Ultrasonic Lipo: I am assuming that you are referring to ultrasonic liposuction. In ultrasonic liposuction the cannula is also a heating wand that heats up the fat causing the fat cells to burst and liquefy their contents and then this liquid fat is sucked out.

"U" Lipo: "u" lipo refers to ultrasonic liposuction. It is an established technique in which a solid or hollow tube is inserted under the skin and ultrasonic energy breaks up the fat cells, making it easier to extract the fat. "u" lipo may be referring to new technology where ultrasonic energy is applied on top of the skin to break up fat cells under the skin. This is new, and problems are not fully known.
