During
the past few years, liposuction has been the most popular
surgical cosmetic procedure. A thinner, healthier body
can make you more self-confident. Liposuction can help
trim the chin area, neck, jowls, cheeks, arms, inner
and outer thighs, buttocks, knees, hips and abdomen.
Individuals of all ages, including men with enlarged
breasts, can benefit from this procedure. The best candidates
are those who have attempted diet and exercise but still
have "figure faults."

Before
the Liposuction Procedure
There
are two ways to perform liposuction: traditional suction
assisted lipoplasty and the newest method, ultrasonic-assisted
liposuction. Prior to suctioning fat, both techniques
require injecting a fluid into the treated areas to
decrease the risk of complications such as bleeding,
swelling and bruising. For suction lipoplasty, the fluid
helps make the fat easier to remove; for ultrasonic
assisted liposuction, the fluid enhances the effect
of the ultrasound on the fat tissue. Your physician
will help you determine which method is best for you,
and it is not uncommon to use a combination of both
methods.

The
Liposuction Procedure
The
original technique, suction-assisted lipoplasty draws
loose fat cells into small, hollow tube called a cannula.
If the fat is tightly held by your body, suction lipoplasty
may be unable to remove all the desired fat.
Similar
to suction lipoplasty, ultrasonic assisted liposuction
uses a hollow cannula to remove fat. The cannula is
connected to an ultrasound generator that vibrates and
causes the fat cells to rupture, allowing the fat to
be removed. While an improved result cannot be guaranteed
with ultrasonic liposuction, a more consistent, predictable
result is typical. Because less movement of the cannula
is necessary to remove fat, there is less blunt trauma
from ultrasonic lipoplasty.
Depending
upon the surgeon's evaluation of the patient, general,
intravenous or local anesthesia is required for liposuction.
The procedure typically lasts 45 minutes per section.

Liposuction Treatment
Recovery
time can vary from one day to two weeks, depending upon
the areas treated, the extent of fat removed and the
general condition of the patient.
As
with any medical procedure, there are certain risks
associated with Liposuction, which should be discussed
with a qualified physician.
