Liposuction or Lipoplasty, as cosmetic
surgeons refer to it, has become another
very popular aesthetic body treatment
which removes unwanted body fat. A
peculiar and unwanted side effect is that
fat can reoccur in a completely different
area than where it was taken.
The two basic techniques of removal are
used; the Tumescent technique and
Ultrasonic, Tumescent being the most
popular. Since the tube that removes the
fat is not as large, it helps to reduce
bruising in the area, is less painful and
more rapid healing and recovery is
expected.
With Ultrasonic liposuction it is possible
to remove fat from difficult areas such as
the upper abdomen, flanks, hip and back.
The conventional method is often more
difficult to perform over other cosmetic
treatments because the surgeon cannot see
where the probe is, consequently internal
injury can be the result.
A consult with your cosmetic surgeon about
the best and safest technique is
recommended. Patients are required to
undergo a series of physical examinations
to determine whether or not their health
is good enough to have liposuction
performed.
Much progress has been made recently in
this field. Lipo Dissolve, another process
akin to liposuction removes fat from
cellulite sufferers. The greatest benefit
to patients is that no form of anesthetic
is required, just tiny injections, and
does not interfere with other cosmetic
skin treatments where surgery is
required.
