How do different types of liposuction



Due to the peculiarities of the female body, excess fatty tissue is deposited on the hips and abdomen, and often no diets can remove them. Liposuction procedure will help remove excess fat.

During its conduct, fat is removed by the method of aspiration from problem areas, in other words, fat is sucked under vacuum.

It is believed that the average age of patients resorting to this procedure - women 40-55 years. Liposuction of hips, abdomen, and breeches is quite in demand. With the help of the operation, fat deposits are removed on the back, in the neck-collar area, the so-called “neck”. Liposuction is also used by men, mainly in the abdominal area.

Liposuction procedure is not carried out in the stage of exacerbations of any diseases, in case of mental diseases, in the presence of tumors of various etiologies, during pregnancy. Liposuction is not recommended for obesity, as this will not help to cope with the problem. Not carried out during menstruation, as well as lactating mothers. The minimum age of patients is 18–20 years.

How do liposuction? There are several ways to carry out the operation:



• vacuum;
• vibrating;
• rotary;
• ultrasonic;
• laser;
• chemical.

Vacuum liposuction is the classic way to remove fat and at the same time, the most traumatic. How do vacuum liposuction?



• Through an incision in the skin, special cannulas with a blunt tip are inserted.
• The surgeon with a reciprocating motion breaks the fat, at the same time it is pumped out under vacuum.
• Because of the trauma, this type of liposuction is used to remove small amounts of adipose tissue.

One of the varieties of vacuum aspiration is tumenescent liposuction . During the operation, a special solution is injected under the skin: a mixture of saline, lidocaine and adrenaline. The solution helps to liquefy the fat, which is then pumped out through the cannula. This technique allows not to injure blood vessels, but will not work for patients with lidocaine allergy.

Vibration liposuction is recommended for removing fat in the areas of the back, abdomen, thighs and buttocks.

• Manipulation is performed using a vibropneumatic apparatus.
• The cannula moves rapidly in different directions, acting destructively on the subcutaneous layer of fat.

Rotational liposuction uses compressed air, as a result of which the cannula performs rotational movements. The vibration-rotary method used causes the cannula to rotate and vibrate. The use of these techniques allows not to violate the integrity of blood vessels, does not lead to skin necrosis.

How do liposuction by ultrasound? It is carried out by introducing into the subcutaneous layer a special probe. Ultrasound destroys fat cells, then fat is pumped out. Tissue injury is minimal, so the patient recovers quickly after surgery.

The method of non-invasive ultrasonic liposuction is also used , while the skin is not disturbed and anesthesia is not required. Fat decomposition products are derived naturally by the lymphatic circulatory system.

Laser liposuction is performed with a fiber cannula . Due to local heating, fat breaks down faster and becomes more viscous. This makes pumping easier. The method is considered less traumatic, applied in the hips, abdomen, waist and knees. It is indicated for age-related patients, as skin turgor improves over the site of the operation. This is due to the increased production of collagen.

Chemical liposuction is a non-surgical method. When it is carried out, fat-breaking solutions are injected under the skin (caffeine, plant extracts are used). Under the influence of active substances, the fat enters a more liquid fraction and is excreted from the body through the lymphatic system.

This method of liposuction is performed to remove small portions of fat, in the area of ​​the knees, chin, etc. On the positive side, we can note the painlessness of the operation, the lack of a rehabilitation period. The total duration of the course is from 4 to 6 procedures. The initial decrease in volumes up to 3 cm., With repeated exposure to 5-10 cm. The procedure can be repeated in six months.

How is the liposuction procedure?

Despite the fact that the procedure is not difficult from a medical point of view, you should seriously consider choosing a clinic and a doctor. Read the reviews of patients about the clinic and doctors, read the license. The final decision will help you take the doctor at the preliminary consultation. He will talk about contraindications to the procedure, about the method of liposuction, how liposuction is going on, and possible complications.

The doctor will examine the patient, explain how to prepare for the operation. On examination, the condition of the skin and the estimated amount of fat to be removed are established.

2 weeks before surgery, you must:

1. Abandon alcohol and cigarettes, it will improve the overall condition and blood clotting.
2. Start taking iron supplements to avoid postoperative anemia.
3. Eat right, limiting in the diet fatty, salty, coffee, etc.
4. Do not take blood thinning medication.

For a week to completely abandon sports, do not carry out hair removal in the field of correction. For 3 days do not use deodorants and perfumes. The liposuction procedure is carried out under general, intravenous anesthesia, as well as under local anesthesia. Local anesthesia is usually used with a small area of ​​exposure and a small amount of fat to be removed.

The total amount of fat removed at the same time should not exceed 1.5-2 liters. This issue is previously coordinated with the attending physician. On average, the duration of the operation is 2 hours.

Surgical intervention is carried out in several stages:

1. The surgeon makes incisions on the skin.
2. A special cannula connected to the device is inserted through the incisions into the subcutaneous layer.
3. The cannula moves in the fat layer with fan-shaped translational movements, breaking the fat cells.
4. Fat emulsion under vacuum aspirated into a special container.

The procedure is quite worked out, takes place in the normal mode. After the manipulations, the patient remains in the hospital for 1-2 days.

Rehabilitation after liposuction and possible complications

Rehabilitation after liposuction depends on the volume and complexity of the operation, it can last from days to six months. After surgery, the pain is usually insignificant, patients remain in the hospital due to the release of fluid in the puncture sites. Usually by the morning the liquid is no longer allocated, the patient goes home.

Disability time is from 2 to 5 days. After the operation, compression garments are worn, which must be worn for 3-4 weeks around the clock. It reduces swelling, contributes to tightening the skin and reducing pain symptoms. Shower can be taken on the 5-6th day after the operation. In the correction zone, edemas, thickening, and tuberosity of the skin are formed. Some patients complain of soreness, muscle spasm and fever. To eliminate pain, the doctor can prescribe painkillers, to prevent inflammation, antibiotics.

One of the problems after the performed manipulations are the appearance of stretched skin and empty cavities formed after aspiration of fat. Physiotherapy procedures prescribed by a doctor and a massage course will help to cope with the problem. Conducting lymphatic drainage massage contributes to a uniform distribution of lymph throughout the body, the return of the lost tone, the alignment of its tone.

Properly performed liposuction will gently adjust the volume of your body, making it slim and attractive again.
