Quattro Liposuction

Quattro Liposuction – Advanced 4-Step Body Contouring System is More than fat removal: Precise design, natural curves, skin tightening, and safe recovery.

STEP 1. Water Jet – Deep Layer Liposuction

This technique uses a water jet to break down fat while simultaneously suctioning out the separated fat cells. With the strong and steady pressure of the water stream, fat is detached from surrounding tissues, allowing for selective removal of fat cells.

Water Jet Liposuction (also known as Water-Assisted Liposuction or WAL) is an advanced body contouring procedure that uses a gentle, pressurized stream of saline to loosen and remove fat cells.

Unlike traditional liposuction, it selectively targets deep fat layers while preserving surrounding tissues, nerves, and blood vessels — resulting in:

  • Less trauma

  • Reduced swelling and bruising

  • Faster recovery

  • Smoother contour results

Water Jet technology is gentler and more precise compared to conventional suction-assisted liposuction.

Key differences:

Traditional LiposuctionWater Jet Liposuction
Manual fat disruptionWater pressure gently separates fat
More tissue traumaTissue-preserving technique
Longer recoveryFaster downtime
Higher swelling/bruisingMinimal bruising

It is often preferred for patients seeking natural-looking body sculpting with less downtime.

Yes — when performed by a qualified surgeon, Water Jet Liposuction is considered very safe.

Because the technique:

  • Uses controlled water pressure

  • Minimizes heat damage

  • Preserves connective tissue

…it generally carries a lower risk of complications compared to more aggressive fat-removal techniques.

However, ideal candidates are:

  • Near their target weight

  • In good overall health

  • With localized fat deposits

Water Jet Deep Layer Liposuction is commonly used for:

  • Abdomen

  • Flanks (love handles)

  • Thighs

  • Arms

  • Back

  • Chin and jawline

It is especially effective for deep, stubborn fat layers that do not respond to diet and exercise.

Most patients experience:

  • Mild swelling for 1–2 weeks

  • Return to light activities within 3–5 days

  • Compression garment for 2–4 weeks

Final contour results typically become visible after 6–12 weeks, once swelling subsides.

Because the technique is gentler, many patients report less pain and faster healing compared to traditional liposuction.

STEP 2. MicroAire – Superficial Fat Suction

Using a micro-vibration liposuction device with a vibration amplitude of 2mm, this method targets and removes superficial fat. It is also useful for fat grafting in other body areas and is an FDA-approved device.

MicroAire Superficial Fat Suction is an advanced body contouring technique that uses the MicroAire Power-Assisted Liposuction System to precisely remove superficial (near-surface) fat layers.

Unlike traditional liposuction, this technology uses rapid micro-vibrations to gently break up fat, allowing for smoother, more controlled removal — especially in delicate or high-definition areas.

It is commonly used for:

  • Abdomen & waist sculpting

  • Thigh contouring

  • Arm fat reduction

  • Jawline and chin refinement

  • High-definition body sculpting

The main difference is precision and reduced tissue trauma.

Traditional liposuction:

  • Relies on manual force

  • Can be more physically demanding for the surgeon

  • May cause more bruising or swelling

MicroAire Superficial Fat Suction:

  • Uses power-assisted micro-vibration technology

  • Allows more precise sculpting in superficial fat layers

  • Often results in smoother contours

  • May reduce surgeon fatigue, improving consistency

It is particularly beneficial for patients seeking natural-looking definition rather than just fat reduction.

Yes, when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, MicroAire-assisted liposuction is considered safe.

Because the device allows controlled fat removal with less force, it may:

  • Reduce tissue trauma

  • Minimize irregularities

  • Improve contour accuracy

As with any surgical procedure, risks can include swelling, bruising, temporary numbness, or contour asymmetry. A thorough consultation is essential.

MicroAire is especially effective for areas requiring detailed sculpting, including:

  • Abdomen (especially high-definition contouring)

  • Love handles

  • Inner & outer thighs

  • Arms

  • Submental (double chin) area

  • Back rolls

It is commonly chosen for high-definition liposuction (HD Lipo) cases where precision is critical.

Recovery varies depending on the treated area and amount of fat removed, but generally:

  • Downtime: 3–7 days for light activities

  • Compression garment: 3–6 weeks

  • Swelling improves: Within 2–4 weeks

  • Final results visible: Around 3–6 months

Most patients return to desk work within a few days, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks.

STEP 3. Endolaser – Skin Elasticity Enhancement

While breaking down fat cells, the laser also targets liquefied fat using a cannula to remove it. This process not only eliminates fat but also improves skin elasticity, preventing surface irregularities or sagging after liposuction. The laser coagulates blood vessels and stimulates collagen production in the skin, enhancing firmness and smoothness.

Endolaser is a minimally invasive laser treatment designed to tighten skin, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin elasticity from within. A micro-optical fiber is inserted under the skin to deliver targeted laser energy, which heats tissue layers and triggers natural collagen remodeling.

This process enhances firmness, reduces sagging, and restores youthful skin elasticity without traditional surgery.

