The Body-jet, also referred to as Aqua- Lipo or Water Jet Assisted Liposuction (WAL) uses a thin, fan-shaped water jet that is channelled into the fat tissue. As a result the fat easily loses its structure and is released. The suction cannula removes the fat simultaneously as opposed to traditional liposuction. The infiltration fluid carries an analgesic for pain and a vasoconstrictor to minimize bruising.

What is Water-Jet Assisted Liposuction?

Water-jet assisted liposuction is a transformative new approach to liposuction, the first of its kind in the United Kingdom. Using the Body-jet  device, this revolutionary alternative to traditional liposuction is gentle, fast and effective. Using the flow of water to dislodge fat, this technique is providing many advantages.

•    Gentle procedure
•    Minimally invasive
•    Rapid recovery
•    Excellent results

How Does Body-jet Work?

With Body-jet, the physician simultaneously introduces gentle pulses of fluid into the body while dislodging and removing fat through a cannula. In essence, Body-jet is designed to aid in loosening fat using a unique pulsating fluid spray that separates it from other tissue effectively and with minimal trauma. Body-jet also removes fluids from the patient as quickly as the fluids are introduced. Because less fluid is in the patient at any given time; minimal discomfort and a fast and potentially more accurate procedure is possible.

How is Body-Jet different from Traditional Tumescent Liposuction?

Body-jet  results in very effective fat removal without the trauma associated with traditional Liposuction and there is no need for general anaesthetic. The results are excellent, allowing assessment of contour and fat removal during surgery much easier. The typical distortion associated with tumescent fluid, such as Liposuction procedures, is eliminated. This allows the surgeon and patient to reach the desired results much more easily.
Other advantages of Body-jet  Body Contouring include:

•    Minimal damage to surrounding tissue
•    Reduced pain, swelling and bruising
•    Short recovery
•    Less anesthesia needed
•    Easily performed without general anaesthetic
•    Shorter operating times
•    Smoother results

Jet Assisted Fat Transfer with Body-jet

Natural Breast Augmentation

Ideal for patients who want to increase their breast size and slim down their mid-section at the same time?
With Body-jet and Jet Assisted Fat Transfer Dr Gabriel is able to transfer body fat to the breasts to create a completely natural augmentation.

Fat grafting to the breast is done under local anesthesia and consists of two procedures on each occasion harvesting the fat and then placement into the breasts.

To begin, unwanted fat is safely removed using the Body-jet  procedure
The method allows more viable fat cells ot be obtained which are then transferred into the breast via a single small incision with a small cannula fanning out to place the fat cells for a natural look. This technique results in increased survival of the fat cells and therefore, better, longer lasting results. 

There is no evidence that Body-jet to the breast is less safe than any other breast surgery in affecting the detection of breast cancer.  Physical examinations and mammograms are still encouraged to examine for breast cancer. 
The best candidates for breast augmentation with Body-jet are those who want a moderate increase and want to restore to a previous size in a natural way.

Benefits of Natural Breast Enhancement with Body-jet and JAFT

•    Performed under local anesthesia. Patient remains awake during the surgery. 
•    Feels very natural.
•    Excellent for those who have reservations about saline or silicone gel breast implants.
•    Fat is completely natural substance that comes from your own body
•    There are minimal incisions with this procedure, which reduces the possibility of scarring
•    NaturalFillâ„¢ to the breasts can be used to disguise breast implants that do not look natural
•    As NaturalFillâ„¢ does not involve open incisions, there is less risk in terms of damage to nerves, blood vessels, and ducts than in open surgery.

Body-jet for restoring facial volume and rejuvenating hands

Dr. Gabriel uses Body-jet to harvest soft viable fat cells from patients’ own  abdomen, thighs or buttocks, and  injects it into areas where the aging process has caused general loss of volume: in the "hollowed-out" areas around the eyes and cheeks; back of the hands; nasolabial folds; and in the brow area.  The soft viable fat harvested with Body-jet creates a natural, youthful look.  Additionally, since their own fat is used, the end results are long-lasting to permanent.
Fat harvested with Body-jet has even been used to create fuller, rounder buttocks and can fill out acne scars.

Other advantages of NaturalFillâ„¢ over Traditional Facial Fillers:

• Performed under local anesthesia.  No need for general anaesthetic
• The best longevity
• Cost effective – There’s no limit on the volume.  Traditional fillers only use about 1cc but, Fat Transfer can use 4 cc’s at the same price.
• There is full correction after .  No particle correction and the need for additional appointments.
• The body’s own fat has natural cells and growth factors which promotes healing and wonderful anti-aging properties.
