What is Body Jet Liposuction

SEE MORE BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS

Body Jet Liposuction is a transformative new technique of liposuction Philadelphia area patients will want to know more about. Physician Body Solutions is the first practice to bring this beneficial new liposculpture technique to the Delaware Valley area. The Body Jet gently dislodges fat cells from surrounding connective tissue using pulses of anesthetic fluid. As the water- jet dislodges the unwanted fat, it is gently suctioned from the area in one continuous process. The result is less fluid in the body at any given time than with the previous wet or tumescent (local anesthetic) techniques making it possible to see the end result when the procedure is completed.

Body-jet liposuction is also the first gentle liposuction technique that removes fat in such a manner that it can be transferred to other parts of the body such as the face, hands or buttocks. A patient’s fat transfer procedure can be done the same day as their Body-jet Liposuction procedure, all while the patient is awake. The fat removed by the Body-jet is suctioned into a sterile container and then placed into syringes for injection in other areas. Fat transfer can be used as an injectable filler for facial wrinkles, lip augmentation, hand rejuvenation, or butt augmentation with results lasting 3-5 years or longer. Once the fat is removed for transfer, Smart Lipo can be used to tighten skin of the overlying donor. By combining technologies, patients have the potential for excellent body contouring, immediately visible results, enhanced skin tightening and all while they are awake using gentle techniques that minimize healing time.

What Makes Body Jet Liposuction Different

Most doctors performing liposuction in Philadelphia are using some variation of wet liposuction, which is the most used of the current liposuction techniques. The wet technique starts by first infusing a volume of fluid into the area of the patient’s body being liposuctioned. This fluid contains a local anesthetic and a vasoconstrictor to reduce bleeding. The fluid swells the bodily area to be liposuctioned. Then, after a waiting period, the fluid and targeted fat cells are suctioned off.

Body-Jet is different because instead of first swelling the area with anesthetic fluid, Body-Jet constantly adds and removes the fluid during the procedure. With this constant exchange of fluid, the doctor is better able to see the new contour as they create it. The patient can also see and comment on the changes since they are awake during the procedure. Body Jet uses gentle pulsating fluid to dislodge fat cells from the connective tissue in which it is held. More traditional liposuction methods utilize sharp instruments, force and aggressive suctioning to tear the fat from connective tissue. With less force required using the Body-jet, there is less trauma to the healthy connective tissues, improving healing times and skin retraction. You can actually see the difference in the amount of force used by watching one of our Body Jet Liposuction videos.

Benefits Of Body Jet Liposuction vs. Traditional Liposuction

Where do we start? In the hands of experienced providers, like the doctors at Physician Body Solutions, the benefits are manyfold. First, introducing less excessive fluid to the body brings benefits. There is a lessened risk of complications both due to fluid overload in the body (edema), and a lower risk of the body reacting to the amounts of anesthetic present in this fluid (toxicity). Less swelling from excess fluid also means both the doctor and the patient are better able to see the actual body contouring as it takes place. This provides more aesthetic accuracy, and fewer surprises than a procedure where you must wait for the swelling to subside to see the actual result.

There are also many benefits associated with the fact that the cannula uses pulsating water, and less manual force, to remove the fat cells. While no procedure is risk free, liposuction in the hands of an experienced doctor has a very low rate of major complications (a recent study published in Dermatologic Surgery (July 2004, pp. 967-978), found the major complication rate was approximately 1.5 in 1,000). So while very rare, one of the potential complications of liposuction is that a surgeon would inadvertently injure an area while forcefully moving the cannula in and out of the tissues. With Body Jet liposuction this already low risk is made even lower by the fact that less forceful movement of the cannula is required, and the doctor is better able to see the area they are treating, since it is not masked by excessive swelling.