Yes. Endolaser is particularly effective for:

  • Mild to moderate skin laxity

  • Jawline sagging

  • Nasolabial folds

  • Double chin

  • Neck looseness

The laser energy stimulates collagen and elastin regeneration, improving structural support beneath the skin. Results typically continue improving over 2–6 months as collagen rebuilds.

Results can last 2–3 years, depending on:

  • Age and baseline skin condition

  • Lifestyle (sun exposure, smoking, diet)

  • Natural aging process

Many patients choose maintenance treatments after 18–24 months to sustain optimal skin elasticity and firmness.

Endolaser is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients report:

  • Mild warmth or pressure during treatment

  • Minimal discomfort

  • Mild swelling or redness for 3–5 days

Downtime is significantly shorter compared to surgical facelifts. Most patients resume daily activities within 1–3 days.

Compared to non-invasive treatments like:

  • Ultherapy

  • Thermage

Endolaser works at a deeper level because it delivers laser energy directly beneath the skin. It often provides:

  • Stronger tightening

  • More visible contouring

  • Fat reduction benefits in certain areas

However, treatment choice depends on skin condition, goals, and desired downtime.

STEP 4. Apoplex – Fat Layer Melting

This technique uses high-frequency radio waves (RF) to effectively lift and tighten tissues and skin. It helps shorten the surgery time while enhancing both liposuction and lifting effects.

Apoplex is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment designed to target and break down localized fat layers without invasive surgery.

It works by delivering controlled energy into the subcutaneous fat layer, disrupting fat cells (adipocytes). The damaged fat cells are then naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system over several weeks, resulting in gradual fat reduction and improved body contour.

Apoplex is commonly used for stubborn fat deposits in areas such as:

  • Abdomen (upper & lower belly fat)

  • Love handles (flanks)

  • Thighs (inner & outer)

  • Double chin

  • Upper arms

  • Back fat

It is ideal for patients close to their target weight who struggle with localized fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.

Most patients require 1–3 sessions, depending on:

  • Thickness of the fat layer

  • Treatment area size

  • Desired contour outcome

Visible results typically begin appearing within 3–4 weeks, with optimal results seen at 8–12 weeks as the body continues eliminating disrupted fat cells.

Apoplex is generally well tolerated. Patients may experience:

  • Mild warmth or tingling during treatment

  • Temporary redness or swelling

  • Slight tenderness for a few days

There is minimal to no downtime, and most patients return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Compared to treatments such as:

  • CoolSculpting

  • Liposuction

Apoplex offers:

  • Non-surgical fat layer melting

  • No general anesthesia

  • Minimal recovery time

  • Gradual, natural-looking contouring

While liposuction provides immediate and more dramatic fat removal, Apoplex is better suited for patients seeking subtle contour refinement without surgery.

F.A.Q

A: Removing too much fat at once can put strain on the body. Since a small amount of blood is removed along with the fat, the total amount should not exceed 5% of your body weight.

A: The incision is made in discreet areas, usually less than 0.5mm, and is hardly noticeable. Each treatment area requires only one small incision.

A: Right after liposuction, swelling and bruising occur, so you may not notice immediate changes. However, around 3 weeks post-surgery, once the swelling subsides, visible results can be seen.

A: Yes, wearing a compression garment for at least one month is recommended. It helps the skin recover quickly after fat removal by restoring elasticity and reducing swelling.

F.A.Q

LAMI is a fat removal procedure that uses only local anesthesia, without the need for general anesthesia or deep sedation. It targets and extracts unwanted fat in specific areas with minimal downtime and reduced surgical risk.

Traditional liposuction often requires general anesthesia and a longer recovery period. LAMI, on the other hand, is performed under local anesthesia, is less invasive, and allows for a quicker return to daily activities.

Most patients feel little to no pain during the procedure because local anesthesia numbs the treatment area. Mild soreness or swelling may occur afterward, but this usually subsides within a few days.

Typically, about 70% of the targeted fat is removed during the procedure. The remaining 30% is expected to be naturally metabolized by the body over time.

LAMI is ideal for individuals who:

  • Have stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise.

  • Prefer a minimally invasive procedure without general anesthesia.

  • Want a shorter recovery time compared to traditional liposuction.

Recovery is generally quick. Most patients can return to light daily activities within 1–2 days, and swelling typically improves within 1–2 weeks.

Yes, the fat cells removed during the procedure do not return. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to prevent new fat accumulation.

As with any medical procedure, there may be minor risks such as swelling, bruising, or temporary numbness. Serious complications are rare, especially compared to traditional liposuction, due to the use of local anesthesia and minimally invasive techniques.

Many patients notice a difference immediately after the procedure. Final results typically become more visible within a few weeks as swelling subsides.

Yes. When performed by a qualified medical professional, LAMI is considered safe. Its use of local anesthesia significantly reduces risks associated with traditional liposuction.

This is pure fat actually extracted with Lami.

For those who are hesitant about liposuction surgery, Lami is a simple local anesthesia fat removal procedure that extracts unwanted fat from targeted areas without general anesthesia or deep sedation. About 70% of the fat is removed, and the remaining 30% can be naturally reduced through the body’s metabolism.

“Fat extracted through Lami is pure fat, as shown in the syringe image.”
