I have read about the dangers of full body liposuction, so I have decided against it and want to have it little by little. I would like to hear what it is like from people who have had it in several areas.
With all the improvements in liposuction technology and techniques that have evolved in the past thirty years or so, you can have liposuction done on pretty much any body area.
Originally, in the early 1980s, liposuction was done on the abdomen. To reduce bleeding and remove larger amounts of fat with less discomfort, tumescent liposuction was developed, where large volumes of fluid are first injected. The fluid is a saline solution (salty to match the body’s saltiness) with ingredients to shrink blood vessels and anesthetize the area. Then high-powered suction removed fluid and fat together.
That enabled people to have fatty tissue removed from much of the lower body:
· Abdomen
· Thighs
· Buttocks
· Flanks
A remaining problem was that some body areas have more fibrous fatty tissue which is harder to suction out. Examples are the back, chest and hips. In efforts to solve this problem, ultrasonic liposuction was developed in the early 1990s.
Ultrasound (vibration with sound beyond our hearing range) is used to break the fibrous cell membranes, emulsifying the fat before it is removed by suction. This approach has the added benefits of reduced bleeding and bruising, and smaller incisions because the cannulas used to remove fat are narrower. Ultrasound also helps the skin shrink over the reduced body area.
Ultrasonic liposuction is effectively used for both males and females in:
· Breast reduction
· Love handles
· Fat removal from the upper back
SmartLipo™
SmartLipo, also called laser liposuction, uses a laser to dissolve fat instead of suctioning it out of the body. This is a very different procedure from tumescent or ultrasonic liposuction, although the goal is the same. The targeted area is given local anesthetic and a very small incision is made. The laser is a hand-held device like a pen, inserted beneath the skin and moved so as to target the designated treatment areas. When the laser light is directed to fat cells, they break up instantly. The fatty fluid thus released is naturally excreted by the body’s lymphatic system.
As with all procedures using medical lasers, there is the added benefit that the laser seals the blood vessels, reducing bruising, and reducing bleeding to virtually none. It also tightens the skin’s collagen, causing the skin to shrink more tightly over the reduced body area. This is especially helpful on facial areas.
Because of the greater precision and subtlety of laser liposuction, smaller body areas can be treated, such as:
· Below the chin
· Face
· Knees
· Waist
· Neck
· Arms
All liposuction procedures are customized. If you are wondering about your own particular areas of excess fat and whether they can be treated with some form of liposuction, the first step would be to schedule a consultation with an experienced cosmetic surgeon.
If you are in the Indianapolis, Indiana area, you could not do better than to see Dr. Richard Linderman. He has been in the vanguard of liposuction improvements since 1982 and was the first cosmetic surgeon to offer liposuction in Indianapolis.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure performed by plastic surgeons and is used to remove fatty deposits from areas of the body which have not responded to attempts at weight loss and exercise.
While liposuction is never an alternative to losing weight or exercising, it can be a wonderful complement for areas for which weight loss and exercise have not corrected them to an acceptable level.
Liposuction can be performed on most anywhere on the human body where there are fat deposits. Let’s take a quick look at some of the most popular liposuction options available to you today:
Facial Liposuction
If you have a lot of fat around your eyes, in your cheeks or in your chin area, liposuction can be done to remove it. Oftentimes, liposuction is part of an eye lift or face lift. In addition it can be used to remove a double chin which has been caused by aging, especially in men.
Chest Liposuction
Liposuction procedures of the chest are commonly performed on men. Often men have excess fat on their chest area, especially as they age, which exercise and diet alone cannot remove.
Once a man is down to his ideal weight and is exercising regularly with a nice muscle build-up, liposuction can remove the excess fat and greatly improve the look of his chest area.
Abdominal Liposuction
Abdominal liposuction can be used to remove those stubborn fat deposits which cannot be worked off though abdominal exercises. Once a man or a woman has done all they can for the area through exercise and diet, a bit of liposuction can make a world of difference in how the abdominal area looks.
Back and Side Liposuction
One thing that comes with age is fat deposits on the back and sides of your body. While many areas of the body can be exercised well, the back and “love handle” areas are two which are had to control through exercise alone. Removal of love handles and back fat are two of the most popular liposuction procedures performed today.
Arm Liposuction
As we age, especially women, our upper arms can begin to become loose and floppy. Liposuction can help to reduce the fat in this area quiet well and extra procedures can assist in removing the excess skin of the area to being arms back to their youthful appearance of the past.
Buttocks Liposuction
Once the buttocks have been worked regularly through exercise, and your ideal weight has been reached through a proper diet, liposuction of the buttock region can be used to remove cellulite and other stubborn fat deposits.
Leg and Knee Liposuction
One of the most common places to have liposuction today is on the inner thighs and knees. Fat deposits on the inner thighs can be particularly stubborn and to really get a good contour on the body, liposuction can be used to remove that fat. In addition, as we age we often collect fat on our knee area. Liposuction can remove knee fat and help your legs to look much slimmer and better shaped.
As you can clearly see, liposuction can be performed on many areas of the human body. To decide if liposuction is right for you, schedule a consultation appointment with a Board Certified plastic surgeon in your area.
A new plastic surgery procedure is helping people flesh out better bodies. It’s a type of liposuction that takes fat from one part of the body and puts it into another. “We take fat from one portion of the body – the buttock, the legs, the tummy – and instead of throwing it away like we used to, we can use it in other parts of the body,” plastic surgeon Dr. David Broadway said. For one California woman, that meant a flat stomach and a fuller chest. (Source: WBZ-TV – Breaking News, Weather and Sports for Boston, Worcester and New Hampshire)
