Liposuction 360

Archive for the ‘Tumescent Liposuction’ Category

Liposuction is still one of the best options when it comes to changing your body shape and removing large quantities of fat. Certain areas of the body especially areas where one has tried to lose fat through diet and exercise, but failed are candidates for liposuction. The most common areas requested are the stomach and the thigh area. The maximum that a surgeon can take from one area at a time is ten pounds of fat which in reality is absolutely amazing and still trumps any other weight loss procedure on the market.

Liposuction has been around since 1982 when it exploded onto the market creating a new dawn for cosmetic surgery. In its time it has been considered and is still considered a revolutionary procedure that changes the lives of the people receiving this procedure. Many people have gone into clinics all over the world feeling ugly and fat having emerged confident and slimmer. Liposuction allows the patient to boost their self esteem and confidence. There is still not a product or cosmetic procedure on the market that compares to lipo when it comes to the amount of fat that can be removed.

The tumescent liposuction technique used today can be done under local anesthetic allowing the surgeon more freedom and avoiding unnecessary risk or stress to the patient. Once the patient is prepared for surgery, the anesthesia is administered. A tube called a cannula is then inserted into the area that is to be drained of the fat and the procedure begins. The surgeon has many responsibilities to perform during the surgery which include deciding when the right amount of fat has been removed to avoid sagging skin and to make sure that the patient is in the least amount of pain and discomfort when they are undergoing and recuperating from the procedure.

On average people are allowed to return to work when they feel ready usually between 2 days and 2 weeks. It all comes down to where the procedure was done on the person’s body although the patient may be required to keep the bandages on for up to 4 weeks. The pain can be controlled by over the counter medication such as Tylenol or painkillers that are available with a prescription. The swelling and bruising can take up to a month to completely go away with traditional liposuction. However with tumescent liposuction, there is less bruising and swelling. It does take longer to heal than other fat removal procedures but the effect can be dramatic and longer lasting. The fat that has been removed is permanent and will not return unless you suddenly gain weight through either pregnancy or poor diet and exercise. The fat can redistribute to other areas that did not receive liposuction. It is always advisable that if you want to retain your new figure that you have to work at it by following a sensible and healthy diet as well as exercising regularly. This is the only sure fire way.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic
Surgery over 10.2 cosmetic procedures were performed in the
United States in 2008. The most frequently performed nonsurgical
procedure was Botox injections and the most popular surgical
procedure was breast augmentation.

“For the first time in the twelve years these statistics
have been collected, liposuction is a runner up in popularity to
breast augmentation. There is no doubt that this turnabout will
generate discussions in the medical community and the public at
large,” Alan Gold, MD, Aesthetic Society president,
reflected. “Changes in fashion, i.e. decolletage baring
styles, might be a factor behind this change.”

ASAPS, working with an independent research firm, compiled the
12-year national data for procedures performed 1997-2008. A paper-based
questionnaire was mailed to 16,000 Board-Certified physicians (6,000
Dermatologists, 6,000 Otolaryngologists, and 4,000 Plastic
Surgeons). A total of 894 completed and valid responses (461
Plastic Surgeons, 277 Dermatologists, and 156 Otolaryngologists)
were received in time for tabulation.

Final figures have been projected to reflect nationwide
statistics and are based exclusively on the Board-Certified
Plastic Surgeons; Otolaryngologists; and Dermatologists. The
findings have been aggregated and extrapolated to the known
population of 23,600 physicians who are Board Certified in these
specialties. Though the confidence intervals change by procedure,
depending on the grouping’s sample size and the response
variance, the overall survey portion of this research has a
standard error of +/- 3.21% at a 95% level of confidence.

Smart Lipo™ Laser was approved by the FDA in November, 2006. Smartlipo™ is a fiberoptic laser system, when inserted under the skin with the help of a tiny 1.0mm cannula, it melts the fat cells, tightens and tones the skin, and then liquefies the fat which is then removed completely out of the body with a tiny aspiration tube. Tightening and smoothing of the skin occurs on contact upon stimulating collagen growth. As the laser interacts with the epidermis, it causes the skin above to tighten and shrink in size, giving the treatment area a smooth, toned appearance. This procedure does not require any stitches, but only very tiny incisions that heal on their own. It is performed under local anesthesia while the patient is fully AWAKE. The procedure is minimally invasive and some discomfort is expected. Patients will be asked to wear support garments for 2-4 weeks depending on the specific need.

Smartlipo™ is excellent for small areas such as: under the chin, jowls, outer thighs, neck, underarms (wings), male breasts, inner thighs, bra fat, love handles, arms, etc. The time required for the procedure is 40 minutes to one hour.
