This procedure is done by infiltrating sterile fluid to loosen and soften the fat for easier removal. Using smaller, blunter instruments to remove the superficial fat there is less risk of any unsightly contour defects, such as bumpiness, lumpiness or grooving. It allows for excellent skin retraction, so on healing the skin tightens, and improvement of lax skin is achieved. After the fluid is in place, excess fat is then vacuumed out of the body through a small, hollow, blunt-ended tube. Multiple areas are often treated in order to achieve the best result.
