Among the many cosmetic surgeries for fat removal, liposuction remains the most preferred and sought-after treatment among surgeons and patients. There have been consistent improvements to the available treatments and ongoing advancements, this has led to the introduction of more and more refined techniques in the field of liposuction.
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) is an innovation that utilizes a mechanized cannula to improve the fat-removal process. If you are considering PAL, finding the right clinic and a specialized surgeon to perform it is vital to get the best results.
But rest assured, at Handa Aesthetics you can forget about those worries and embark on a transformative journey of a lifetime. This article delves into the intricacies of PAL, exploring its benefits, suitability, safety, and more.
What is Power Assisted Liposuction?
Power-assisted liposuction, more commonly termed PAL, is a category of liposuction that uses a cannula that helps dislodge the fat cells from the surrounding tissues, making the removal more seamless and less invasive.
The device’s mechanical motion facilitates fat removal with less force, reducing tissue trauma. This technique offers improved control, allowing surgeons to contour the body more accurately and efficiently as per the desired results.
What Is The procedure?
Following the initial pre-surgical procedures, the surgeon starts by making small incisions in the targeted area and then inserts the vibrating cannula through those incisions.
Once the equipment is switched on, the vibration from the inserted cannula breaks down the fat cells, which are then suctioned out of the body. Depending on the discussed treatment plan, the patient can get the procedure done under local or general anesthesia.
Benefits of Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
Compared to traditional liposuction procedures, PAL has many benefits worth highlighting. These advantages make it an appealing option for patients seeking improved outcomes with less discomfort and recovery time. The surgeons also prefer this method because it offers a more precise approach for fat removal.
Better precision with the treatment
In some cases, stubborn fat from the inner thighs, arms, and neck is hard to eliminate using traditional procedures. In such instances, using PAL has better results since the vibrating cannula allows for more precise fat removal from the body. Achieving uniform results and a more contoured appearance thus becomes easier through this approach.
Shorter recovery time
One of the most promising benefits of PAL is its reduced recovery time. The less invasive nature of PAL, combined with reduced tissue trauma, often results in a shorter patient recovery period. You will likely experience less swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated sites, enabling you to return to normal activities quickly.
Improved patient comfort
Patients undergoing PAL generally experience less pain during and after the procedure than traditional liposuction. Since there is less tissue damage and inflammation during the treatment, the same translates to reduced pain and discomfort.
Better results
Since PAL offers surgeons more precision and control, the results are often more predictable, with better contouring and uniform appearance. Patients can enjoy a more natural-looking appearance after the treatment, with reduced risks of irregularities and asymmetry.
At Handa Aesthetics, our leading cosmetic surgeons and team are focused on maximizing the benefits for the patients from liposuction treatment.
What Is PAL Good For?
Power-Assisted Liposuction is versatile and can address a variety of body contouring needs. It is particularly effective for targeting areas where the fat is likely more resistant to diet and exercise.
Some of the common treatment areas include:
- Abdomen
- Thigh
- Arms
- Back
- Chin
- Neck
- Flanks
Depending on your expectations, a customized treatment plan is curated to achieve the desired results. We highly encourage our patients at Handa Aesthetics to schedule an initial consultation to discuss the treatment thoroughly with our esteemed cosmetic surgeons and determine the ideal route of cosmetic treatment for them.
Note: PAL is not a weight-loss solution but a body contouring procedure. Ideal candidates are those who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with localized fat deposits.
Who Is An Ideal Candidate For PAL?
Although power-assisted liposuction is a safe procedure, not every patient qualifies as an ideal candidate. Several factors need to be considered, including overall health, skin condition, and realistic expectations.
Here’s a better elaborate breakdown of who would be categorized as ideal candidates:
Health considerations
An ideal candidate for PAL would be in good physical health without any hindering medical condition that would pose a threat. The patient should be around their ideal weight and a non-smoker.
Skin elasticity
Good skin elasticity is crucial for achieving smooth and natural-looking results. Patients who have prominent loose or sagging skin may not achieve the desired outcome with PAL alone and might need additional treatments, such as skin tightening or a lift.
Having realistic expectations
Thorough and transparent discussion about the treatment and the desired outcomes is mandatory before you undergo the procedure. While the procedure can significantly improve the body contours, it is never a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.
What Is The Cost Of Power-Assisted Liposuction?
The cost of power-assisted liposuction in India usually starts from INR 70,000. The maximum cost can be around INR 2,50,000 or more.
Kindly keep in consideration that several factors make up the cost of the treatment, including:
- Surgeon’s fee
- Facility fee
- Anesthesia fee
- Extent of the treatment
- City you are getting the treatment from, etc.
At Handa Aesthetics, our objective is to ensure 100% transparency regarding our medical services. If you are an ideal candidate for the surgery, you will receive a thorough breakdown of the involved costs to give you the time and knowledge to make informed decisions about what to do next.
Is PAL Safe?
When it comes to any cosmetic procedure, safety is a common concern among most patients. Power-assisted liposuction is usually a safe procedure when performed by a highly experienced surgeon, like the ones at Handa Aesthetics.
However, we also prioritize realistic expectations and establish a clear understanding of the treatment plans. Following are a few risks and complications to be aware of:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Contour irregularities
- Numbness
Note: Following all pre-and post-operative care instructions is essential for a smooth recovery and optimal results.
Does Power-Assisted Liposuction Require Anesthesia?
Since PAL involves making an incision in the body through which the vibrating cannula is inserted, the procedure is done under anesthesia. There are two options: General or Localized anesthesia. Which one you get depends on the initial consultation you have with one of our cosmetic surgeons at Handa Aesthetics.
Before the procedure, an anesthesia consultation will be conducted to analyze which would be the most appropriate type of anesthesia based on your medical history, the kind of treatment preferences, and the extent of the surgery.
