Liposuction
is a technique used for a few years now, and it consists on the removal of
the fat accumulation in a certain part of the body.
People look for this procedure with one objective: correct an inaccuracy they
believe they have, making them very uncomfortable with their bodies. The technique
used for more than 20 years advanced a lot during this period. At first, suction
was used, but as time went by, a new technique using cannulas appeared.
With the cannulas, doctors and physicians began to study a procedure called
lipoinjection, which consisted in taking the fat from one area of the body
and injecting in another. With the development of theses studies, the ultra-sound
was discovered; this one broke the fat cells with ultrasonic waves and spilled
over the tissues, being aspirated after.
The last treatment determined was the vibrolipoaspiração (power
assisted liposuction), utilizing compressed air to break fat cells.
This last practice is being used by surgeons all over the world, but here
in Brazil it is not very used.
