If you are considering liposculpture
It's a pleasure to have you here on site Plastic Surgery and Dental Clinic, Czech Republic!
Liposculpture today is among the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures for men and women alike. A procedure designed to remove excess fat through a suctioning process.
Liposculpture is a cosmetic surgery operation which removes fat from many different sites on the human body. Areas affected can range from the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, to neck, backs of the arms and elsewhere.
If you considering having Liposculpture of the jaw and neck and skin here is becoming too wrinkled or sagging, the best alternative of Liposculpture is sometimes a combination of Liposculpture and laser resurfacing or chemical peel or facelift.
Liposculpture is also used to reduce breast size in men with large breasts (gynecomastia) or to remove fat tumors (lipomas) but it is most commonly used for cosmetic body shaping.
The tendency to accumulate fat in the abdomen may be inherited, and this fat is often especially resistant to diet and exercise. Although it is not a substitute for weight loss, Liposculpture is an effective way of changing the body's shape and contour.
The amount of fat removed varies by doctor, method, and patient, but the average amount is typically less than 10 pounds (5 kg). There are several factors that limit the amount of fat that can be safely removed in one session.
Ultimately, the operating physician and the patient make the decision about amount of removed fat. There are negative aspects to removing too much fat. Unusual "lumpiness" and/or "dents" in the skin can be seen in those patients "over-suctioned". The more fat removed the higher the surgical risk.
To be a good candidate for Liposculpture, you must have realistic expectations about what the procedure can do for you. It's important to understand that Liposculpture can enhance your appearance and self confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal or cause other people to treat you differently.
The best candidates for Liposculpture are normal-weight people with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas.
The Liposculpture candidate should be physically healthy, psychologically stable and realistic in your expectations. Your age is not a major consideration; however, older patients may have diminished skin elasticity and may not achieve the same results as a younger patient with tighter skin.
You must be mentally and emotionally stable to undergo an cosmetic procedure. No surgeon would agree to work on a mentally/emotionally unstable person. Not out of discrimination, but for reasons which may trigger a deeper depression or possessiveness during the healing process.
The Liposculpture requires patience and stability in dealing with the healing period. Depression is already a common issue after Liposculpture for emotionally healthy patients so I am sure you will understand that if you do have a history of depression that you should get the approval of your physician before undergoing a procedure.
Liposculpture carries greater risk for individuals with medical problems such as diabetes, significant heart or lung disease, poor blood circulation, or those who have recently had surgery near the area to be contoured.
In your initial consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your health, determine where your fat deposits lie and assess the condition of your skin.
Your surgeon will explain the body-contouring methods that may be most appropriate for you. For example, if you believe you want Liposculpture in the abdominal area, you may learn that an abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck" may more effectively meet your goals.
Various types of anesthesia can be used for Liposculpture procedures. Together, you and your surgeon will select the type of anesthesia that provides the most safe and effective level of comfort for your surgery.
If only a small amount of fat and a limited number of body sites are involved, Liposculpture can be performed under local anesthesia, which numbs only the affected areas.
If you prefer, the local is usually used along with intravenous sedation to keep you more relaxed during the procedure. Regional anesthesia can be a good choice for more extensive procedures.
Some patients prefer general anesthesia, particularly if a large volume of fat is being removed. If this is the case, a nurse anesthetist or anesthesiologist will be called in to make sure you are completely asleep during the procedure.
The time required to perform Liposculpture may vary considerably, depending on the size of the area, the amount of fat being removed, the type of anesthesia and the technique used.
Through a tiny incision, a narrow tube or cannula is inserted and used to vacuum the fat layer that lies deep beneath the skin. The cannula is pushed then pulled through the fat layer, breaking up the fat cells and suctioning them out.
The suction action is provided by a vacuum pump or a large syringe, depending on the surgeon's preference. If many sites are being treated, your surgeon will then move on to the next area, working to keep the incisions as inconspicuous as possible.
During the Liposculpture operation your plastic surgeon will make a cut in your skin and insert a thin metal tube called a cannula. The cannula is moved around and fat is sucked out using a vacuum pump or syringe. For larger areas, more than one cut may be used to reach all the fatty deposits that are being treated.
Fluid is lost along with the fat, and it's crucial that this fluid be replaced during the procedure to prevent shock. For this reason, patients need to be carefully monitored and receive intravenous fluids during and immediately after surgery.
After Liposculpture procedure, you will likely experience some fluid drainage from the incisions. Occasionally, a small drainage tube may be inserted beneath the skin for a couple of days to prevent fluid build-up.
To control swelling and to help your skin better fit its new contours after Liposculpture procedure, you may be fitted with a snug elastic garment to wear over the treated area for a few weeks. Your doctor may also prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection.
Don't expect to look or feel great right after Liposculpture procedure. Even though the newer techniques are believed to reduce some post-operative discomforts, you may still experience some pain, burning, swelling, bleeding and temporary numbness.
It is normal to feel a bit anxious or depressed in the days or weeks following Liposculpture procedure. However, this feeling will subside as you begin to look and feel better.
Healing is a gradual process. Your surgeon will probably tell you to start walking around as soon as possible to reduce swelling and to help prevent blood clots from forming in your legs.
You will begin to feel better after about a week or two and you should be back at work within a few days following your surgery. The stitches are removed or dissolve on their own within the first week to 10 days.
Activity that is more strenuous should be avoided for about a month as your body continues to heal. Although most of the bruising and swelling usually disappears within three weeks, some swelling may remain for six months or more.
You will see a noticeable difference in the shape of your body quite soon after surgery. However, improvement will become even more apparent after about four to six weeks, when most of the swelling has subsided. After about three months, any persistent mild swelling usually disappears and the final contour will be visible.
If your expectations are realistic, you will probably be very pleased with the results of your surgery. You may find that you are more comfortable in a wide variety of clothes and more at ease with your body. And, by eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise, you can help to maintain your new shape.
Liposculpture can change the shape of the body but it cannot improve cellulite or stretch marks. It is not intended for weight control and is not a substitute for regular physical activity and a healthy balanced diet.
