A new cosmetic procedure is gaining ground, but not weight of course. Water jet liposuction has been developed in Germany and the procedure is being brought into the United States. The newest liposuction and weight removal trend was actually developed in 2007, but had yet to produce any backing in the US or other parts of Europe, as many patients and plastic surgeons are quite skeptical of such new products that may be a gimmick. But aqua lipo has proven itself among many US plastic counterparts.
KCRG news in Iowa said of the new liposuction procedure, "During the surgery, a plastic surgeon uses high water pressure to dislodge fat cells and remove excess fatty tissue. "We're really power-washing the fat out of the body," Dr. Bassin, the third doctor in the United States to use water-jet liposuction, told Ivanhoe. Most of the time, water-jet liposuction doesn't require the patient to undergo general anesthesia. Although conventional liposuction can't get rid of cellulite completely, some surgeons believe the water-jet procedure can. The difference is water-jet liposuction breaks apart cellulite and makes it easier to remove."
In an economic climate of uncertainty investing in less expensive procedures and those are minimally invasive and time consuming may be a wise decision. So water jet lipo may in fact be a popular avenue for weight loss.
