Many patients consider abdominal and hip liposuction as one of the weight loss and cellulite control methods used in cosmetology – this is not entirely true.
Solution of aesthetic problem
But, firstly, this is not a cosmetic procedure, but a plastic surgery, (non-surgical – liposuction can not be named) carrying out the removal of fat affects the state of the whole organism.
Secondly, although liposuction of the abdomen allows you to get rid of fat deposits, it does not treat cellulite.
Removing excess fat, it is impossible to eliminate the cause of its development.
Fatty deposits can return, or concentrate in other parts of the body – so, it is possible that liposuction will not solve the problem, and perhaps even exacerbate it.
Since the body seeks to resume the removed fat stores with liposuction. Since the body seeks to resume the removed fat stores with liposuction.
With regard to weight loss – the result of liposuction will need to be maintained by changing the habitual way of life: exercise and proper nutrition are mandatory.
Just as in the case of cellulite, relieving the patient of the consequence (excess fat), the surgeon does not affect the cause of its appearance.
We will consider the arguments for carrying out liposuction
Liposuction is an effective way to eliminate local deposits in the so-called problem zones (stomach, hips, arms). The procedure can be shown to patients of both sexes who suffer from obesity and body contour disorders.
The most popular areas of the Liposuction, they are also the most problematic areas of the abdomen, thighs (including side sections), knees, buccal folds, but this is far from a complete list of parts of the body where laser and ultrasound liposuction can be performed.
In morbid obesity (abnormal weight gain), liposuction is performed as the final operation after ballooning the stomach, bandaging and other procedures that are prescribed by the attending physician. In older patients, laser liposuction can be performed in conjunction with surgical or hardware skin tighteners.
Arguments against the removal of adipose tissue
Vacuum Liposuction (classical) is a very serious risk to the body. After its carrying out, various problems of an aesthetic and medical plan may appear.
Risk to the body
Liposuction is a pumping out of fatty tissues and this is a great stress, both energy and hormonal.
In addition, it is likely that part of the fat will get into the blood, and it will have to be removed by the liver. Therefore, after surgery, unpleasant surprises from the endocrine system and the liver are possible. It happens that before liposuction, the patient and his attending physician did not notice any disturbances in the work of individual organs and systems, and the operation became the impetus that provoked their manifestation.
Injuries and complications after liposuction
A very common case of complication after liposuction is the tuberosity of the skin, which is caused by uneven pumping of adipose tissue. The same effect can give incorrectly selected compression underwear or patient’s non-compliance with the rules that must be followed after the operation. The defect is eliminated only by repeated operation, but a positive result is not always guaranteed.
It is possible to get burns during the intervention (with laser liposuction), arrhythmia, embolism, nerve compression. It happens that the places where the cannula is inserted turn into long-healing wounds, which will have to be treated additionally. Ultrasonic and laser liposuction can cause seroma (a collection of blood serum in the “pocket” formed between the skin and tissue).
Long recovery period after surgery
Recovery after surgery is very painful. In addition, there may be edema and bruising, increased temperature, limited mobility.
There is a possibility that scars will remain in places of incisions. And with all this, the cost of liposuction can not be called cheap, prices start at $ 300 per zone.
Which liposuction method to choose – laser, ultrasound, or classical vacuum?
Vacuum method (classical Liposuction)
A cannula is placed in the subcutaneous space (a medical tube made of soft material with a pin), connected to a pressure device, and the excess fat is drained under this pressure. This procedure is called liposuction.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia. Its duration – from half an hour to several hours – all depends on the site of the body and the scale of the problem.
Laser Liposuction
Under the skin, again, cannulas are introduced, through which laser radiation is transferred to the adipose tissue. Under its influence fatty tissue is destroyed, and its residues are removed by sucking. The application is limited, since the laser method can not be used on large areas of the body. In addition, there is a very high probability of skin burn.
Ultrasonic Liposuction (Cavitation Method)
Fat is destroyed by ultrasound. The method allows you to get rid of significant amounts of fatty deposits, but this requires a large number of procedures. In addition, the method is fraught with thermal damage to tissues. Dehydration is also possible. Cavitation is not performed in the genitalia, mammary glands, around the eyes, ears, joints.
Tumescent method of liposuction
Liposuction is carried out through the cannula, but, unlike the vacuum procedure, in this case there are a lot of them and they are very small. The operation is done under local anesthesia, due to which the postoperative period is somewhat shortened and the risk of edema and bruising is reduced.
Radiofrequency liposuction or RF fat removal
Recently, the radio frequency method, or RF liposuction, is gaining popularity. It is also called non-surgical liposuction, but it is rather a marketing move. The radio frequency method is not liposuction in full, it is rather a deep lifting -RF lifting.
