Liposuction – An Overview Of The Procedure
Posted by Fat Loss Specialist on October 31st, 2010 filed in Weight Loss
In the modern age, image is vital. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of weight loss methods in existence but, for some people, surgery remains the only real option. Through the process of liposuction, fatty tissue is physically removed from a particular area of the body. This can be useful in patients whose weight remains stable but who are blighted with areas of fat which do not disappear in spite of exercise or changes to their diet. The procedure is straightforward and completely safe, as we’ll show.
The surgery itself is fairly simple and straightforward and tends to begin with the anesthetic. Liposuction can be performed under either local or general anesthetic depending on the patient and the areas of fatty tissue which need to be removed. A local anesthetic simply numbs the area being worked on while a general anesthetic will render you unconscious during the procedure. The anesthetic will be administered either through an injection or gas inhalation if a general anesthetic is used. You will feel little or no pain.
If you’ve had a general anesthetic, you’ll start to feel sleepy. If you only had a local anesthetic you’ll feel numb in the area where you’ve had the anesthetic. Sometimes the surgeon will need to inject some fluids before making the miniature incisions in the skin around the fatty area. The incisions tend to be less than a third of an inch in size, so you won’t have any scars or unsightly marks to bear following the operation. The healing process is very fast, too, and you’ll be amazed at the results.
Next comes the fat removal. The surgeon will insert a small vacuum tube (known as a cannula) into the incision and will ensure it reaches the deep fat layer which is being removed. He will break up the fat cells by manipulating the vacuum tube and will remove them using suction through the vacuum tube or an additional syringe. Naturally, blood and other matter will be extracted along with the fat cells so you will be given additional bodily fluids via an intravenous drip while this takes place.
Finally, the surgeon will usually use a few stitches to close the incision. Some doctors leave the incisions open – this is perfectly normal. In fact, this will reduce the amount of bruising and swelling you may experience following surgery. As the incisions are very small, you are unlikely to experience any problems. The process is quick, easy and relatively painless. You’ll be able to enjoy your new body image and the happiness it brings right away.
