What To Consider Before Having Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most popular quick fixes for
weight loss in the country. Rather than spend the effort it
takes to change your lifestyle and adopt healthy exercise
and dieting practices you can simply hire a plastic surgeon
to vacuum stubborn fat deposits away. The first thing you
should consider before having the operation is whether or
not you can maintain your new body so that you don't have
to repeat the ordeal again!
Liposuction can be performed on any area of the body that
needs to lose weight including the upper arms, thighs,
buttocks and belly. Liposuction can even be performed on
the calves to give a female a more fetching looking legs.
There are also few factors to consider before giving your
plastic surgeon the go ahead for the procedure. First of
all don't have any illusions that liposuction will get rid
of dimpled or rippled looking skin. If you had this type
of orange peel look to your skin before the procedure,
chances are that you will still have it after as well.
Also keep in mind that if too much fat is lost your skin
could sag in an unattractive way. You might have to have
some of the flesh snipped away and sewn up again if you
want your skin to appear taut and firm.
Don't count on your liposuction procedure be an outpatient
surgery. Depending on how much fat you are having sucked
out your operation may require a hospital stay and general
anesthesia. You may also require what is called "tumescent
anesthesia" which involves injecting and suctioning a
combination of plasma and anesthesia to minimize the amount
of bruising and pain.
To lessen the discomfort and length of the entire ordeal
you might want to ask your plastic surgeon if he or she
performs
Ultrasonic assisted liposuction. This is a two-
step procedure that utilizes energy from sound waves to
liquefy the fat deposits before they are sucked out of the
body. First the doctor inserts a heated probe beneath the
skin that causes the fat cells to burst and release their
contents. The resulting buttery substance is then removed
from the body. One drawback of this procedure is that it
can burn the skin and possibly cause more pain if your body
tissue has resisted in any way to the procedure.
Ultrasonic assisted liposuction (UAL) is a two-step
technique that uses the energy from sound waves to liquefy
fat deposits before they are suctioned. A small heated
probe is inserted. This causes the fat cells to rupture,
releasing their oily contents. The oily contents are then
suctioned out. Advantages to this method include the
ability to remove fat in difficult areas such as the upper
abdomen, the back, and the male chest. Disadvantages
include the possibility of more pain, swelling, skin burns,
and other complications.
Before you get liposuction you also need to consider that
the length of time that it can take an individual to
recover from liposuction really does vary from person to
person. The average recovery rate is about three days, but
make sure that you have time off from your work for at
least ten days in case you do not heal quickly or suffer
disorienting effects from the potent pain medications that
are often given to treat post-operative pain.
