Water assisted liposuction is one of the latest advancements in the liposuction field of plastic surgery. This technique was developed by a German company named Humanmed and is known as WAL for short. With other liposuction techniques there has been an overwhelming issue associated with the anesthesia needed for the procedure, the water assisted liposuction was created in order to compensate for these issues as well as minimize the time needed to perform the procedure.

In order to reduce the amount of bleeding during a liposuction procedure the surgeon has to use a large amount of adrenaline and anesthetic. The amount of anesthesia needed is so profound that it can make any anesthesiologists weak in the knees. The biggest problem with this is that the amount needed for any procedure is so great, but unfortunately you can not just pour it in as it has to be carefully calculated so that it foes not cause any heartbeat irregularities. For some time it was thought that the absorption of these large amounts of anesthesia were safe sine the adrenaline would absorb it, but unfortunately about 14 hours after the completion of the procedure that adrenaline wears off and the pure anesthesia is then absorbed into the body. This can not only cause heart arrhythmias, but seizures as well as a possibility of death.

When using the water assisted liposuction, a jet of water is then used to blast the fat cells out of the abdominal cavity while at the same time not affecting the soft tissue found in the same area. This blasting then in turn reduces the amount of bleeding as well as the overall recovery time of a liposuction procedure. This procedure is often painless and allows the patient to undergo the procedure without any real anesthesia and the patient may also be able to move around the table. Furthermore, vertical assessments may also be made sine there is the lack of excess fluid like in a normal liposuction procedure. This lack of excess fluid allows a surgeon to determine if he or she had missed part of the fat reserves and also increases the chance of a better outcome than by any other current liposuction procedure.

Not only can water assisted liposuction be used for a liposuction procedure but it can be used to give men their six pack abs and can even be used to get rid of excess sweat glands in the event that you have an issue of over sweating.
