Liposuction

Liposuction is a technique that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from designated areas. Dr. Buchen uses the EUATL procedure, an advanced method of infusing fluid into fat, to ease pain and discomfort experienced by the patient.

EUA - External Ultrasonic Assistance refers to the application of ultrasonic energy (sound waves) to the fatty tissue prior to removal of fat. This liquefies the fat, making removal easier and often less painful for the patient. It is external (as opposed to internal) because the sound waves are delivered with probes that make contact with the skin. The sound waves are transmitted from the tumescent mixture to the fat.

T - Tumescent refers to the infusion of large amounts of fluid (a mix of saline, lidocaine and epinephrine), into the fat prior to the actual liposuction. This mixture minimizes bleeding and pain (patients experience minimal pain without the risks of general anesthesia).

L - Liposuction refers to the removal of fat from any part of the body.

EUATL is the safest and most effective technique available today for liposuction. And it’s more affordable than you might think.
