POWER-ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction is almost always performed on an outpatient basis. Small discreetly placed incisions that will be barely perceptible when healed are utilized during the procedure. A “tumescent” type solution is infiltrated into the planned areas of liposuctions with a thin cannula. This solution aids in removal of the fat, numbs the area and markedly decreases bleeding, minimizing bruising and making it possible to safely remove larger volumes in a single procedure. Once the effects of the tumescent solution set in, the fat is gently removed with movement of a cannula within the fat layer.*
WILL I LOSE WEIGHT WITH LIPOSUCTION?
Liposuction is not a weight loss technique. It is best performed on patients who have worked on their shape but have nagging areas they want improved. Patients do, however, report that they see a significant change in how their clothes fit, requiring an “adjustment” down in their clothes at least one or two sizes. What a great combination; looking thinner, feeling better about yourself, and shopping for new clothes!*
WHAT ABOUT LIPOSELECTION AND LIPOSCULPTURE AND MAYBE OTHER “NEWER” TECHNIQUES I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT?
That is exactly what we have been talking about. Liposuctions is all about selecting the appropriate cells to remove so that we can sculpt your body to its more pleasing form. The single most important advance in the field of liposuctions has been the introduction of smaller cannula diameter, thereby decreasing the trauma to the tissues. This leads to less bruising and swelling and quicker recovery.*
