Body Jet by Eclipse Medical is a new liposuction modality that uses a stream of dilute anesthetic solution under pressure to dislodge fat cells from the surrounding connective tissue. The anesthetic solution is delivered as a spray simultaneously with controlled liposuction to remove the fat almost effortlessly. The Water-Jet Assisted Liposuction technique was developed in order to avoid problems associated with tumescent infiltration used in standard liposuction procedures. Excessive tumescent solution increases tissue swelling obscuring contour deformities and increasing the possibility of lidocaine toxicity. Body-Jet Liposuction gently washes away the fat without injuring structures such as blood vessels and nerves. Body-Jet liposuction is superior to traditional methods because of reduced operative time and less pain. With Body-Jet Liposuction less mechanical pressure is needed to remove the fat and therefore it can be performed under local anesthesia.The result is liposuction with less trauma, bruising and swelling than the traditional method. By leaving the connective tissue intact there is more even contraction of the skin leaving a smoother result. Multiple areas of the body can be treated at the same time, and after the surgery you can feel the smoothed skin, without the pain and bruises found in standard liposuction procedures. The results of the surgery are apparent within days after the procedure instead of months later as with traditional liposuction.

If there is too much skin laxity then Slim Lipo laser liposction is used to tighten the skin as a separate procedure at the time of liposuction or at a later date. By using the combination of Body-Jet and Slim Lipo the results are outstanding.

The Body Jet machine also allows for atraumatic collection of fat that is ideal for fat transfer. Histologic studies reveal a very high percentage of viable fat cells. Fat transfer is the best material to use as a volume filler for facial enhancement in order to fill in the naso-labial folds, cheeks, lips and other facial areas. Fat transfer to the buttocks can also be performed as in the "Brazilian Butt Lift". In Europe fat transfer is the preferred method for breast augmentation. In the USA fat transfer to the breasts is still considered under investigation and is the subject of ongoing research.
