liposuction plastic surgery

Liposuction plastic surgery provides the ability to remove excess subcutaneous fat from different parts of the body. This includes external and internal surfaces of the thighs, the inner surface of the knees, back, waist, abdomen, shoulders, neck also, chin and cheek area.

The operation takes a half hour to several hours depending on the amount of the operation. Sometimes liposuction is carried out in several stages. It is mated with the fact that a single session of liposuction, a person weighing 60-70 kg are not recommended to remove more than five liters of fat. Removing more fat increases the risk of surgery and lead to serious complications. However, the record fat removal, as described in the literature was 22 liters.

Patients who are planning such an operation, it should be made clear that it is intended merely to correct the shape of the body and remove excess localized fat deposits. This intervention is not the way to rapid weight loss for people with general obesity, since on the one hand, it is impossible to perform liposuction throughout the subcutaneous tissue, the other - Liposuction does not remove the cause of the excess weight.

Of great importance is the turgor and elasticity of the skin, allowing the skin to properly cut and smoothed after surgery. Of course, people with significant excess and the weakening of the skin tone, liposuction should be done with caution or be carried out in conjunction with the operations aimed at excision of excess skin. Typically, this anterior abdominal wall (abdominoplasty), the inner surface of the femur (thigh lift), and shoulder (arm lift).

Varieties

Today, there are several ways and methods of operation. The essence of their one - destroy the fat and then removing it.

Before performing liposuction subcutaneously injected a special buffer solution which painkillers, constricts blood vessels, thereby allowing minimal blood loss and minimizes damage to stromal elements (blood vessels, nerves).

Currently, the most popular, effective and efficient are the three methods of liposuction: vacuum, ultrasound and laser.




Vacuum Liposuction is the most common. In the subcutaneous tissue through small incisions in the skin (0.5 - 1 cm) introduced a kind of tube (cannula).
 At one end, there are several side holes, the other end of the tube is connected via a flexible hose to the vacuum unit. The diameter and shape of the cannula are varied and depend on the areas of intervention and remove fat. Mechanical failure with simultaneous removal of adipose tissue provides a negative pressure in the cannula and technique of propulsion cannula under the skin (forward / back).

Ultrasonic liposuction is based on the destruction of the subcutaneous adipose tissue with ultrasound waves. Under their influence the oil emulsifies and output mentioned above, the vacuum method. In this case, the punctures on the skin have several smaller. However, this type of liposuction is used less often, as the use of ultrasound requires additional expensive equipment, and may have an indirect effect on the internal organs and the skin in the area of ​​liposuction.

The third method - Laser Liposuction (destruction). This method of operation makes it possible to influence the subcutaneous adipose tissue, using the heat of the laser beam. Unlike the vacuum, adipose tissue is not removed, and coagulated (ie burnt). The decay products of adipose tissue derived naturally. Thermal effect in reducing the area of ​​the skin in the area of ​​liposuction. Method is good for minimal intervention.

There are other methods of liposuction, and more precisely lipodestruktsii such as E, enzyme, etc., but in practice they are rarely used.

The postoperative period

Depending on the amount and type of intervention, the patient is in good health, can go home the same day or on the second or third day.

On average 2-3 weeks the patient resumes his former vitality. In the first postoperative day, the patient may be some increase in body temperature, the unpleasant sensation of pain. To speed up the recovery process may additionally prescribe a course of physical therapy, massage, lymphatic drainage, LPG. In this case, be sure to wear a compression garment as excess skin should reduce. It is possible that in Liposuction can form seals and bruises that will gradually diminish and disappear within 1-2 months. After this period, it is already possible to start playing sports, ranging from small exercise. The final result is evaluated after 2-3 months after surgery.
