Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction (UAL)

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures done nationwide. UAL enables Dr. Barach to refine and perfect his results to a higher level than is possible with conventional liposuction techniques alone. UAL utilized a probe that emits sound waves which break up fat cells. The liquified emulsion of fat that results is then aspirated using conventional liposuction techniques, which involve a suction aspiration, which in essence vacuums out the material with high suction pressures.
UAL enables liposuction to be done with less effort and more finesse than previously possible. Other advantages can be less bruising, better skin retraction, and ability to get better results in certain previously difficult areas such as the back, arms, and male breast areas. This procedure is done via a few very tiny incisions in the skin which are very inconspiculous. Activities are limited for one to two weeks, and a compression garment is worn during that time. Discomfort is minimal and easily controlled with oral medication. No overnight hospital stay is usually required.
