Table 6 Instrument selection criteria: Hypodermic needle vs liposuction cannula

Factor	Hypodermic needle	Liposuction cannula
Adipose tissue amount required	Suitable for smaller quantities	Preferred for larger volumes
Procedure type	Ideal for manual aspiration	Designed for liposuction procedures
Patient comfort	Potentially less invasive and more comfortable	Larger cannulas may be more discomforting
Physician expertise	Requires basic proficiency in aspiration techniques	Necessitates expertise in liposuction equipment and methods
Safety	Low-risk tool for manual procedures	Must be used in line with stringent safety protocols
