The body jet liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure that will remove small amounts of fat from different areas of your body including stomach, love handles, knees, legs, arms or hips, using a lower force than the traditional liposuction and having fewer side effects. There are a lot of myths associated with body jet liposuction.
Myth: Liposuction Is Dangerous
The liposuction procedure is feared by a lot of people, being considered a risk due to the trauma that may cause. However, body jet is different.
Fact: Body Jet Liposuction Is a Safe Procedure
The body jet liposuction employs gentle pulses of liquid that will dislocate the fat cells; the surgeon will use a thin tubular tool known as cannula, which will be inserted under the skin to extract the fat.
The body jet is a minimally invasive procedure and it has minimal risks.
Myth: Body Jet Liposuction Is for All
Whenever a new cosmetic surgery appears, people think that it can be applied to anyone.
Fact: Body Jet Liposuction Can Eliminate up to 25 Lbs.
The best candidates for body jet liposuction are people who have certain problem zones and need to lose up to 25 lbs. The body jet liposuction is recommended for people that have certain deposits of fat that won’t go away with regular dieting or exercise.
For patients that have a higher amount of fat to eliminate, the traditional liposuction is more recommended.
Myth: You’ll Gain Back the Fat
People falsely believe that the fat will come back if you don’t exercise or have a strict diet.
Fact: The Fat Cells Are Removed
The body jet procedure will remove the fat cells, so the treated areas will not be affected by fat after the procedure. However, if you gain weight, this will be distributed in the other areas of the body where fat cells still exist.
Myth: You Can Only Perform Liposuction in One Area at a Time
Traditional liposuction can only be performed in one area at a time, being a lengthy procedure; people think the same thing about body jet liposuction.
Fact: You Can Combine Several Areas in One Procedure
Given that the body jet procedure is shorter than the traditional liposuction and it is a minimally invasive procedure, you can get treatment for several parts of your body in the same procedure.
Myth: Body Jet Liposuction Causes Rippling
A lot of people believe that the body jet liposuction will cause rippling or irregularities on the surface of the skin.
Fact: Only an Unsuccessful Body Jet Liposuction Causes Irregularities
A successful body jet liposuction will not cause rippling or irregularities on the surface of the skin. These may be caused only if the liposuction is not made under careful supervision and the suction is made too close to the skin.
Myth: Body Jet Liposuction Is Not as Effective as Traditional Liposuction
Due to the difference in technique and lower duration, people think that the body jet liposuction is not as effective as the traditional liposuction.
Fact: Body Jet Liposuction Has the Same Cosmetic Effects as Traditional Liposuction
Even if the body jet liposuction has a lower infiltration period than traditional liposuction, it will have the same cosmetic effects as traditional liposuction. The fat cells will be removed and you will not gain fat in the treated areas.
