Body-Jet in Austin

Revolutionary Water Lipo in Austin in Lieu of Liposuction

Body-Jet liposuction is an amazing, revolutionary new method that gently and effectively removes fat permanently to reveal the contoured body you have always wanted. This is a completely new method of liposuction and the first ever in the United States. Body-Jet uses a gentle, pulsating spray of fluid that removes fat without the extreme force used in traditional liposuction procedures. This incredible new method is called water assisted liposuction and results in minimal tissues trauma, less bruising, and excellent results.

Body-Jet advantages:

Gentle fat removal
Minimally invasive
Rapid recovery
Excellent results

How does Body-Jet work?

Gentle pulses of fluid, actually a dilute anesthetic solution, dislodge and remove fat through a small tube. The unique pulsating spray loosens and separates the fat from the other tissue very effectively and with minimal trauma. At the same time the fluid is removed just as fast as it is introduced. This allows improved comfort, as wells as a faster and more accurate procedure.

What are the benefits of Body-Jet/ Water Lipo?

Minimal downtime and discomfort
Less distortion of body contours
More accurate and precise body sculpting
Performed under local anesthesia
Most patients back to work and normal activity in just days

Who is the ideal patient for Body-Jet?

If you are in good health with localized, exercise resistant fat deposits that just will not go away Body-Jet in Austin could be perfect for you. The best candidates are no more than 25 pounds overweight or less than a body mass index (BMI) of 30. Sometimes exceptions can be made for this.

What areas can be treated?

Just about any area of the body with extra fat deposits can be treated. The most popular choices are the abdomen, waist, back bra area, hips, thighs, knees, arms, and under the chin.

How is Body-Jet different from traditional liposuction?

Doctor Sneed first numbs the area to be treated with gentle pulses of anesthetic fluid through tiny openings in the skin. Then through these same small openings the Body-Jet delivers pulses of additional numbing solution to gently dislodge and remove the unwanted fat. Body-Jet uses less anesthetic solution and thus allows the doctor to more clearly sculpt the area of the body being treated. This can allow a significantly superior cosmetic result with less time in the surgery room and less downtime and recovery for the patient. In addition, because this technique is gentler than traditional lipo, the fat removed is in better condition after removal. Body-Jet Lipo's ability to preserve fat in a more pristine condition makes it ideal for fat transfer to other areas of the body such as the fae and hands.

When can patients resume normal activity?

Recovery is in most cases quick and easy. Many patients report rapid recovery and being pain free in just days. You should easily be able to drive to next day, begin exercise within a week, and be able to do just about anything in less than two weeks.

Is Body-Jet liposuction permanent?

Fat cells removed with Body-Jet do not come back. Any future weight gain is usually distributed elsewhere.
