Liposuction with Body-Jet for Fat Removal Causing less Trauma at Harley Street Skin Clinic Stubborn areas of fat which resist all attempts at removal by diet and fitness alone can be treated by a number of body sculpting procedures at Harley Street Skin. Body-jet liposuction is a gentle form of fat removal, causing fewer traumas than more traditional methods of lipo. This water-jet assisted procedure washes away the fat without damaging blood vessels and nerves and because it’s so gentle, it makes the recovery time and any swelling and bruising far less than with traditional liposuction techniques.
The Procedure You will have the area to be treated marked out by your doctor, then after a small injection of local anesthetic, a tiny incision will be made and a special cannula will be inserted under the skin with a pulsating action, to introduce local anesthetic and saline solution into the fat pad. The pressure of the fluid breaks up the fat, so more can be removed than with traditional liposuction. This makes it ideal for body sculpting in specific areas for example the tummy, thighs or bottom. Finally, the solution is suctioned off, together with the unwanted fat cells.

Why Should I Choose Body-Jet Over Traditional Liposuction?

However the key difference is the short recovery time which is far less after body-jet liposuction than it is after traditional lipo. The body is less traumatised and the swelling and bruising are minimal.
