Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that is used to trim and reshape trouble areas of the body that diet and exercise can’t seem to target. Liposuction removes excess fat deposits, resulting in a more ideal body contour.
Â
Liposuction is an ideal solution for people of normal weight who just can’t seem to shed the last few pounds or have resilient deposits of fat in certain areas of the body. The procedure can improve not only one’s figure, but self-esteem as well.
Â
Unlike diet and exercise, liposuction can target specific areas of the body. Some of the most common areas treated with liposuction are:
Why Seek Liposuction?
Occasionally, regardless of a woman’s diet and exercise routine, they may still be burdened with curves in all the wrong places. Localized fat deposits can be stubborn, even with the most rigorous exercise routine. Whether these deposits are a result of genetics or a stubborn body that that is stuck in a plateau, there is a solution.
Â
While it is an amazing solution for those troubling fatty deposits, liposuction is not a weight loss treatment. Liposuction cannot be used to treat obesity or be an alternative solution to a proper diet and exercise routine. Liposuction is also not a treatment for cellulite (the dimply skin that generally appears around the thighs, hips, and/or buttocks). Contrary to popular belief, the factors that contribute to whether or not a person has cellulite have nothing to do with body weight.
Â
Liposuction can be performed safely in conjunction with several other body aesthetic procedures. Some of the most common procedures that are used with liposuction are face lifts, breast reduction surgery, and tummy tucks.
Â
With proper, realistic expectations, liposuction can be the answer you have been looking for to tackle those hard to tone spots.
Liposuction Techniques
Liposuction requires one or more small incisions made near the fatty area that is going to be removed. A hollow tube called a cannula is inserted which suctions the fat. Most liposuction is performed using the tumescent technique, which provides sustained local anesthesia and minimizes bruising. Another technique called ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), which uses ultrasonic waves to break up the fatty tissue, is indicated for certain patients undergoing liposuction.
Laser Lipo Treatment – a new and convenient way to remove fat…
Laser liposuction, or fat removal, is a procedure that allows plastic surgeons to use lasers as a tool to remove unwanted fat from patients’ bodies. Laser lipo sees doctors apply a special laser to fat tissue, which melts the fat. This melted fat is then vacuumed out using a special tool or allowed to drain into small vessels called cannula. The fact that lasers are used in this type of liposuction treatment may mean that skin in the area of the procedure heals and tightens more quickly thanks to a stimulation of collagen production associated with the use of a laser.
Laser Lipo vs. Other Techniques
Laser-assisted liposuction is a relatively new technique, and doctors may prefer to use it in specific situations, such as in small areas like the underside of the chin where traditional liposuction tools may prove unwieldy.
Is Liposuction Right for You?
It’s important to understand that liposuction is not a permanent weight loss procedure, and patients who need to lose weight for medical reasons should not see it as a solution to their problems. Rather, liposuction of any kind, including laser lipo, is intended to remove fat that an otherwise thin person no longer wants on their body. It’s also important to note that liposuction that removes a great deal of fat can result in sagging skin after the procedure, especially for older patients.
Should You Combine Liposuction with Tummy Tuck Treatment?
The Benefits
Liposuction uses suction to remove isolated pockets of subcutaneous fat that aren’t responding to diet and exercise. On the other hand, Tummy Tuck removes excess skin and tightens loose or separated abdominal muscles.With a combined treatment of tummy tuck and liposuction, it produces more optimal body contouring results. Tummy Tuck is not to be confused with Liposuction surgery. Tummy Tuck removes excess skin, eliminates unwanted fats and reconstructs muscles around the abdomen.
Â
On the other hand, Liposuction removes the build-up of unwanted subcutaneous fat in the abdomen, waist, thighs, arms, back, calf or armpit. However, it does not touch the underlying muscles nor treat skin laxity. Liposuction can also be combined with other Aesthetic surgeries in order to achieve patients’ desired body shape. Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) is the most desired and preferred surgery which Liposuction patients mostly benefit from.
Will there be scar visible after Liposuction?
All surgical procedures which involve incision and cutting will result in visible scarring on the skin. However, Liposuction does not have major visible scars because there is no incision but a mere 1 cm incision through which the tube is inserted.
When will the results be seen?
Liposuction results can be seen immediately after surgery. However, patients will need to accept that after break down of the fat Liposuction areas will need about2 weeks to settle in.
