How to remove excess fat from the stomach? This can be achieved with the help of diets, discharges, exhausting workouts in the gym.
Much faster and more efficient, as confirmed by the reviews, you can adjust the contours with a special kind of plastic surgery – liposuction of the body.
Types of liposuction (abdominal plastics)
With the removal of fat cells (adipocytes), completely different methods are used, so the price differs significantly – only the final result is common. There are such varieties of liposuction.
Classical liposuction in Fargo, ND is performed by pumping out fat with a cannula. It is a hollow needle connected to a tube connected to a vacuum apparatus.
First, the surgeon makes an incision length of about 1.5 cm, insert the cannula into it and with it mechanically destroy the adipocytes.
The contents of the cells are evacuated via a tube using a vacuum. An operation is performed under local or general anesthesia.
Laser. In the cannula (no more than 1 mm in diameter) there is a probe, through which a laser beam is delivered, which destroys the fat cells.
Their contents are output through the excretory system, and with a large number – through incisions. When exposed to the laser, an effective skin tightening occurs by stimulating the production of collagen.
Ultrasonic liposuction. Adipocytes are not affected by a laser, but by an ultrasonic wave. Punctures are no more than 2 mm, fat is sucked off by vacuum.
This method is gaining increasing popularity. High-frequency liposuction. The cells are exposed to high-frequency current (it is not sensitive to the patient), and then the fat is removed.
Non-surgical liposuction. The most affordable and safe liposuction, but its price is quite high. The course of sessions consists of taking baths with special additives, in combination with wraps from honey and algae.
Side effects and possible complications
Classical liposuction of the anterior abdominal wall (abdomen) was first carried out 40 years ago. Therefore this kind of operations is the most studied and tested in practice.
Complications after it are extremely rare, mostly they can be predicted, and often warned. The most predictable complications.
- Uneven contour, tuberosity. Defects are manifested due to uneven pumping fat – it depends on the skill of the surgeon;
- Severe swelling, bruising, seroma. They are explained by a violation of blood circulation or serous fluid.
- volumetric and traumatic operation; excessive activity of the patient after surgery.
- Loss of skin sensitivity.
Sometimes the side effects are expressed in a more severe form, most often they depend on the professionalism of the surgeon:
- Anemia, bleeding – with volumetric surgical intervention;
- blockage of blood vessels (thromboembolism) – if the doctor did not prescribe a blood coagulation test at the examination;
- clogging of blood vessels with fat (fat embolism) is extremely rare (sometimes – after ultrasound liposuction);
- metabolic disorders;
- infection;
- nerve damage.
Features of the recovery period
The duration of the recovery period depends on the size of the treated area, the general condition of the patient, and its immune status. After the same operation, you can leave the clinic after a few hours, and sometimes you need to see a doctor for 2 to 3 days. Usually, after liposuction in Fargo, ND, rehabilitation occurs in stages.
This is fever, swelling, pain. These phenomena occur after 1-2 weeks, if necessary, the doctor prescribes antibiotics, pain medications, physiotherapy procedures. Seals on the site of surgery can remain for 2 months.
The stitches (if applied) are removed after a week.
Wearing compression underwear. It must be worn for 30 days, sometimes longer.
Lack of physical activity. This rule is observed for about a month.
After laser liposuction in Fargo, ND, the patient usually goes home on the day of surgery, and the compression underwear wears no longer than 10 days. But for 4 weeks it is forbidden to sunbathe, visit a bath, a solarium or a swimming pool.
The cost of the operation depends on the type of procedure, the total area of correction. So, the laser method is the most expensive, the classical one is somewhat more affordable.
Remove fat only from the stomach is cheaper than liposuction of flanks, pubic zone and abdomen. Price and amount of anesthetic effect on the total costs in the calculation includes the cost of the hospital stay.
