What is Compression Coupling in Liposuction
This is why absolute, uniform fat removal was not possible, since, after removal of the majority of fat cells, the fat cells that were no longer held in position could not be drilled out. The analogy I use is the small punching bag, i.e. speed bag, that boxers use to do rhythmic speed punches which oscillate back and front with each punch.
This is how the fat cell that is no longer tethered behaves. As the cannula strikes it, the fat cell just moves out and then returns back down without being removed. In contrast, advanced liposuction techniques employ ultrasound-assisted liposuction to melt the fat first which then dramatically changes the dynamics of fat removal.
