What you should know before going for Liposuction Surgery
What is Liposuction Surgery?
Liposuction also referred to as lipoplasty, Lipectomy or simply Liposculpture suction is a medical cosmetic surgery that sucks and breaks up fat from the human body. Liposuction can also be described as a cosmetic procedure performed in order to remove unwanted body fat.
Liposuction permanently removes body fat cells, changing the shape of the body. The body areas upon which the procedure is performed include; Neckline and under the chin, Flanks, hips, inner knees, Chest, Buttocks, Back and abdomen.
IMPORTANCE OF CARRYING OUT LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction as an important procedure is carried out so as to treat certain conditions such as;
– Lipomas; this refers to the benign fatty tumours.
– Lipodystrophy syndrome; this occurs when fat accumulates in one part of the body and significantly lost in another.
– Gynecomastia; this is where fat accumulates under a man’s breast.
– Lymphedema; this is a chronic condition where excess lymph forms in tissues causing swelling. Lymphedema mainly occurs in the legs and arms. Liposuction reduces pain, discomfort, and swelling.
Both women and men do undergo liposuction every year for different goals, examples being, some patients usually seek high definition liposuction for 6pack abs, other patients seek to look good in swimsuits and others usually seek the procedure so as to fit comfortably in clothes. All in all, liposuction is carried out for many beneficial purposes.
TECHNIQUES UNDER WHICH LIPOSUCTION IS CARRIED OUT
1. SUCTION ASSISTED LIPECTOMY
Abbreviated as SAL. Suction-assisted lipectomy is a procedure which involves the removal of unwanted fatty deposits from specific body parts such as the face. The procedure involves a Surgeon making small incisions and then goes on to insert a cannula from which it is attached to a vacuum device which suctions out the fat.
2. POWER ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION
Abbreviated as the PAL. Power Assisted Liposuction is performed using a specialized cannula together with a medical mechanized system which moves rapidly back and forth enabling the surgeon to pull out fat from the body easily.
PAL removes fat from dense areas including the back and upper abdomen. The procedure enhances results and leads to a quick recovery. PAL features devices that allow the surgeons to precisely and thoroughly remove the fat. PAL can also be performed using the tumescent liposuction technique which involves the use of an anaesthetic liquid which is injected into the treatment area enabling smooth fat transfer through the cannula and freely flowing out of the body.
3. LASER ASSISTED LIPOLYSIS
Abbreviated as LAL. Laser Assisted Lipolysis is also referred to as Laser guided lipo. The procedure requires the surgeon to use a tumescent fluid. It involves the insertion of a microcannula through a small incision. The incision is made to channel laser energy and heat to the fat under the skin. After completion of the operation, the surgeon leaves incisions open so as to drain excess blood and fluid from the body.
