Liposuction

Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. During the past decade, Liposuction, which is also known as "Lipoplasty" or "Suction Lipectomy", has benefited from several refinements. Today, a number of techniques are available to help provide selected patients with precise results and quicker recovery times. Although no type of Liposuction is a substitute for dieting and exercise, Liposuction can remove stubborn areas of unwanted fat in specific anatomic areas.

Who is best for Liposuction?

To be a good candidate for Liposuction, you must have realistic expectations about what the procedure can do for you. The best candidates for Liposuction are normal-weight people with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas. You should be physically healthy, psychologically stable and realistic in your expectations. Your age is not a major consideration; however, older patients may have diminished skin elasticity and may not achieve the same results as a younger patient with tighter skin. Liposuction carries greater risk for individuals with medical problems such as diabetes, significant heart or lung disease, poor blood circulation, or those who have recently had surgery near the area to be contoured.

Anesthesia :

Various types of Anesthesia can be used for Liposuction procedures. Taking your opinion into much consideration, a type of Anesthesia that provides the most safe and effective level of comfort for your surgery will be selected.

If only a small amount of fat and a limited number of body sites are involved, Liposuction can be performed under local Anesthesia, which numbs only the affected areas. However, if you prefer, the local Anesthesia is usually used along with intravenous sedation to keep you more relaxed during the procedure. Regional Anesthesia can be a good choice for more extensive procedures. One type of regional Anesthesia is the epidural block, the same type of Anesthesia commonly used in childbirth.

However, for some patients general Anesthesia is indicated, particularly if a large volume of fat is being removed or if several areas of the body are to be worked on. In this case, you will sleep during the procedure.

Surgery :

The time required to perform Liposuction may vary considerably, depending on the size of the area, the amount of fat being removed, the type of Anesthesia and the technique used.

There are several Liposuction techniques that can be used to improve the ease of the procedure and to enhance outcome.

Liposuction is a procedure in which localized deposits of fat are removed to recontour one or more areas of the body. Through a small incision, a narrow tube or cannula is inserted and used to vacuum the fat layer that lies deep beneath the skin. The cannula is pushed then pulled through the fat layer, breaking off the fat cells and suctioning them out. The suction action is provided by a vacuum pump or a large syringe, depending on the body site and surgical preference. If many sites are being treated, a logical order will be followed, working to keep incisions as inconspicuous as possible.

Fluid is lost along with the fat, therefore this fluid is replaced by means of intravenous fluids and patients are carefully monitored during and after surgery.

Your new Appearance :

You will see a noticeable difference in the shape of your body quite soon after surgery. However, improvement will become even more apparent after about four to six weeks, when most of the swelling has subsided. After about three months, any persistent mild swelling usually disappears and the final contour will be visible.

If your expectations are realistic, you will probably be very pleased with the results of your surgery. You may find that you are more comfortable in a wide variety of clothes and more at ease with your body. By eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise, you can help maintain your new shape.
