How does PowerX Liposuction Work?

Unlike other liposuction devices, PowerX is silent and has a unique hand-piece that rotates 360 degrees so the cannula can reach and disconnect all the fatty tissue surrounding it vs. traditional liposuction, in which the cannula only reaches above and below. This allows for a range of body contouring options: from superficial sculpting work to large volume fat removal.

Physicians who have had experience with PowerX report that the procedure is nearly painless and may be performed with the patient awake, which means lower costs and risks from not having to use anesthesia. PowerX may be performed on the abdomen, back, chest, shoulders, hips, legs or arms. They also claim there is shorter downtime and less swelling and bruising post-procedure in comparison to traditional liposuction devices.

What Are The Risks Of PowerX Liposuction?

Because PowerX Liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia, risks associated with general anesthesia are greatly mitigated. However, there may be some swelling and bruising in the area being treated. It is important to discuss any potential complications that may arise with your physician as each individual is different and may have special circumstances.

How Much Does PowerX Liposuction Cost?

The cost of PowerX Liposuction varies from area treated and whether or not it is used in conjunction with another type of liposuction device. The cost is comparable to other types of liposuction and will vary from market to market and geographic location but may begin at $2,500.
