Liposuction Methods

March 31, 2008

The use of liposuction to eliminate excess fat has grown dramatically over recent years; the use of this treatment is not designed to curb excess weight. However, there is a strange and unexpected side effect where the fat can return; annoyingly, this can happen in a completely different area to where it was taken.

If you are planning to have the treatment you will probably be offered one of two common methods, Ultrasonic or tumescent although there are others. The most modern of these techniques is Tumescent and has become one of the most commonly practiced aesthetic cosmetic procedures in America.

There is less bruising with this method which is an additional benefit from the use of a smaller tube. Tumescent liposuction eliminates bleeding and because the residual anesthetic solution drains out so quickly, there is less inflammation so the healing process is significantly accelerated.

Some of the most awkward areas to remove fat from are the thighs, hips, back and upper stomach region but Ultrasonic liposuction makes this possible.

Every medical procedure has some element of risk and this is no different because when using the traditional treatment process the plastic surgeon is unable to see exactly where the probe is inside the body. If you are considering this type of treatment then discuss it with your cosmetic surgeon who will be able to give advice on the most appropriate method for you.

Although side-effects using liposuction are possible, serious problems are rare; whilst the risk of death is around 1 in 5,000. To help reduce this risk, physical examinations are necessary for all subjects to make sure that every individual is healthy enough for the procedure to go ahead. Keeping the wounds clean and free from infection after the procedure is imperative so plastic surgeons prescribe antibiotics to all patients during the healing process. Cosmetic surgery is improving all the time, so are the techniques to perform it and methods to avoid complications.

Lipo dissolve another type of liposuction involves a series of injections of a compounded mixture of drugs into areas of body fat: including saddlebags, double chins, hips and other hard to reach places. One other benefit of Lipo Dissolve is that it does not require any form of anesthesia and patients feel almost no pain whatsoever.
