A member asked:

What is the main reason a doctor would recommend body jet liposuction over other lipos?

Body jet: The main advantage of body jet is if you are planning to use the fat removed and transfer to the face or buttock for example.

Because they have it: There are many forms of liposuction available. More so than the technology, i believe you should pay more attention to the operator. In other words, technology is only good as the operator of that technology. Regardless of how liposuction is done, remember - it's still liposuction in one form or another.

Be Careful: There are many different liposuction technologies available; each claims to be better than the other. Each is also heavily marketed. In my opinion, much more important than the specific technology used (when it comes to the surgical outcome or “effectiveness” of the procedure) is the surgeon using the “tool”. Patients are responsible to do their due diligence and select surgeon carefully.

Jet Lipo: This is just another way of doing lipo. Tumescent, power assisted, ultrasonic, laser, etc. They all have some pros and cons but you should discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Area involved: Areas with more fibrous tissue such aslove handles may be hard to treat with traditional liposuction and may require special techniques such as ultrasonic assisted liposuction.

Because: He owns the machine. Body jet lipo certainly works. It's one of several effective liposuction methods. Most important thing is the surgeon's skill, not the type of machine that is used.
