NuBody Concepts of Memphis and Brentwood, TN Compares Traditional Liposuction and Aqualipo

Memphis, TN, December 10, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The cosmetic surgeons at NuBody Concepts in Memphis and Brentwood, TN offer information for selecting a safe and cost effective liposuction fat removal procedure. There are several options on the market for removing body fat from the stomach, thighs, arms and legs, the body contouring physicians at NuBody Concepts offer information that compares traditional liposuction to Aqualipo, a water assisted liposuction procedure.

“Liposuction has been on the market for many, many years. Traditional liposuction does have some significant side effects that most people do not discover until after they have had a traditional lipo procedure. At NuBody Concepts we continue to offer better, safer and more cost effective options for fat transfer procedures like traditional liposuction. Our Aqualipo Liposuction procedure uses the power of water to gently flush away unwanted fat cells. Using water is gentler on the body so the patient has less bruising, swelling and trauma to the surrounding tissue. Aqualipo is performed as an out-patient procedure using local anesthesia. Depending on the part of the body being treated a typical Aqualipo procedure can be done in 35 – 40 minutes,” explains Dr. Trey Emerson, NuBody Concepts body contouring surgeon in Memphis and Brentwood, TN.

Traditional liposuction is more expensive than Aqualipo Liposuction in part due to the use of general anesthesia. Patients who undergo traditional liposuction will be required to receive general anesthesia which greatly increases the risk of complications. Significant swelling and bruising can occur as well as blood loss and scar tissue formation with a traditional liposuction procedure. Patients who elect traditional liposuction typically need stitches once they are done. Cosmetic surgeons who perform traditional liposuction use an aggressive suction process to remove unwanted fat which can also result in a lumpy or bumpy area where the procedure was performed.

“Over the last several years thousands of patients have chosen NuBody Concepts because of our skill and care that we give to patients. No patient should risk their life to undergo general anesthesia for elective surgery unless it is life threatening. All of our surgeons at NuBody Concepts have received specialized training from the pioneers themselves in awake surgery. It takes time and great skill to treat patients while they are awake. I personally have more experience in performing the Aqualipo liposuction procedure than anyone else in this country. If I had a loved one considering a fat transfer surgeon I would want them to go to one who has the most experience and best bed-side manner. Everybody remembers the horrors of famous hip-hop artist Kayne West's mom, or famous novelist Olivia Goldsmith who both underwent liposuction and a facelift by a board-certified plastic surgeon, and died after having complications associated with general anesthesia. Or, the wife of famous hip-hop artist Usher, who shortly after undergoing general anesthesia for liposuction, by a board-certified plastic surgeon suffered a cardiac arrest. These are some of the nightmares patients have experienced in opting for traditional liposuction and using general anesthesia. Using a water assisted approach to removing fat is both safer and less expensive. When patients come in for their free Aqualipo liposuction consultation we discuss all of this in great detail,” states Dr. Emerson.

The Aqualipo Liposuction is a much gentler process for removing fat. No general anesthesia is required therefore patients can resume normal activity right away. The medical risks are much lower with a water assisted lipo procedure. There is no risk of anyphalaxis, cardiovascular collapse, hypothermia, hypoxic brain damage, or an embolism as typically associated with general anesthesia.

Emerson adds “Using water to remove fat is a much gentler process for fat removal. Traditional liposuction can be very traumatic for surrounding tissues. Forceful suction of body fat can cause severe bruising to the area so recovery time can be lengthy for patients who elect traditional lipo. In addition to the ease of our Aqualipo procedure we have had many patients comment on the cost savings when using a water assisted fat removal procedure. The cost of any procedure significantly increases once you start using general anesthesia. There are greater risks when a patient undergoes general anesthesia so the costs increase to accommodate for this. The beauty of Aqualipo is that it offers less risk and costs. Patients really appreciate the ability to resume normal activity after a water assisted liposuction procedure.”

Aqualipo is a safe option for removing fat pockets and unwanted flab and fat in areas of the body that are resistant to dieting and exercise. Aqualipo liposuction can be used to remove excess fat in the tummy, arms, thighs, neck, male and female breasts, buttocks, back and knees.

Aqualipo Liposuction is a procedure that does require special training. The physicians at NuBody Concepts offer the best in Aqualipo treatment at both of their state of the art cosmetic surgery centers in Memphis and Brentwood, TN.
