5 Important Points About Liposuction

Our modern lifestyle with long work hours, commuting, lack of time and ready made meals is changing our body shape and not for the better. The great news is that liposuction can help with reducing some of the unsightly areas of your body.
Men and women get fatter in different parts of the body. Men tend to get a big stomach while women put on fat typically round the hips and thighs. The good news is that liposuction can easily get rid of some of your fat.
Unfortunately, liposuction is not a panacea to all your weight problems. In combination with a good diet and exercise it works well.
Liposuction? Tell me more
When you have liposuction fat is removed from your body. It is possible for most bits of your body to be liposuctioned but your tummy, thighs, back, neck and knees are the commonest areas.
Thousands of people have liposuction each year with great results but you cannot have all your fat removed at once. This would severely stress your body with probable heavy blood loss, the development of shock and a stay in intensive care.
This is clearly not the result you want so there is a weight limit of how much fat is removed. However modern surgical techniques are improving all the time so when you see your surgeon he or she will go into more detail about this and what your options are.
Is a night in hospital needed?
Overnight stays are getting less common as procedures improve. Other cosmetic procedures performed at the same time as liposuction may need an overnight stay.
Will I be asleep?
More and more liposuction is being carried out with local anesthetic and light sedation. This combination means you are pain free during the procedure and sleepy but able to talk if needed. Best of all you probably will not remember anything until after its all over.
Liposuction - a safe procedure?
Liposuction is very safe. Although it is major surgery with properly trained surgeons and nurses there are not many serious problems afterwards. The key is to use a fully trained cosmetic or plastic surgeon with a professional attitude and practice.
Can I undergo multiple liposuction operations?
Liposuction can be carried out several times especially on different areas of the body. You would need time to fully heal from one surgery before the next. Have a talk with your cosmetic surgeon and he or she will be able to give you a timescale, but it is better to avoid repeat operations.
For the very good reason that it works, liposuction is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery operations. In the right hands it is the answer to all those areas where the fat just will not go.

How to Have a Fabulous Figure for Life

Have you thrown your New Years resolution out the window? Cheated on your diet or stopped exercising? Dreading getting into a bathing suit this summer because your rear end is too fat, too small, too droopy or dimply? We all know that doing tons of lunges or squats will firm up our fanny, but just thinking about it gives us a headache. There is a plastic surgery procedure that is fast, easy and less invasive than implant surgery. The Brazilian Butt lift is a plastic surgery procedure that harvests fat by liposuction from your hips, legs, abdomen and waist and transfers it to your rear end.
The surgeon will transfer the fat into your buttock to make it more prominent. An added plus to the Brazilian Butt lift; not only will get you a shapely rear end, you may get a total leaner shape that gives you a hour-glass figure.
Before the suctioned fat is transferred, it is processed and purified so only the live fat cells are injected into your buttock. The surgeon will inject the fat into different areas of your buttock at various depths. To get a even, smooth and more natural appearance it is necessary to use correct injection techniques.
Some known complications may include irregular, asymmetric skin, numbness, bruising and swelling from the liposuction site. Some patients leak significant fluid from the incision. As with collagen injections, your doctor may overfill to allow for some fat re-absorption back into your body. This overfilling may temporarily make your buttocks look puffy or swollen. Unlike a lift that uses implants; fat injections do not have the risk of an allergic reaction, since it comes from your own body.
The results should be long lasting if the fat is collected, processed and injected correctly. It is not necessary to have touch ups or a second round of fat injections. Please talk to your surgeon prior to surgery and make sure you are at a desired weight and maintaining that weight with a healthy diet. Since fat is fat, a lot of weight loss will decrease some of the fat in your buttock.
The Brazilian Butt lift result is highly dependent upon the skill of the surgeon. Surgeons who are not using correct purification or injection methods will not obtain long lasting results. Be sure that your surgeon is qualified and experienced in this procedure!
So long to a droopy, dimply, too big or too small! The Brazilian Butt lift will give you that fabulous figure you always wanted…just in time for summer!
vaser lipo the latest and safest fat removal procedure
February 13, 2009 by Dr. Ian Jones
Filed under Weight Loss
Selston cosmetic clinic near Nottingham, has recently introduced a new and safer method for removing unwanted body fat, called vaser lipo. It achieves outstanding results becasuse it only works on fatty cells in the body and has no effect on healthy veins and other body tissues.
By using this approach the results are far smoother than more traditional liposuction techniques and result in far less swelling and bruising. As a result, recovery times are shorter. The area women usually request work on are abdomens, hips and inner thighs. Men usually request work on reducing unsightly breasts.
The approach allows medical people to use greater precision in their surgery and achieve delicate restructuring not otherwise achievable. The fast is melted or disssolved and then remvong it ueinsg cannulas. This allows surgeons to be more selective than liposuction methods, and offers faster patient recovery.
The patented Vaser Lipo Liposelection technology efficiently breaks up fat with diffuse ultrasound energy. The energy is delivered using small, solid, grooved probes. The liquefied fat is then removed with suction and massage using tiny cannalue designed to give minimal tissue trauma.
Vaser ultrasound energy dissolves the fat cells and simply bounces of other structures such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue, which are left undisturbed. Vaser lipo is performed under local anaesthesia and is called tumescent liposuction.
In summary: Results are immediate. There is minor swelling for approximately a week. As the swelling subsides the results continue to improve for up to six months as collagen grows and tightens the skin. A Friday procedure will typically have a patient back to work and play by Monday. Patients can participate in light exercise later the same day.
In an independent published study, patients undergoing the procedure experienced no complications such as altered skin sensation, seroma, skin induration, skin necrosis, prolonged swelling or skin burns compared with other procedures.
So the choice of method does depend on how much fat the patient wants removed and vaser lipo can extract more in one procedure. However there is a limit to the volume that can be extracted.
