The method consists in a hardware suction, aspiration of excess fat from certain parts of the body (lipos – fat, suction).
Most clients for liposuction are women who need to remove fat deposits from problem areas on the hips, abdomen, buttocks. But men sometimes resort to this method to remove fat from the abdomen, chest and back.
In some cases, liposuction in Sioux Falls is carried out on the shoulder girdle, on the neck and on the chin. A total of about 25 zones are allocated on the body for aspiration of fat.
Much erroneously consider this method to bariatric operations. However, liposuction is not intended to combat obesity.
Moreover, high values of BMI (body mass index) are a contraindication to this intervention.
Rather, it is a cosmetology operation to improve the appearance. In some cases, the procedure can be carried out at normal body weight, but with an incorrect distribution of fat.
Excess fatty tissue can provoke type II diabetes. And although diabetes mellitus serves as a contraindication to this intervention, fat removal will certainly reduce the likelihood of this disease.
The technique of liposuction in Sioux Falls
In addition to obesity and diabetes, there are a number of other contraindications from the cardiovascular system, blood clotting, and metabolism.
Liposuction is prohibited for pregnant and lactating children, with any acute inflammatory processes, for all who suffer from tuberculosis, malignant neoplasms and mental disorders.
Therefore, before the operation, the patient undergoes all necessary studies, he is examined by the doctors. 10 days before the procedure for fat removal, it is necessary to exclude the intake of alcohol, drugs, smoking.
Another important point. After removing fat, you will need to wear compression underwear, the kind of which (bandage, corset, stockings) depends on which part of the fat is removed.
In order to maximize the result of liposuction, and there were no complications, it is recommended to start wearing clothes already 7-10 days before the intervention.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, an action that can be supplemented with psychotropic drugs. However, there is no need for deep anesthesia in this case. Currently, tumescent liposuction is most often performed.
Incisions not more than 0.5 cm long are made in the required areas. Through these incisions, a drug mixture containing saline, adrenaline, local anesthetics and antibiotics is administered. Under the action of this mixture, the fat cells are destroyed, and the fat becomes an emulsion.
Further, an emulsion comprising fat dissolved in the drug mixture is aspirated through micro-cannulas. The duration of the operation, as well as the volume of the removed fat, can be different – it all depends on the operated area and the amount of fatty deposits in it.
In a number of cases it is possible to aspirate up to 2.64 gallons of emulsion, a significant part of which falls on the drugs administered.
Removing large amounts of fat is sometimes accompanied by sagging of the skin. In these cases, the excess skin is removed, and the wound is sutured with cosmetic sutures. Recently, new methods of fat removal have been developed using laser, ultrasound, and high-frequency radio waves instead of drugs.
Postoperative period
In the first days after surgery, bruising, pain, and bloody discharge are possible in the wound area. All this quickly disappears. In the absence of complications, the sutures are removed after 1 week.
During 1 month, physical exertion, prolonged exposure to the sun, visiting saunas, baths are undesirable. Compression underwear is recommended to be worn for 1-2 months, until the contours of the body are finally formed. Completely evaluate the results can be only 3 months after liposuction.
Complications after the intervention include allergy to injectable drugs, long-term insoluble hematomas, scars, purulent necrotic processes on the skin due to infection.
In a number of cases, after aspiration, the fat that remains under the skin is distributed unevenly, with bumps so-called the effect of the washing board, the elimination of which requires a second operation.
But with the observance of technology and high qualification of the surgeon, the probability of these complications is zero. With a sedentary lifestyle and malnutrition with an excess of calories, fat accumulation returns again. It does not depend on the doctor, but depends on the patient.
