AQUALIPO ® takes an innovative approach to liposuction using a ground-breaking liposuction technology that gives patients better results with less risk and downtime.  Sometimes, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.  That’s exactly why AQUALIPO ® is able to offer such outstanding results. 

How does the Body-Jet® work to remove the fat?

The Body-Jet® uses a concentrated water jet to flush out the fat so that it can be gently aspirated from the body.  The Body-Jet® allows fat to be removed from the body without the aggressive force used in older liposuction techniques, thus limiting trauma to surrounding skin, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, and septal attachments. 

How does the Body-Jet® help reduce patient recovery time?

Because the Body-Jet® gently separates the tissue within the fat compartment, the suction cannula can move freely without causing damage to surrounding tissues.  In older liposuction techniques, trauma caused during the aspiration process could result in bleeding, nerve damage, a lumpy appearance, and the rupture of septal attachments between deeper structures and the skin.  With the Body-Jet®, septal attachments are preserved, trauma is limited, and patients experience a dramatically smoother recovery.

Does the Body-Jet® have other benefits?

Yes.  The Body-Jet® process uses dramatically less infiltration fluid than is typically required by traditional liposuction.  That helps to limit bloating and swelling for the patient, while presenting exciting possibilities for fat transfer.  With Body-Jet®, the removed fat can be used immediately for fat transfer to augment another part of the body that might benefit, such as hollowed cheeks or thinning lips.  With traditional liposuction techniques, suctioned fat had to first go through a lengthy centrifuge process to remove the excess fluid before it could be ready for transfer.
