Power liposuction.

Power liposuction seems to be a significant advance in the evolution of the liposuction procedure. It allows for a faster, less painful recovery for the patient and is less of a strain on the surgeon, increasing the precision of the procedure. Complications are less than those seen with traditional liposuction performed under local tumescent anesthesia. Because it is performed under local anesthesia, power liposuction allows for fine tuning of the body contours with the patient in the standing position, reducing the number of postoperative touch-ups.
