Power Assisted Liposuction

Power assisted liposuction a recent innovation in liposuction. Also called power liposuction, P.A.L., or powered liposuction, power-assisted liposuction involves the use of a powered liposuction cannula handle which provides additional movement to the liposuction cannula.

Here is how some of our patients describe it:


	"Power assisted was like a Homedics back massager on my legs. I cannot tell what the [operating] hand is doing, or where it is, I just feel a vibration."

"It sounds like my sonic air toothbrush. Compared to regular liposuction, it was smoother, less jerking, more like a massage."

"Feels like a Lady Remington electric razor."


	In the above photos, power-assisted liposuction is performed on the outer and inner thigh, using only local anesthetic. The whitening, or blanching, seen in the images is a temporary effect of the tumescent local anesthetic solution. Back to powered liposuction main liposuction page
