Liposuction

Everybody has certain areas of the body that do not look the way we want them to look. Some of these areas may be improved with healthy diet and exercise, but many of these areas will not be improved even if we put enough effort. Even people with normal or lower than needed weight have small areas of their bodies where fat accumulates and these fatty areas are resistant to persistent exercise and healthy eating. What should we do if we want to improve these imperfect body sites?

Facial appearance changes with time and age. Fatty deposits become apparent not only on the buttocks, thighs and abdomen but also on the jowls, under the chin and neck. This is due to gradual changes of aging and/or weight gain. The face, cheeks, under chin area become full and rounded causing some people lose their confidence and self-esteem.

There are various liposuction techniques used in plastic surgery today. Wet and super-wet techniques are one of the newest ones and have a lot of advantages. These two methods are very similar to each other.

Abdominal liposuction , in other words, lipoplasty or suction lipectomy, is a common surgical cosmetic procedure that helps to sculpt one's body by removing unwanted fat from the abdomen. It is one of the most popular plastic surgery in the United States of America. It is not, however, a substitute for diet and this surgery does not lower the body weight, it only removes fat that is resistant to diet or different forms of exercise.

Ultrasonic assisted liposuction (UAL) is a specific method of liposuction . This type of liposuction was firstly experimented in Europe and now it is very popular in the USA. “The results are wonderful”- says many well known lipoplasty professionals. This type of liposuction opened more possibilities for the plastic surgeons to remove high volumes of fat and make esthetic shape of the body. Basically, it opened more expectations for the overweight patients.

Tumescent liposuction is an alternative and new method of liposuction , allowing the surgery to be of reduced risk. When a tumescent liposuction technique is applied, only a very small amount of blood is lost, compared to the regular liposuction technique. This results in smaller risk for the need of a blood transfusion during surgery. It is a relatively new technique and not all specialists may perform it. Tumescent liposuction technique is proved to cause less pain, bruising and swelling after surgery, hence shortening the postoperative recovery period.

Women always wanted to look perfectly – they wanted to have beautiful face and good looking body. Women who had problems with weight, made up their mind to undergo the liposuction procedure, when the liposuction technique became available for society. The majority of them were satisfied with results. Liposuction was so popular that it achieved the distinction of being the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure! However liposuction is a very serious surgical procedure and may involve a painful recovery. Still many women and even man decide to undergo the liposuction.

Few people really have much of an idea of how much liposuction costs. If you decide to have liposuction performed, you will want to know precisely what you will pay for it. The cost of liposuction varies, depending on several factors. Usually, the liposuction cost per body area decreases if more than one body area is treated, since it is relatively easier and more efficient to treat one more area than it is to treat the first area. There is no concrete price set for liposuction, there are many types of liposuction and many different needs amongst liposuction patients. That’s why the price of liposuction surgery may very from case to case.

Liposuction is believed to give permanent results. It is applied on areas where unwanted fat is accumulated but is not easily lost. Women usually choose liposuction under their chin or in their breast area, thighs, under arms, stomach or buttocks.

After your liposuction surgery you may need someone‘s help at home. You will be recommended by your doctor to start walking around as soon as possible to decrease the swelling and help avoid blood clots from forming in your legs. Either the doctor removes the stitches or they dissolve on their own within 7 to 10 days.
