Liposuction has evolved tremendously over the past few decades, and Dr. Ashruf can choose from multiple techniques for your liposuction in Baltimore.
Suction Assisted Liposuction: Considered the “standard” of liposuction, this technique uses a cannula and negative pressure in order to suck unwanted fat out of the body.
Power-Assisted Liposuction: Power-assisted liposuction is very similar to suction-assisted liposuction. However, we attach the cannula to a powered device that sends strong vibrations through the cannula and to the fatty tissue. These vibrations help further break up the fat so we can easily remove it from the body.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction: High-pitched sound waves disrupt and liquefy the fat cells before extraction. This type of liposuction is particularly effective on notoriously stubborn regions of fat, including under the chin, on the flanks, and on the knees.
Laser-Assisted Liposuction: Laser-assisted liposuction is better known by the brand name SmartLipo. Similar to ultrasound-assisted liposuction, laser-assisted liposuction liquefies the fat prior to extracting it from the body. However, it utilizes laser energy through the cannula in order to liquefy the fat.
