During the procedure, many kinds of various cannulas are used to remove adipose tissue.
Most often they are made of steel, but they can have a different shape of the tip: blunt, bullet-shaped, V-shaped, in the form of a spatula and so on.
Of great importance for the convenience of the surgeon is the ergonomic and suitable form of the cannula handle.
During the liposuction, the surgeon experiences a serious physical strain, so the more comfortable the handle, the less tired the doctor’s hands will be.
Proceeding from this, the ergonomics of the handle are assigned one of the most important roles in the tool.
The purpose of the cannula depends on the number and location of the holes in it:
- A cannula having a large number of openings is best suited to rapidly extract large volumes of adipose tissue;
- With the help of small, thin cannula with one hole smooth out the boundaries and even small areas.
Depending on the treatment of a particular area, cannulas are:
- Low aggressive;
- Moderately aggressive;
- Aggressive (allow the most effective and quickly remove a large amount of fat, most often used for liposuction of the stomach).
Liposuction in Bay Area: types and techniques
Ultrasound liposuction is based on the unchanged administration of a tumescent solution and subsequent mechanical suction of adipose tissue. In addition, aspiration cannulas are supplemented with ultrasound generators, which accelerate the emulsification of fat and promote its further aspiration.
A number of additional studies have shown that this technique is similar to conventional mechanical liposuction and has no additional advantages;
Vibration liposuction is based on the application of reciprocating movements for the passage of the cannula. The mechanisms themselves are extremely cumbersome, since they contain an engine in the handle or assume the use of a separately standing compressor.
It is more convenient for a surgeon to make liposuction using a vibration technique, since more fat is pumped out in one pass, fewer movements need to be made and, thus, the arm becomes less tired.
But these benefits are significant only when aspirating large amounts of fat, and for the patient it does not involve any significant features.
The technique has not received much distribution because of the large noise activity of the equipment, its cumbersomeness, the high price and complexity of the process of sterilization of equipment. But the result and frequency of complications can be compared with ordinary liposuction;
Laser liposuction involves the use of helium-neon or semiconductor-diode lasers. In our center it can be made inexpensively. From the standard mechanical technique, it is distinguished by an additional effect of the laser on the treated tissue. Significant advantages of liposuction with the help of laser energy before the mechanical technique was not found.
Liposuction of the abdomen in Bay Area
The outlines and silhouettes of the back, chest, upper and lower abdomen form our perception of the ideal body. The belly of perfect form necessarily has beautiful contours of the rectus abdominis, a very small amount of subcutaneous fat and a slightly convex contour in the navel and just below the navel.
If we talk about the sides of the abdomen, then in women they should be an hourglass shape with a smooth transition to the hips. For men, their ideals – the V-shape is considered perfect. It is necessary to do liposuction, not abolishing rational nutrition and exercise to get close to the ideal contours of the abdomen and back.
People whose body does not have ideal forms are often addressed to the surgeons for liposuction.
However, it is worthwhile to know that liposuction is not just another method for weight loss, but only an effective method of correcting the problem areas of the body.
During the consultation, palpation of problem areas is carried out, allowing to draw conclusions about the degree of subcutaneous fat, the method of the operation and the required size of the cannula for liposuction. Ideally, the operation is best done for patients who are not obese, in other words, with a body weight close to normal and good health.
Before liposuction photographed areas, where manipulations will be carried out, the timing and price are specified. A doctor’s consultation is important to find out how much the patient’s wishes and the capabilities of his body match the results of the operation. Together with the patient, the doctor discusses in detail the problem areas and marks the skin of the areas where micro-incisions are planned.
Liposuction of hips
Tumescent liposuction brings pleasure to the surgeon along with the patient. After performing such an inexpensive procedure, our patients no longer need tailoring to order. They quietly choose their favorite model in every store. This problem is most acute for women, whose body is inclined to save fat deposits on the hips and on the lateral surfaces of the pelvis.
The ideal patient for surgery is a woman who sports and has a stable body weight. If we talk about the body weight in figures, then it should not exceed the normal weight by more than 11lb.
To make the operation is worth it when it is impossible to get rid of problematic areas with the help of sports or dieting – tumescent liposuction is not the best means of correcting the body of people suffering from obesity. It is also contraindicated for women and men with full hips, most of which is occupied by muscle mass.
Deciding on the operation, patients should understand, that it can not pull up the skin and will get rid of cellulite. The latter is formed by fibrous strands, which go in the direction from the skin to the muscle to be fascia.
The skin has a tuberous appearance due to bundles of fibrous tissue that restricts the fatty lobules. Some plastic surgeons are trying to eliminate cellulite with the help of dissecting cannula for performing surface surgeries. However, one must know and understand that no one can guarantee a positive result of such an operation.
