Is this right for me? More and more people are choosing to have Liposuction and the results can be impressive. If you have a certain problem area that you can’t tone through exercising, Liposuction can help achieve the results you would like.

This procedure is excellent for the tummy, hips and buttocks, and is also ideal for removing stubborn fat from the back, chest and legs, in fact anywhere on the face or body. Body-Jet can also be used for six-pack definition and the destruction of sweat glands in situations of excessive sweating.

What results can I expect?

Body-Jet re-contours one or more areas of the body by removing localised deposits of fat. As the fat cells are not replaced by your body, there’s a long lasting change to your shape, especially if you exercise, eat healthily, and maintain a healthy weight after the procedure. Although the procedure can help to change your body shape, it can’t improve stretch marks or cellulite. It is not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle and cannot be used for weight control. It can, however, make you look and feel more confident about your body.

What is involved?

The technique is performed with the patient completely awake, using local anaesthetic. The procedure involves a tiny incision being made in the skin and a small cannula (a hollow stainless steel tube) is inserted by the surgeon. A water jet containing local anaesthetic acts immediately to numb the tissue and is used to gently separate fatty tissue using the force of the spray rather than the traditional technique which used much greater force, and hence caused more tissue trauma and pain. The water jet breaks up the fat cells and allows gentle suction of the excess fat. The fat is removed far easier with this technique, and because of this less bruising occurs after surgery.

What are the benefits?

The numerous advantages Body-Jet has over other Liposuction techniques:

•Painless surgery without the need of heavy sedation or general anaesthesia

•Minimal intra-operative swelling allowing precise body contouring intra-operatively

•Reduces risk of irregular skin surface common after other types of Liposuction

•Little swelling or bruising after operation

•Pain reducing infiltration technology. The technique allows patients to be awake if they want and to see the results immediately

•Greater ability to model transition zones and small areas of Liposuction

•Minimized tissue damage, protection of nerves and blood vessels

•Significantly shortened surgery times

What are the risks?

The Body-Jet technique is generally safe and most people are pleased with the outcome of their surgery, however, like any other medical procedure, there are risks involved. Infections may happen after any surgery and may occur after a Body-Jet Liposuction procedure. It is important to keep the wound clean, but even if you do, infections may sometimes occur from the surgery. Swelling or oedema may occur after your surgery. One of the minor complications of Liposuction is bruising. These tender areas may cause some pain, but bruises are frequently short-lived and usually disappear after approximately 4 weeks. Bruising can be expected during any type of invasive medical procedure, but is minimized with the use of the Body-Jet technique.

Aftercare

Here at nu-age medical spa we take pride in our excellent levels of post-operative support and aftercare. To monitor your progress we will invite you back to our Clinic at prescribed intervals for follow-up examinations with our nursing staff.

How long will the results last?

Body-Jet removes fat cells from the body, and they can’t regenerate. The healing process is gradual, so you should expect to wait a while before fully enjoying the results of your procedure. As long as you maintain your post-operative weight, the results will be permanent. Even if you gain a few extra pounds, you may find that the weight is distributed more evenly instead of accumulating in the areas that were problematic for you in the past.
