Body-Jet Water-Assisted Liposuction
Dr. Young uses the Body-Jet® Water-Assisted Liposuction device to perform the fat transfer procedure for Natural Breast Augmentation and the "Brazilian Butt Lift".
The Body-Jet® is the latest in liposuction technology and is a simple procedure designed to simply wash the fat away with a gentle fluid spray. It can be applied to multiple areas of the body during the same session, and after the procedure you can feel the smoothed skin, without the pain and bruises found with standard liposuction.
The Body-Jet® Water-Jet Assisted Liposuction technique was developed to avoid the problems associated with tumescent anesthesia and gently washes away the fat without traumatizing other structures such as blood vessels and nerves. The Body-Jet® has shown to superior to traditional methods because of the dramatically reduced length of the procedure and less pain.
Often referred to as ‘water lipo,’ the Body-Jet® offers patients a totally different experience from standard tumescent liposuction or even laser-assisted liposuction with ultimate fat removal with minimal downtime, fast recovery and excellent results.
Body-Jet® Water-Assisted Liposuction is a totally new liposuction technique and the first of its kind in the United States using the flow of water to dislodge fat that provides many advantages:

Using a gentle, pulsating spray of fluid, the Body-Jet® Water-Assisted Liposuction dislodges fat without the brute force used in traditional liposuction procedures. Fat is loosened from connective tissues by the gentle fluid spray and then simultaneously removed. This gentle method results in minimal bruising and tissue trauma, while still achieving excellent body contouring results. Patients find this minimally invasive approach to be quick, easy and a great alternative for fat reduction.

What is Body-Jet® Liposuction?
A new liposuction technique, Body-Jet® Water-Assisted Liposuction (WAL) is a revolutionary alternative to more traditional forms of liposuction. Body-Jet® is gentle, fast, and effective for many areas of the body including the abdomen, buttocks, hips, knees, arms, and thighs. The fat in these areas is removed using water providing a more gentle procedure that is minimally invasive with rapid recovery time and very effective results. Body-Jet® uses a gentle, pulsating spray of fluid, also known as WAL, Water-Jet Assisted Liposuction, to dislodge fat without the force used in traditional liposuction procedures. Fat is removed from connecting tissue by this gentle procedure with minimal bruising and tissue trauma achieving excellent body contouring results. Body-Jet® patients find this procedure quick, easy and a great alternative for fat reduction.
Body-Jet® Lipo uses a thin, fan-shaped, water jet that is channeled into the fatty tissue. The fat is then easily released and extracted with a suction device, called a cannula, that removes the fat simultaneously as opposed to more traditional forms of liposuction. The Body-Jet® fluid carries an analgesic agent for pain and a vasoconstrictor ingredient to minimize bleeding.
Body-Jet® patients typically report returning to their normal, everyday activities within a few days as opposed to much longer for traditional liposuction. Body-Jet® results are excellent and allow for a greater assessment of contour and fat removal during the procedure.
Other advantages of Body-Jet® Liposuction include:
• Minimal damage to surrounding body tissue
• Reduced pain, swelling and bruising
• Shorter recovery times
• Less anesthesia needed
• Performed under a local anesthesia
• Shorter procedure times
• Smoother results
How does Body-Jet® work?
Dr. Young will introduce gentle pulses of fluid into the body areas that require the procedure to dislodge and remove the fat with a small tube called a cannula that is inserted just under the skin. The pulsating fluid separates fat from the tissue as quickly as the fluid is introduced under the skin. This procedure produces minimal discomfort with faster and potentially more accurate results. Body-Jet® is the "gentle liposuction" technique deployed under three phases: Infiltration; Infiltration/Aspiration; and Drying.
What areas can be treated with the Body-Jet®?
Just about any area with excessive fat can be treated with Body-Jet® Liposuction. Most patients use the Body-Jet® to address problem areas in the abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, arms and under the chin. Since the procedure is quick with minimal downtime, Body-Jet® patients often elect to treat multiple areas within the same visit.
Where is Body-Jet® performed?
Dr. Young will perform the procedure in our office under local anesthesia.
How long does Body-Jet® take?
A Body-Jet® procedure actually takes less time than traditional liposuction because there is not a lengthy infiltration phase. Most patients that undergo Body-Jet® are treated within a couple of hours.
How long does it take to recover from Body-Jet® Liposuction?
Body-Jet® is a minimally invasive procedure and, as a result, patients experience much faster recovery times than patients who undergo traditional liposuction. In fact, many Body-Jet® patients report being almost pain-free after just a couple of days and are thrilled at how quickly they can return to normal activity such as work or exercise.
Is Body-Jet® permanent?
Fat cells removed with the Body-Jet® do not grow back. Typically, any future weight gain is distributed elsewhere in the body.
Is Body-Jet® right for me?
The ideal candidate for Body-Jet® Lipo is in good health and not more than 25 pounds overweight. Patients with localized, exercise resistant fatty areas will obtain the best results. If you are looking to shed fat with a more minimally invasive procedure than traditional liposuction, Body-Jet® could be right for you.
