What is an Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction?

During the procedure, saline solution with dilute medication is injected into the target area, expanding the fatty tissue layer. This makes the procedure safer and improves fat reduction. Ultrasound probes then direct energy to the areas of your localized collection. After the fat is adequately treated, Dr. Soto removes it using liposuction cannulas.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction vs. Traditional Lipo

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction is considered gentler on the body with less recovery time, less bruising, and swelling than traditional liposuction. The high-end system enables Dr. Soto to better control contouring in specific areas of the body to achieve the smooth, seamless look patients desire. Another pro of ultrasound-assisted liposuction is that it liquefies fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue. During tumescent liposuction, once an incision is made in the target area, a thin tube is inserted to remove fat cells using a motorized suction system. This process does not use ultrasound frequency to break down fat cells and therefore is harsher on the body, removes all tissue it comes into contact with, and requires a longer recovery period.

Combining My Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction with Other Procedures

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction is a versatile procedure that can be performed in combination with other body-contouring procedures to achieve better overall results. Dr. Soto can recommend additional treatments during your consultation once he understands your goals.

In some cases, excess fat and loose skin may make your abdomen appear loose and uneven. Liposuction can be performed during a tummy tuck to target specific areas of fat around the sides for a more uniform figure.

Who Are the Best Candidates for an Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction?

The best candidates for ultrasound-assisted liposuction are healthy adults bothered by excess fat in specific areas of the body who want to improve their body contours. You may be an ideal candidate if you:

  • Have stubborn areas of excess fat
  • Are close to or at your ideal weight
  • Are committed to maintaining a stable body weight
  • Have good skin elasticity
  • Have realistic goals and expectations
  • Are in good overall health

What Are the Benefits of an Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction?

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) uses ultrasonic energy to break up fat cells, making them easier to remove through liposuction. This technique may be particularly useful when treating areas with denser or more fibrous fat.

  • Targets stubborn fat: Helps treat localized areas of fat that may be resistant to diet and exercise, including the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, and other areas of the body.
  • Easier fat removal: Ultrasonic energy helps emulsify or loosen fat before it is suctioned, making the removal process more efficient and less damaging to surrounding tissue.
  • Improves body contours: Being able to target stubborn pockets of fat precisely provides greater control over the results, enabling smoother, more symmetrical body sculpting.
  • Better at removing denser fat: It can be particularly helpful in areas where fat is denser or fibrous, like the back, male chest, or areas that have previously undergone liposuction.

  • Prepare for surgery: Follow your pre-operative instructions regarding medications or supplements to avoid, nutritional tips, and avoiding nicotine.

What to Expect on the Day of Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction Surgery

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction is usually performed under general anesthesia in our on-site, nationally accredited operating room in Orlando, FL. However, small areas may sometimes be treated under local anesthesia with or without mild sedation. The amount of fat and the area being treated will determine the length of the procedure, but it typically lasts between 1 and 3 hours.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction Care

Immediately after the procedure, patients go to our on-site recovery room for a short observation period, and we apply a compression garment. Patients wear the garments for 4 to 6 weeks to support proper healing and help swelling resolve quickly. Most patients can return to everyday activity within a day or two, with more significant exercise allowed after a few weeks. Most patients will see a positive change in their body contours within a few days after surgery, but due to the expected swelling, you should not expect to see your final outcome for at least 2 to 3 months.

How Much Does an Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction Cost in Orlando, FL?

The cost of ultrasound-assisted liposuction in Orlando depends on the number of areas being treated, the amount of work required, and other factors like anesthesia fees. Our team can provide an accurate estimate of your UAL treatment cost during your consultation.
