Body Jet: Water-Jet Assisted Liposuction
Water Assisted Liposuction (WAL)
The Body Jet Liposuction
machine has been in development since 2000. It
has been in production since 2004, and is the
only registered device for the Water-Assisted
Liposuction (WAL) technique.
FOR A LIMITED
TIME ONLY: WATER-JET CONSULTATION COSTS $5
The WAL Technique
The technique was developed to circumvent the
problems associated with tumescent infiltration
commonly used with other liposuction techniques
(standard, mechanical-assisted,
ultrasound-assisted). Tumescent infiltration can
cause fluid shifts, prolonged swelling, and most
worryingly, toxic local anaesthetic dosage
(resulting in heart arrhythmias, fits or even
death many hours after the operation).

The fan-shaped water jet infiltrates the fatty
tissue, transforming it into a gelatinous state.
The tissue can then be suctioned off more
effectively and in a manner that is less
stressful for the patient than conventional
liposuction.

WAL mode of action
The jet has an impact power comparable to a
powerful shower head. It therefore does not
carry any risks of shearing and trauma to the
adjacent tissues. The blood vessels are kept
intact, hence less bruising and swelling is seen
after WAL than any other liposuction technique.

Histology of the removed fat shows that
extensive disruption of the fat does not occur.
Swelling due to tumescent effects is also
absent.
This results in numerous
advantages WAL has over other liposuction
techniques:
-
Painless surgery without
the need for heavy sedation or general
anaesthesia
-
Minimal intra-operative
swelling allowing precise body contouring
intra-operatively
-
Reduces risk of irregular
skin surface common after other types of
liposuction
-
Little swelling or
bruising after operation
-
Little pain after the
procedure, with most patients reporting mild
pain in the first 3 days and over 90%
pain-free by 4th post-op day
-
Resumption of light
activities by first post-op day, sporting
activities once comfortable
-
Over 94% patient
satisfaction from one procedure

Water-Jet Plus Liposuction
Dr Christine Cheng is the only doctor outside
Korea to be trained in the Water-Jet Plus
technique which is more efficient at fat removal
and can be used to totally change the physique
with circumferential liposuction.
The differences between WAL and WAL-Plus are
best demonstrated during consultation with Dr
Cheng. Consultation costs $5 for a limited time
only.
