Advantages of water-jet assisted liposuction: Precise, gentle and effective

The established body-jet® is used for water-jet assisted liposuction (WAL). The fan-shaped water jet enables the precise and gentle removal of fat cells, which are immediately suctioned out together with the water. The surrounding tissue is spared in the process. Patients generally benefit from a short healing process and aesthetically pleasing results.

The difference between a WAL and classic liposuction

In conventional liposuction using the tumescent method, a saline solution is injected into the fatty tissue to dissolve the fat cells. This process requires a reaction time and can lead to a longer recovery period.

In comparison, water-jet assisted liposuction (WAL) offers an alternative that is gentle on the tissue. Thanks to body-jet® technology, fat cells are loosened with the gentle power of water and suctioned out immediately. During the procedure, the surgeon has visible control to achieve precise results. The healing process is generally shorter and the method can be less stressful for the body.

The advantages for you

Modern liposuction at UNIQAESTHETICS® near Dortmund

In water-jet assisted liposuction (WAL), the tissue is prepared using a fine cannula and a solution of local anesthetic and adrenaline. The flat water fan of the body-jet® enables the precise removal of fat cells, which are directly suctioned out together with the liquid. The procedure facilitates an exact assessment of the result during the procedure. The aim is to achieve an even and harmonious appearance of the treated body region.

Autologous fat transfer for modeling the body and face

Aspirated fatty tissue can be filtered and processed and is then suitable for autologous fat transfer (lipofilling). This natural material can be used for breast sculpting, injecting wrinkles or accentuating facial contours, among other things. We would be happy to inform you about the possibilities and limitations of this method in a personal consultation.

Who is water-jet assisted liposuction suitable for?

The basic prerequisite for water-jet assisted liposuction is that the patient is healthy and active. It is recommended to maintain a stable body weight in the long term through regular exercise and a balanced diet to support the results of the treatment.

If you suffer from localized fat deposits and maintain a normal weight, these areas can be aesthetically sculpted with liposuction. In addition to congenital problem areas, the method can also be used to treat lipoedema and male breasts caused by fat deposits.

For whom is water-jet assisted liposuction not an option?

Contraindications for liposuction may include heart or lung disease as well as severe liver or kidney damage. The treatment is generally not suitable if anticoagulant medication is being taken. The following medical conditions may also be possible exclusion criteria:

  • Embolisms
  • Phlebitis
  • Wound healing disorders
  • Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus
  • Blood clotting disorders

Before a water-jet assisted liposuction procedure, we at UNIQAESTHETICS® near Dortmund conduct a detailed doctor-patient consultation and a thorough examination to identify individual risks and carefully assess the suitability of the treatment.

The most frequently asked questions about liposuction

How much fat can be suctioned off?

This depends on the size, stature and body condition of the patient and is determined individually by the treating physicians. In order to prevent circulatory problems in patients, no excessive amounts are suctioned out at once.

How long does water retention remain after liposuction?

The water used during the operation is excreted naturally within a few days.

What is liposuction?

The word means liposuction. It is made up of the two Greek words “lipo” (fat) and “suctio” (suction) and refers to the surgical procedure established in the 1970s to remove excess body fat.

How long do I have to wear compression garments after liposuction?

After liposuction, it is recommended to wear compression garments for at least 5 to 6 weeks to support the healing process and reduce swelling and bruising. For best results and to promote healing, you should follow your doctors’ instructions exactly when wearing the compression garment.

When do the dents disappear after liposuction

The aim of liposuction is to avoid dents from the outset. If the liposuctioned areas still appear uneven due to swelling or bruising after the operation, it can take up to 6 weeks for these to fully disappear and for the smooth final result to appear.

Can I gain weight again after liposuction?

Yes, even after liposuction, it is important to ensure sufficient exercise and a healthy, balanced diet so that the results of the operation are not affected by weight gain. Fat cells also remain in the areas of the body where excess fat has already been removed. Although these can no longer multiply after the operation, they can grow.

When does health insurance pay for liposuction?

Liposuction is generally only covered by statutory health insurance if lipoedema is diagnosed as stage 3.

Lipoedema is a chronic condition characterized by an uneven distribution of body fat. This usually leads to an excessive accumulation of fat, particularly in the legs, arms and sometimes also in the abdominal area. Stage 3 lipoedema is an advanced stage of the disease. The accumulation of fat in the affected areas of the body is very pronounced and unpleasant symptoms such as pain, tightness, skin irritation and inflammation occur. The quality of life of those affected is considerably impaired at this stage.

Nevertheless, it is only possible for the costs to be covered by health insurance,

when lymph drainage, compression garments or exercise therapy no longer provide relief.

How long should I not do any sport after liposuction?

Exercise should be avoided for at least 5 weeks after liposuction.

How old do you have to be to have liposuction?

Liposuction is preceded by a detailed consultation and thorough examination by our specialists. If patients decide to have liposuction at UNIQAESTHETICS®, they must be at least 18 years old and therefore of legal age.

How often can I have liposuction?

As a rule, fat can be liposuctioned several times. The treating physicians decide on an individual basis whether liposuction can be repeated.

How long does the breast last with autologous fat?

In a breast augmentation with autologous fat, known as lipofilling, fat is suctioned from a part of the body such as the abdomen or thighs. The fat is then processed and injected into the breast to increase volume or even out irregularities. 60 to 80 percent of the injected fat cells grow in and remain there forever.

How long does a girdle last after liposuction?

It is advisable to wear a girdle or compression garment consistently for at least 5 to 6 weeks after liposuction, both during the day and at night.

When to shower after liposuction?

Showering is permitted from the 2nd day after the operation.

Liposuction how long sick?

About 1 to 2 weeks of vacation should be planned for liposuction. If the liposuction is an operation for aesthetic reasons – without medical indication – it should be noted that the inability to work cannot be certified to the employer and health insurance company.
