Plastic surgeons can use one of several different types of techniques to perform liposuction surgery. These techniques include dry, wet, tumescent, super-wet, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, and power-assisted liposuction (MicroAire) techniques.
Prior to surgery, your surgeon will draw on your body using a marker to map out the areas to be treated. Next, you will be asked to lie on an operating table, and anesthesia will be administered. Liposuction is typically performed using general anesthesia, conscious sedation or local anesthesia.
