Dear Dr. Man, I’ve been wanting to get liposuction for a long time, but am worried about the down time and pain involved. I heard about a new procedure called Body Jet that was recently FDA approved. Can you tell me more about it?
I am happy to tell you more. Body Jet, also referred to as Water-Jet Assisted Liposuction, is a superior method of liposuction and may be performed on multiple areas of the body during the same session of surgery, including abdomen, arms, under chin, thighs, buttocks, back and calves. It significantly reduces discomfort or pain during and after the procedure. Recovery is shorter, as patients often return to work and other activities in just a few days.
The Body Jet system is more accurate than tumescent, as it uses a controlled pressure system and special cannula to direct the water in a thin, fan shaped jet. The result is less tissue swelling, thus less discomfort or pain after the procedure. This is accomplished by means of the special cannula and computerized software that allows control of the rate of fluid input and fat output. Because it is more accurate, fat is removed only from fatty compartments without hurting other important structures like nerves and vessels. Thus, fatty tissues are released much more easily, with less tissue swelling.
The procedure is performed under local sedation. It is easily tolerated, allowing smooth patient re-positioning so that multiple sites can be performed at the same time. Because it is more accurate, patients recover much more quickly, with less swelling, bruising or discomfort.
I would recommend Body Jet for people who wish to get rid of extra inches and loose fatty tissue, especially around the tummy, arms, neck, back, thighs, hips and buttocks. Body builders and athletes who want a better shape can also benefit from Body Jet.
