What is it?
The Body-Jet liposuction technique is a relatively new procedure
in the United States and is FDA approved.
Body-Jet Liposuction uses "Water Profusion", a Water-Jet
to assist the liposuction procedure. It can be applied to multiple
areas of the body during the same session.
After the surgery your skin is smooth and you have less pain
and bruises found in standard liposuction procedures.
Liposuction is performed on the head, neck, chest, abdomen, thighs,
hips and knees. Liposuction of all areas is generally done in
one sitting so that proper contouring can be achieved. The
Dr. Iacono has been performing successful liposuctions since
the procedure's inception in France in the early 90s and is on
the forefront of technology, incorporating the Body-Jet method
into his treatment.
What does it help & not help?
Usually helps with:
fat reconstruction of the breast
rejuvenation of the face or buttox.
Will not help with:
general obesity
body contour irregularities that are not due to fat
(e.g muscle, bone, muscle weakness)
How long will it last? Once removed, fat cells do not reduplicate or reform. Consequently,
reducing the population of fat cells in an area will produce a contour
alteration that is expected to be permanent. The amount of fat contained
in the remaining fat is controlled by diet and exercise. Subsequent
alterations in the body contour may still occur as a result of aging,
weight gain/loss, pregnancy and a variety of other circumstances.
Surgical Considerations Surgery is performed in an accredited outpatient surgery center
or hospital.
Body-Jet liposuction requires less time and results in less pain
and bruising than other Liposuction techniques. Less manual pressure
is needed to remove the fat and a simple local anesthetic can
be used.
