Liposuction

Pricing for Liposuction is of course available on the web, but if your looking for some quick information you can contact WebMD or Docshop. You should also check with your family doctor before getting this done.

"The cost to get liposuction surgery greatly varies depending on the body part you are getting operated on, the doctor you are using, if there are any complications, and how much (if any) your health insurance covers. The price can be anywhere between $1,500 to $7,500."

Liposuction does not actually cause cellulite and does not make it better or worse but it may cause it to look worse due to the change in volume of the body.

No. Your body is still growing and changing. I know at 13 you look in the mirror and think you are all wrong looking. That will go away and you will change. Just hang in there.

Smart lipo is a sophisticated laser liposuction technique (laser beam hits the fat layer and destroys fat cells which are removed via suction) that brings decent results (it does remove fat) with mild side effects and no complications. Its a precise/accurate technique and its cost depends on which body area will you treat, the size of the area, the experience and location of the surgeon and also the location of the surgeon!

The history of liposuction begins at the late 60s while it wasn't before 1982 that Dr Illouz presented his "Illouz Method" which was the first suction assisted fat removal..

In 1985 Dr. Klein & Lillis invented Tumescent Lipo while in the early 90s the first ultrasound technologies were developed!

Laser Liposuction came to light in the very earlys 2000s!

If you are interested in having liposuction performed, your doctor can provide such photographs. There are also many liposuction support groups and advertisers online who will share these images.

If the Liposuction patient gains weight the entire body will distribute the fat because the treated area no longer has the same capacity to store additional fat. This is caused because a large portion of fat cells were removed from the treated area.

Laser Liposuction works to make a traditionally invasive procedure a little less problematic and safer. The surgeon would first take the wand and enter it into the patient. In the 'treatment zone' they wave the wand like device back and forth underneath the skin. The laser literally liquefies the fat-cells, which can then by sucked up by the lipoSUCTION machine. In the process, the laser also cauterizes the blood vessels which leads to a happier patient (not as much swelling, bleeding etc.) This tends to lend itself to a quicker recovery time.

The cost for liposuction at this particular region of one's body is variable with the extent of surgery and the person performing the procedure. There really is no "average" cost. For an idea of what the procedure may cost for you, speak with a doctor.

There are several different types of liposuction, each with their own distinct procedures. The basic technique of liposuction is inherent to all of them, however. During the liposuction procedure, tiny incisions are made in the area to be treated and a cannula, or metal tube, is inserted. The cannula is connected at one end to a suction vacuum. When the cannula is moved back and forth under the skin, it sucks out fat cells. Before the liposuction is performed, fluid is injected under the skin to replenish what will be lost, provide anesthesia, and to contract blood vessels. The amount of fluid injected depends on the various methods of liposuction. During what is called the super-wet technique, the amount of fluid injected is similar to the amount of fat that is to be removed. This technique typically requires general anesthesia or at least IV sedation. The tumescent technique seems to be the most popular technique available right now. This involves fluid injection of up to three times the amount of fluid to be removed. Because of this large amount of fluid, the skin and tissues become firm or tumescent. This procedure is usually performed on patients who need only a local anesthetic because the amount of anesthetic in the solution is enough to curb the pain during surgery and sometimes up to a day following surgery. Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty, or UAL, uses ultrasonic waves to liquefy fat cells to be removed. This technique cuts down on blood loss and speeds recovery. However, there seems to be a slightly increased risk of organ damage with this procedure, as well as a risk of burns from the ultrasonic pulses. Power-Assisted Lipoplasty uses machine power to operate the cannula. The cannula used in this procedure oscillates, or works in circles. This is a relatively new procedure and is still rather controversial. Some surgeons (as well as the manufacturers of the device) swear that it works quite well, while other surgeons are not as sure. There are not yet any conclusive studies published on its advantages and disadvantages.

Scars are a normal occurrence when incisions have been made. Liposuction is no different since it involves incisions, however the surgeon will carefully treat and place incisions in areas that are better concealed or in creases. Over time the scars from liposuction will begin to fade until they are hardly noticeable. There will always be a hint of a scar remaining after liposuction. These scars are only a few millimeters long, however.

