Let’s face it: sometimes, diet and exercise aren’t enough. You can attend as many spin classes as you want and eat as many salads as your body can handle, and your love handles or flabby stomach just won’t go away. But there’s a way to get the body you dream of: receiving hi-def lipo from Tampa Surgical Arts.
Hi-def lipo is a gentler alternative to traditional liposuction, as it uses ultrasound technology to eliminate fat and sculpt your body into its ideal contours. All nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue will remain intact during the procedure, making the recovery process much easier. Plus, it can be used on large areas of the body like the stomach as well as smaller areas like the neck or upper arms.
The Procedure
Hi-def lipo takes place under general anesthesia or local anesthesia and sedation. Here’s what you can expect to happen during the procedure:
- A few small incisions will be made near the area being treated.
- A cannula will be inserted into the incisions to suction out the emulsified fat.
- Ultrasonic probes will be inserted into the fatty tissue.
- High-frequency ultrasound vibration will begin to break down the fat cells. As the fat cells break down, they separate from surrounding tissue and begin to emulsify.
- All emulsified fat is suctioned out using the cannula.
- Renuvion powered by J-Plasma, a new, game-changing technology that uses helium energy, is used as a final skin tightening procedure.
