Liposuction
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is known as lipoplasty, liposculpture suction, lipectomy is a surgery that breaks up and “sucks” fat from the body. It is done to eliminate fat from the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, neck, chin, calves and back. This process involves the removal of fat through a hollow instrument called a cannula. Cannula is inserted under the skin. A powerful and high-pressure vacuum is attached to the cannula which removes undesirable deposits of body fat in specific parts of the body. It leads to the permanent removal of fat cells from the body. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial; otherwise, it can cause fat cells to grow bigger.
Types Of Liposuction
In recent years, advancement in technology has made lipoplasty safer, easier and less painful. Its types are:
1. Tumescent liposuction:
The process of tumescent liposuction includes using local anaesthesia to numb the area of the body where the tube is inserted. The anaesthetic solution includes lidocaine and epinephrine, which is inserted into the fatty tissue before liposuction is done.
2. Ultra-sound-assisted Liposuction:
This process uses ultrasound to liquefy the fat. This makes the process of fat removal easier. Ultra-sound-assisted is particularly helpful for removing fat from the neck, upper abdomen, neck, back and sides.
3. Laser-assisted Liposuction:
Low-energy waves are used to liquefy the fat in the body. This process of fat removal is done with the help of a cannula.
Who should opt for Liposuction?
It is particularly fit for people who are intending to reshape one or more areas of the body. It is not for removing body fat or getting rid of cellulite. It is also ideal for people who want to treat medical conditions including benign fatty tumors also known as lipomas. It is ideally suitable for people with male breasts; people with problems with the metabolism of fat in the body, excessive sweating in the armpit area.
