Liposuction - Pros and Cons
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. Whilst at first this seems like an ideal fat removal method, the downside is that it often returns; often this occurs in a different area from where it was first removed.
Tumescent and Ultrasonic are the two most commonly used methods although there are other lesser known techniques. The most modern of these techniques is Tumescent and has become one of the most commonly practiced aesthetic cosmetic procedures in America.
Because the tube that removes the fat is not as large it helps to reduce the bruising in the area which is why the recovery period is longer using the procedure as it requires a general anesthetic. Virtually every patient to date has found the tumescent liposuction technique to be less painful, provides better results with more rapid healing and recovery.
With Ultrasonic liposuction it is also
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, and as a consequence internal injury can be the result. The best advice when considering this course of treatment is to consult with the surgeon about the best and safest technique.
While the liposuction procedure is relatively safe when performed by a cosmetic surgeon, it is not without its risks and side effects, and including, death in very rare instances; approximately 20 out of 100,000. In order to minimize the danger, patients will have a medical to ensure their health is good so the chances of complications are reduced. Infections can occur after any surgery so some physicians prescribe an antibiotic to patients because of the importance of keeping wounds clean until they heal. Techniques in cosmetic surgery have moved forward in leaps and bounds especially in the field of fat removal.
A new procedure akin to liposuction is Lipo dissolve, which eliminates unwanted fat with a series of micro-injections into problem areas such as the neck, stomach and thighs. Lipo Dissolve can also be administered in combination with any other non-surgical skin treatment and does not require any anesthesia since it is virtually painless.
