Liposuction

Liposuction which is also known as Lipoplasty and body contouring is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat and shapes (contouring)  specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, or neck.

Ultrasound imaging has proven to be useful in reconstructive surgery for the identification of perforators for a variety of flaps,^–including the anterolateral thigh flap, and the deep inferior epigastric perforator flap.

Which Ultrasound Scanner is used for Liposuction?

This type of cosmetic surgery needs an ultrasound with high-intensity and high-frequency to select the fats. Ultrasound scans are highly accurate, non-invasive, and well-tolerated by patients. Based on this information SONOSIF’s Research and Development team recommends the Convex and Linear Color Doppler WiFi Double Head Ultrasound Scanner CLCD to our abdominoplasty doctors, cosmetic and plastic surgeons clients.

The wireless probe can meet the needs of medicine. The Convex probe of the Color Double Head WiFi Ultrasound Scanner has a 3.5 to 5 MHz frequency. It can go deep from 40 to 200 mm to monitor, exam, and diagnose the internal organs of the body. The wireless probe has a wide range of uses in the medical arena.

Also, the Color Double Head WiFi Ultrasound Scanner’s  Linear side Frequency goes from 40 to 100 mm. Its frequency varies from 7.5 to 10 MHz. That is suitable to use during the lipo procedure. 

Liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in a specific area. The amount of fat removed depends on the appearance of the area and the volume of fat. 

Ultrasound screening helps prevent intestinal perforation, a rare but catastrophic complication, ultrasound assessment is especially important for patients who have previously had abdominal surgery and scarring. all patients undergoing liposuction and abdominoplasty are pre-screened using ultrasound.