The pain is usually bearable and can be alleviated with analgesics (pain killers). It is subjective and varies according to the individual and the extent of the surgery. You can start walking immediately and resume sporting activities after 3 weeks according to your case and the type of sport involved.

It will depend on the size of the patient and the procedure used. For some the effects can be dramatic. Especially the obese.

I am 4 weeks post-op (love handles and abs) and just now I am experiencing the pins and needles feeling. I slept (or atleast tried to) for the first time last night without the compression garment and I won't be doing the same tonight. I go for massages every other day, both ultrasound and hand, and they still hurt like crazy. Today was number 18 and I think I'm going to wait for the nerves to finish "waking up." The results are incredible, I had 16 pounds removed (I'm 6'2"), and the love handles are gone, as well as the belly. Would I do it again, yeah, but would dread it greatly. Not to say that misery loves company, but I feel much better to know I am not alone in this long and slow recovery.

The scope of Liposuction (Lipoplasty) is not the loss of weight, but the remodeling of the body. In the US, it is generally carried out on two well-defined areas and not on the entire body. In Countries like Colombia where plastic surgeons are not so restricted by insurance companies, Liposuction of the entire body is a common practice.

Common locations for liposuction include the chin, cheeks, neck, upper arms, abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, calves, and ankles. Better to check with your Surgeon before any decision in which area you should apply for liposuction.

Surgeons sometimes perform liposuction (sometimes called suction lipectomy) in the ankle and lower calf areas. Whether it should be performed is a different question.

Reduction in volume in the ankle area is dangerous and there will, of course, be the long-term metabolic, health, and contour problems that occurs with any adipose tissue removal. See the article, "The Belly Finds What The Thighs Lose," published in The New York Times, in May, 2011 for a introductory explanation of how reduction in subcutaneous fat results in increase in toxic, visceral fat long-term. These problems are not to be underestimated as 1000's of people cry out in desperation in online reviews months or years after their liposuction surgeries.

People have been fully disabled by liposuction, even when done by surgeons who bill themselves as the "top," highly referred surgeons with decades of experience and to school credentials to their names.

Before performing the procedure, the surgeon will just pinch and guess before inserting cannulas into your your ankle that has many tendons, bones and muscles that could be harmed in this unnecessary procedure.

Normally the fat is placed in special containers marked as " medical waste ". A company specialising in medical waste then comes to collect it from the hospital.

Of course, there is another option. Many Plastic Surgeons perform fat transfer procedures. These procedures are designed to fill in wrinkles or other depressions in the skin. Fat transfer procedures can be an alternative to a facelift to improve hollow cheeks for example. Many Patients are attracted by the idea of useing their own fat rather than a chemical to enhance their looks.

Various types of anesthesia can be used for liposuction procedures. If a small of amount of fat is being removed from a limited number of areas local anesthesia with a light sedative to make you feel drowsy and relaxed may be considered. When treating larger areas, general anesthesia is typically used causing you to be asleep during the procedure. Together, you and surgeon will select the type of anesthesia that provides the most safe and effective level of comfort for your surgery.

"Liposuction is not painful during the surgery because you will be under anesthesia. However when you wake up, you will be very sore because they were jabbing a hose in your insides over and over."

Liposcution prices mostly likely will not be impacted by health insurance. Many liposuction procedures are considered cosmetic and not required for the overall health of the patient and therefore not related to health insurance.

Liposuction is a part of cosmetic surgery that helps to reduce unwanted fat from the body, This is two types: surgical and non-surgical. In non Surgical Liposuction in India, experts are used heating, cooling, sound waves methods to remove fat tissues. This is the best method that you can attain from the Profile Cosmetic Surgery centre.

This is not something you shouldn't expect because the skin in the area where fat was removed was stretched and after removing fat it gets loose! Of course the amount of lumpiness depends on the quality of the skin, how much fat was removed and also whether you follow the doctor's guidance post op!
