Still confused about the difference between the LAMS and Lipolite methods? Both are body contouring procedures, or fat reduction, but there are differences in the procedures and the time for results.
LAMS
LAMS (Local Anesthetic Minimally Invasive Liposuction) is a minimally invasive method using local anesthesia, so the patient remains conscious during the procedure. As explained by dr. Fanny Evasari Lesmanawati, M.Ked.Klin., Sp.B.P.R.E., from the akasia 365mc Body Aesthetic Center in Surabaya, compared to conventional liposuction, this procedure uses a small cannula, resulting in smaller scars, no need for a corset, and the patient can return to their daily activities immediately.
During the procedure, the doctor injects a local anesthetic into the area to be liposuctioned, then injects a medicated solution to soften the fat, facilitating the suction process and preventing bleeding and bruising.
Lipolite
The Lipolite method is one option patients can choose to remove fat from the body and achieve their ideal body contour. Lipolite is performed under sedation and is recommended for patients with low pain tolerance, making it difficult to perform the procedure under local anesthesia.
The Lipolite procedure requires more extensive preparation than LAMS, and involves a more detailed medical examination to assess the patient's health condition before the procedure.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a procedure that has long been used to remove stubborn fat in specific areas. Unlike LAMS, liposuction is performed under general anesthesia and is recommended for overweight patients who are prone to obesity and therefore cannot undergo LAMS alone (requiring a larger cannula and a longer procedure time). Liposuction is performed only for specific indications with special care.
In conclusion, LAMS is a light fat removal procedure with local anesthesia, is quick, and allows immediate activity, while Lipolite uses sedation; both are effective in removing fat in unwanted areas. Both liposuction methods can be performed on any area of the body as needed. Liposuction, on the other hand, is reserved for specific cases, such as obesity or other medical diagnoses.
