Though people dont have the detailed information still liposuction is considered as the most admired plastic surgery in the UK. This factsheet is for people who are considering cosmetic surgery. Introduction Liposuction is a plastic surgery operation to develop your body shape by taking away undesired fat from areas of hips, thighs and Liposuction is a surgery to eliminate fat from areas of your body, such as the upper thighs or abdomen. Advantages of liposuction Liposuction is not a treatment for weight control or obesity. According to consultant cosmetic surgeon Adrian Richards, liposuction is a surgical process that vacuums fat deposits from under the skin which is impossible with diet and exercise. Its also important to realize that it not only cant remove cellulite, it may even make it worse. How it is carried out? This plastic surgery method is generally done under general anesthesia. Initially your surgeon may draw on your body to mark the areas for liposuction In a liposuction operation you make a number of small cuts in the skin, comments consultant plastic surgeon Simon Withey. You then introduce a fluid containing local anaesthetic and adrenaline into these this fluid helps make it easier to extract the fat, but is also designed to improve healing. This also helps reduce bleeding, bruising and puffiness. After the fluid is inserted, a thin metal tube called a cannula is being introduced. This will be attached to a vacuum pump or a syringe and will be moved about vigorously within the fatty tissue to suck out the fat and the fluid. This used to be quite a severe process, with the surgeon applying the cannula to physically churn things up. Now surgeons have thinner cannulas, which are less destructive, and can also use ones that emit ultrasound waves (known as ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty) to release fat from the cells. What is the cost of liposuction? For major liposuction you will have to spend around 6,000. Recovery time Liposuction makes you feel like youve be bruised and in ache for at least two days following surgery, says Adrian Richards. After this, exactly how long itll take to recuperate depends on how much fat has been taken out and where its come from. Youll probably be up and about in a few days, but from seven to 10 days off work are suggested. Youll be bruised for up to a month after ultrasonic liposuction treatment and youll have to wear a support garment day and night for two to three weeks to minimize postoperative swelling. The liposuction recuperation time is a gradual process and the patient need to wait for about 6 months to experience the sense of freedom that comes from looking good and feeling wonderful. The cuts made on the skin will develop in to tiny spots of scars. What can go awry? As in any surgical procedure, there are adverse effects of this procedure also. Some complexities can develop such as risks of infection and deep vein thrombosis but major harms look uncommon. There was a headline "Death by Liposuction" on the cover of a major newsweekly recently, but such unfortunate chances are highly rare. It is found that most of the patients complain about its imperfect results and doubts associated with the surgery. One out of ten surgeries needs to be redone and about 40% required to go for an improvement due to dissatisfaction with the results of liposuction. Liposuction surgery doesnt remove cellulite since the fat is eliminated from deep in the body, whereas cellulite is created by fat just below the skin. In fact, it can cause cellulite look worse as its more noticeable when youre thinner. If pregnancy, weight gain, old age or skin type is the cause of looseness of your skin, lipo surgery can only make it more saggy and uneven. How long does it last? The outcomes of liposuction are generally permanent with a balanced diet and exercise. Liposuction does not ensure that you wont regain some fat. You should abide by a reasonable diet and be sure to workout in order to maintain new shape of your body and control weight-gain. |
