LAMS vs liposuction: which one fits your body?
Both remove fat cells for good. The difference is how much fat, how much downtime and which anesthesia. Here is a straight comparison to bring to your consultation.

How to choose
Three quick signals
Volume
More fat or several areas usually points to liposuction; a defined pocket often suits LAMS.
Downtime
LAMS avoids incisions, stitches and compression garments, which suits shorter trips.
Anesthesia
If you prefer to stay awake with local anesthesia only, LAMS is designed for that.

365mc original · LAMS
See the fat come out, while you are awake
LAMS (Local Anesthetic Minimal-invasive Liposuction) was developed by 365mc for people who want liposuction’s direct removal of fat cells without an incision or sleep anesthesia.
Fat is drawn directly into a syringe. According to 365mc, extracting one bottle takes about ten minutes, and because you are awake you can see the fat that was removed and talk with your doctor during the procedure.
- No incision, so no stitches to remove
- No sleep anesthesia — local anesthesia only
- No compression garment
- Customised Orange Care after LAMS
