Liposuction

Liposuction - a method of vacuum removal of limited (local) accumulation of adipose tissue. Fat accumulations are due to constitutional localization and most frequently located on the torso, hips, buttocks, calves, in the knee and chin area. Adipose tissue is of two types - functional and reserve.
Functional subcutaneous adipose tissue is distributed evenly over the surface of the body and determines the characteristic is for male or female body shape. It is able to rapidly decrease with weight loss. Reserve adipose tissue is very slow going for weight loss, and there is a constant in certain areas, significantly worsening the profile of the body. Location adipose tissue is determined by genetic predisposition and gender. The volume of adipose tissue can be changed by reducing the weight of the body, but the outlines of the figure will stay the same. Thus, diet and exercise can change the value of deposits, but with little change the shape. Thus, the purpose of the operation is the re-establishment of normal proportions between parts of the body, improve its shape and appearance.

Liposuction may be recommended for people who have excess fat in certain areas of the body, but with normal weight and body shape, and elastic skin.

Age is not important, but it's worth noting that, due to loss of skin elasticity with age, the results of liposuction in the elderly are not the same as in younger patients with elastic skin. Liposuction is not recommended for people with circulatory diseases, especially varicose veins in the area of operation, diabetes, various lung diseases, as well as those who have recently had surgery on the human body, is scheduled for liposuction.

Liposuction helps in the presence of fatty deposits that violate the contours of the body in some places, with relatively normal development of adipose tissue (absence of obesity) and good skin elasticity.

In some cases, liposuction does not help

a total adiposity, with flabby and stretched skin, with violations of the figure, not associated with changes in adipose tissue (muscles, bones, abdominal organs, glands).

Possible limitations

When you remove the excess fat there covering their skin. The elasticity of the skin is individual in nature and usually decreases with age, as well as after the previous extension (if the man was a complete and thinner). In such cases, especially when removing large amounts of adipose tissue, the skin may appear to hang, which is considered a negative result. The absolute symmetry of right and left parts of the body, neither before nor after the operation. It is often surgery reduces these differences. Liposuction is not aimed at reducing body weight, which can be controlled with diet and exercise. Irregularities of the skin that existed before the operation, may also stay after it.

What is needed for a successful operation without any acute illness at the time of surgery (cold or other illness); 10 days before surgery should stop taking medications that contain aspirin; categorically prohibits smoking within 10 days before surgery and for 3-4 days after the operation, the night before should take a bath; operation is performed on an empty stomach

The operation

operation is performed under general as well as under local anesthesia, fat is removed through small holes (10-15 mm) in the skin with thin metallic catheter and a special suction, skin wound closed with stitches hidden cosmetic suture, and then glued up the plaster, after an operation to put on special compresses tights.

The postoperative period during the first 4-5 weeks may be a slight increase in body temperature, to prevent bruising and flabby skin should wear a compression garment continuously for the first 2-5 weeks and then another 1,5-2 months during the daytime to temporary complications include: violation of colors (black eye) and tissue edema in the operated areas, induration, reduction of sensitivity, limited mobility, general weakness.

Possible complications uneven skin in the treated area, bleeding (interstitial blood loss); infection.

With the extensive processing of the tissues inside of the thigh, may cause edema in the ankle joint, which may remain for several weeks. However, when properly perform liposuction technique described above complications are rare.

How much time is saved when you save the effect of operations on a constant weight liposuction effect remains forever. If the patient is gaining weight, then, as with any cosmetic surgery, the result is always worse. However, even in this case in the former fat new adipose tissue is delayed more evenly than before liposuction.
