sorry i should have been clearer in what i meant
there are various typs of lipo but the one i mean in non surgical.
there are clinics doing it for fairly slim people and there is no cannula...just the fat melting apparently
ecceles, i have read that page - and numerous others - before, and i refer you to his bit
"Types Of Ultrasonic Liposuction
There are two main types of ultrasonic liposuction procedures:
- Internal Ultrasonic Liposuction
- External Ultrasonic Liposuction
Internal ultrasonic assisted liposuction refers to the liposuction procedure that utilizes a long metal probe, or cannula, that is inserted into fat through a large incision. The cannula can either be solid or hollow and internal ultrasonic liposuction operations are usually performed with either general anesthesia or heavy IV sedation.
External ultrasonic assisted liposuction uses a metal paddle that is applied to the patient's skin, which directs ultrasonic energy into subcutaneous fat. This is a relatively new surgical procedure. "
the second one - as i have said - is aparrently for fairly slim people, with fatty pads or cellulite and it just alters the appearance and assists the breakdown and burning off of those stubborn bits that you cannot shift...
yes boxtops, the name is confusing, which is why they add extrenal and internal or 'non surgical' to the descriptions i suppose.
you can then have normal lipo afterwards to remove the fat if you want, but apparently you can just leave it...if there isnt much of it.
