ALL ABOUT LIPOSUCTION
2
  • Our bodies are apt to be our autobiographies.



  • Frank Gillette Burgess

  • Liposuction is a technique that removes unwanted
    fat deposited in various parts of the body like
    neck, upper arms, abdomen, back, buttocks, hips,
    thighs, etc.
  • A small hollow metal tube known as cannula is
    used to suck the unwanted fat from the body

4
  • What does liposuction achieve?
  • Help contour ones body shape
  • Establishes normal proportions between various
    parts of the body

5
  • Types of Liposuction
  • Tumescent Liposuction
  • Ultrasonic Liposuction

6
  • How is Tumescent Liposuction done?
  • 3-4millimeters incision is made adjacent to the
    localized fat pocket
  • Liposuction fluid that consists of saline with
    medications is injected into fatty tissue
  • While the salt water distends the fatty layer,
    the medications numb the area and reduce the
    extent of bleeding
  • Liposuction is performed after all the required
    area is treated with this solution
  • The cannula is inserted through small skin
    incisions into the fatty tissues. The vacuum
    section of the cannula provides the suction
    needed to remove the fat

7
  • How is Ultrasonic liposuction done?
  • This is similar to tumescent liposuction, but the
    only difference is that it uses ultrasound energy
    to breakdown the fat.
  • Once the tumescent solution is injected into the
    fatty areas, an ultra sound probe is inserted and
    moved back and forth
  • Every area is treated multiple times with
    ultrasound energy to break down the fat

8
  • Recovery Period
  • Recovery time depends upon the area as well as
    degree of liposuction performed
  • It may take one day for minor liposuction and up
    to one week for extensive liposuction

9
  • Care after Liposuction.
  • Youll have to wear the compression garment for
    24hours a day except while showering for up to
    six weeks
  • Follow the specific instructions given by your
    plastic surgeon while showering
  • If you undergo extensive liposuction, you will
    have drains to reduce bruising. You need to take
    care of the drains as per your surgeons
    instruction.
