What is Liposcustion?

Liposuction

The use of liposuction to eliminate excess fat from the thighs, bottom and stomach has grown dramatically over recent years as it can treat this problem when some other methods fail. The fat that’s removed can sometimes reoccur, annoyingly in a completely different area to where it was taken from.

Tumescent and Ultrasonic are the two most commonly used methods although there are other lesser known techniques. The latest of these methods; Tumescent, has in a short space of time become one of the most popular forms of cosmetic enhancement in the USA today.

There is less bruising with this method which is an additional benefit from the use of a smaller tube. The main reason Tumescent liposuction has become so popular with cosmetic surgeons is because the addition of adrenaline to the solution reduces the blood loss that often happens when more traditional methods are used.

Ultrasonic liposuction enables the removal of fat in areas that were previously unable to have liposuction such as the back, upper abdomen and male breast.

Every medical procedure has some element of risk and this is no different because when using the traditional treatment process the plastic surgeon is unable to see exactly where the probe is inside the body. The best thing to do is to consult with a surgeon to choose the most suitable technique for your body.

Although liposuction is relatively safe if carried out by a professional cosmetic surgeon, there can be risks and very, very rarely death – about 2 in 10,000. In preparing for the procedure, individuals are required to undergo a series of physical examinations to determine whether or not their health is good enough to have it performed. To ensure infections do not occur after treatment, cosmetic surgeons prescribe antibiotics to patients and re-iterate the importance of keeping wounds clean. As time has passed, a great deal has been learned and techniques improved.

Lipo Dissolve is a series of micro-injections developed to dissolve fat deposits of the face and body providing an effect similar to regular liposuction. Of course the greatest benefit to patients undergoing this process is the fact that no form of anesthetic is required and it does not interfere with other cosmetic skin treatments where surgery is not required.
