Liposuction (lipectomy) is one of the most popular surgical procedures for correcting of the body, which is often performed on an outpatient basis in Saint Louis.
The essence of the procedure is the vacuum removal of subcutaneous fat after its mechanical or ultrasonic destruction through micro incisions.
Indication for the operation:
– Excess local deposits of adipose tissue (“fat traps”) in the thighs, abdomen, legs at the level of the knee joints, on the back, the lateral surfaces of the chest;
– Treatment of obesity.
Contraindications:
- Arterial hypertension;
- Atherosclerosis;
- Violation of the blood coagulation system;
- Diabetes;
- Pronounced impairment of kidney and liver function;
- Infectious processes;
- Period of menstruation;
- Loss of skin elasticity.
Features of anesthesia
Anesthesia and duration of operation
The procedure is performed mainly under general anesthesia, however, in case of correction of small areas, local anesthesia is also possible.
Duration is from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the volume of fat removed.
Liposuction for patients with normal body weight
With the problem of unaesthetic local fatty deposits, not only those suffering from overweight and obesity, but also people with normal body weight (BMI no more than 25) can face.
After liposuction with the removal of 4-8 lb of fat, the body weight of patients remains stable, provided that before the operation the weight of the patient was also stable, at least 1 year. Liposuction for patients with severe obesity
In patients with severe obesity, liposuction is part of the treatment in combination with other methods. In this case, the main thing is the removal of large volumes of adipose tissue and, as a result, a decrease in the total body weight.
Healing of chronic inflammation
In addition, measures to reduce body weight due to fat, contribute to the cure of chronic inflammation. According to the world literature, fat tissue produces mediators of inflammation, substances that support chronic inflammatory process. In each case, the choice of the type and amount of surgical intervention for each patient is individual.
Features of surgical tactics in liposuction
Through the almost unnoticeable micro incisions, the subcutaneous fat is easily removed using a thin cannula with a diameter of only 2-3 mm using vacuum suction. Low pressure avoids undesirable trauma to the skin and damages the surrounding vessels and nerves.
Safe amount of fat removed
The number of simultaneously treated zones can reach ten or more, and the volume of fat tissue to be removed is several liters. The safe amount of fat removed does not exceed 4% of the total body weight, however, according to the literature, remove up to 16-18% (22lb). The meaning of a larger liposuction is not aesthetic correction of individual defects in the silhouette, but a significant reduction in the total amount of subcutaneous fat, a decrease in body weight.
Removing large amounts of fat
Removal of large amounts (more than 1.32 gallon) is accompanied by significant blood loss (up to 30-40% of the volume of the removed fatty aspirate). Therefore, it is desirable to perform liposuction of several zones in one patient in stages.
Liposuction. Postoperative period
The length of stay in the hospital is 1-2 days under the supervision of the doctor on duty. Mandatory wearing of elastic (compression) underwear for 1-1.5 months after the procedure.
In the first day after surgery, soft tissue swelling, slight soreness in movement, subcutaneous hematomas. Rest and simple analgesics are sufficient to improve well-being.
The appearance of bruises and swelling is always inevitable. Hematomas persist up to 2-3 weeks. Bruises are individually given in terms of 2 to 4 weeks. Swelling occurs immediately after the procedure and can increase up to the third postoperative day. After the operation, care of the wound after the punctures, which are located in the natural folds of the skin, is necessary.
Shower and antiseptic treatment are a prerequisite for their good healing. For some time, the sensitivity of the skin is lost. The closest result will be visible after 1.5 months, and the final effect can be estimated in 4-6 months.
The key to the success of the operation
Qualification of the surgeon, his knowledge of the peculiarities of the technique of performing liposuction and their observance is the key to success.
The correct technique for performing liposuction will prevent possible postoperative complications.
In patients with severe obesity, the aesthetic result from liposuction will not be so pronounced. This group of patients is recommended first to achieve stabilization of body weight, and only then it is possible to conduct liposuction in combination with a plastic surgery – abdominoplasty.
Possible complications after liposuction
Complications of local character
Complications of a local nature, such as a sensitivity disorder, the formation of a gray or hematoma, usually pass independently or are amenable to correction.
Removing large amounts of fat
When removing large volumes – there is a risk of infection and necrosis of the skin.
Complications of early postoperative period
The most unfavorable complications of the early postoperative period include thromboembolism, with liposuction of large volumes – fat embolism, anemia, acute renal failure.
However, with a careful preoperative examination, planning of the volume of work, a reasonable choice of a clinic with the possibility of resuscitation, the proportion of such complications is minimal. All patients with suspicion of the above complications in the postoperative period are under round-the-clock monitoring of all vital indicators.
Long-term complications
Distant complications in rare cases have an aesthetic character – uneven contours, asymmetry, hyperpigmentation, flabbiness of the skin, rough scars. With meticulous accurate pedantic work of the surgeon, such complications are excluded.
Benefits of liposuction
The main advantage of liposuction is a lifetime result, as the fat cells in the treated area are completely destroyed, and subcutaneous fat at this place will not be postponed.
