PREMIER POWER ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION IN PARADISE VALLEY

What is Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL)?

Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) offers a refined way to reshape the body by eliminating stubborn fat. This procedure uses a cannula, a small tube linked to a handheld device, which generates rapid, controlled movements. These oscillations gently break down fat cells, simplifying their removal and avoiding the use of heat, for a safe and effective contouring experience.

Different brands of power-assisted liposuction machines are often associated with PAL procedures. At True Contour Medical in Paradise Valley, we prefer the Vibrasat Pro by MollerMedical. This advanced device is our top choice for treating various areas and achieving maximum mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) viability during fat transfers.

When compared to traditional suction-assisted liposuction (SAL), (https://www.realself.com/surgical/liposuction), which depends on manual cannula movements, Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) is quicker and more efficient. This makes the procedure easier on surgeons by reducing physical strain and safer for patients with less time spent under anesthesia.

Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) can be utilized independently to extract fat cells or combined with technologies such as VASER (https://www.realself.com/surgical/vaser-liposuction), which uses ultrasound, Smartlipo (https://www.realself.com/surgical/smart-lipo), which applies laser heat, or Renuvion, which incorporates helium plasma and radiofrequency energy. These methods help liquefy fat for easier removal, minimize tissue damage, and provide a mild skin-tightening effect.

Similar to other liposuction procedures, PAL can be performed on a variety of body areas, including the abdomen, love handles, back, bra rolls, upper arms, inner and outer thighs, knees, ankles, and beneath the chin.

Are You a Candidate For Treatment?

Liposuction is not intended for weight loss (https://www.realself.com/concerns/major-weight-loss), so it’s best suited for candidates who are within 30% of their ideal weight and have specific areas of stubborn fat that won't respond to diet or exercise. Skin elasticity is also crucial—skin that is loose or has stretch marks may not tighten properly after the procedure and could sag instead.

Benefits of Power Assisted Liposuction

• Targets and eliminates stubborn fat deposits for a more defined silhouette.
• Efficient fat removal across different body regions.
• Preserves fat tissue for use in fat grafting or transfer procedures.
• Effectively removes fat with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.
• Enhances the outcome of plastic surgery by removing unwanted fat.
• Offers a sustainable weight loss solution with lasting results.
• Focuses on areas where fat remains despite diet and exercise efforts.
• Smoothly eliminates excess fat, improving the overall body contour.

Recovery from Power Assisted Liposuction in Paradise Valley is typically more comfortable than traditional liposuction due to the advanced oscillating cannula technology. Some bruising and swelling in the treatment areas are normal as part of the healing process. Compression garments are often recommended to help manage swelling and promote healing.

Following Power Assisted Liposuction, mild discomfort is common during the first few days, but most patients can return to light activities shortly after. Full recovery and the best results may take a few weeks, depending on the areas treated and the procedure’s extent. Because PAL is less invasive on surrounding tissues, recovery is typically quicker than traditional liposuction. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle after the procedure is essential for achieving long-lasting and satisfying results.
