Liposuction

Liposuction, also known as fat reduction surgery, is a medical procedure that can help reshape the body by removing stubborn fat that cannot be removed by the usual methods. Liposuction should not be considered as an alternative to a balanced diet and physical exercise, but should be considered as an alternative that can compliment a diet and exercise regime.

The most typical areas of the body that can be treated by liposuction are:

• Stomach (or abdomen) liposuction
• Inner and outer thighs liposuction
• Hips liposuction
• Chin liposuction
• Arms liposuction
• Knees liposuction

Liposuction can be used in combination with other types of plastic surgery procedures such as the Tummy tuck, Breast reduction or the Male breast reduction.

LIPOSUCTION SURGERY

Liposuction or Lipoplasty, can be performed under a local or general anasthetic, depending upon the area of the body being treated and the quantity of fat being removed. These two factors also determine the length of time of the liposuction which usually lasts 1 to 2 hours.

The actual liposuction surgery starts by the surgeon making a small incision into the area to be treated, after that a canula (small plastic tube) is inserted through the incision and the process of breaking up the fat cells and the fat removal begins.

The extraction of the fat is provided by a vacuum device. Depending upon the surgeon's perference or the area of the body being treated, a large syringe may be used instead of a canula.

Any fluid that is lost during the liposuction surgery will be replenished intravenously throughout and immediately following the surgery.

TYPES OF LIPOSUCTION

Water Jet Lipo

Water Jet Lipo, also called Body Jet Lipo, uses water pressure to remove unwanted body fat. It uses a high pressure stream of fluid to infuse the fat deposits under the skin and prepare it for a gentle removal. It is minimally invasive type of liposuction delivering excellent results in body contouring and a long lasting effect. Water Jet Lipo technique uses less force, causes less bruising and swelling and therefore results in faster healing.

Vaser Lipo

Vaser Lipo stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance, other words ultrasound. This method is using ultrasonic waves to break up fat beneath the skin, turning it into liquid and then remove it by suction. At first a mix of saline solution and anesthetic or a tumescent solution is injected into the area of the area of the body being treated, then a high-frequency ultrasound vibrations break up the fat cells. After that a small cannula is inserted to remove the emulsified fat cells and liquid. This is one of the less invasive methods of liposuction, consequently minimizes the risk of damaging blood vessels, nerves and surrounding tissue.

Tumescent Lipo

Tumescent Lipo is gentle and effective method of Liposuction where at first a solution containing anesthetic and capillary shrinking drug is injected into the fat that causes the blood vessels to shrink and relieves pain. The fat is then removed by suction. The word tumescent means swollen and firm and that is exactly what happens to the area being treated with this technique. Due to the drugs used in the injected solution, this method of Liposuction is considered least painful with minimal bleeding and bruising, outstanding results and lesser recovery period.

Slim Lipo

Slim Lipo is a technique that combines liposuction with laser treatment. Slim Lipo laser is a very small probe specially designed to target just the fat cells, so the nerve tissue and muscle is protected. It uses wavelengths to melt the fat and the heat tightens the skin of the area being treated. Because the probe is much smaller than the cannula used in other methods, the incisions are smaller resulting in minimal scaring.
