Liposuction is among the most widely requested cosmetic surgical procedures worldwide. The procedure involves removing unwanted fat to trim the body and contour it into an attractive shape. Conventional body contouring surgery is invasive and comes with side effects like bleeding and longer recovery time. Advancements in technologies have changed all this and today, liposuction is performed using minimally-invasive and even non-invasive techniques.
LipoAdvisor, the popular portal dedicated to liposuction, conducted a study to evaluate popular lipo techniques and see how they rank side by side. They used the stats from the World Wide Web to identify which techniques were the most popular by looking at what potential customers searched for online.
The analysis covered the period May 2014 – April 2015 and was conducted using Google Trends, Google Keyword Planner, and Bing Keyword Research. The results revealed the top 5 liposuction techniques in 2015 as:
- SmartLipo
- Vaser Lipo
- Liposculpture
- Cellulaze
- Slim Lipo
were the tools used for the process and stats during the period May 2014 – April 2015 were collected.
