Liposuction

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!

There could be 2, there could be 200. Calories come in different forms, and fat is just one of the three macronutrients. The amount of fat in 3000 calories depends on when the 3000 calories are coming from. Fruits and vegetables typically have low fat contents, whereas nuts and oils have very high fat contents. 1 large apple contains 0 grams of fat, whereas a mere tablespoon of olive oil contains 14 grams of fat.

You absolutely can get nerve damage from a tummy tuck and I know this to be fact first hand. I have no feeling from my belly button to my incision line due to the PS cutting a major nerve in that area. I knew that was a risk when I signed up but it is a very odd feeling that I have to now deal with for the rest of my life. Also developed a seroma immediately after surgery. Just consider all scenarios before going under the knife.

Typically, it takes about a week for most patients to see a result after the swelling has gone down.

I don't know how much 1700 cc's weigh, but I had that much removed yesterday via liposuction and was told that it was the equivalent of 1 1/2 liters of fat.

It can cost between Pak Rs. 60,000/- to 80,000/- (US$ 800 - 1000) if done with local anesthesia without general anesthesia. this technique is called tumescent liposuction and is the latest and safest method.

It actually can be if the doctor feels you may need it to save your life, It may not be liposuction per-say but it would be some type of surgery for you to lose the pounds, and you would still have to exercise and keep off the weight.

If a person wants to lose weight without liposuction eating a healthy diet and a good exercise program are two alternatives. Weight Watchers has an excellent program for losing weight and also a great support system.

One can use the word "liposuction" in a sentence in the following examples:

"Liposuction permanently removes unwanted fat deposits that can remain in spite of a healthy lifestyle."

"Liposuction can improve your appearance from top to bottom in many ways!"

"Liposuction is an outpatient procedure performed using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia depending on the area."

"Liposuction costs varies depending on how much fat you want to be removed. Therefore, if you have a lot of fat, it would cost more. In most places it costs more if you are a male than a female. Also, if you want additional fat to be removed after the first one, it would cost less. But the average cost of Tumescent Lipocuction is $5,500."
