In general, liposuction is to suck the parts of the fat cells from the problem zone. For this purpose, fat cells are damaged in one way or another and sucks with special tools. Then, after the rehabilitation period, the skin is selected, swelling goes, and a figure with a new circuit is obtained - if there is no complications.
The method itself is designed to remove fat from the so-called «Fat traps» - zones where fat accumulates in such a way that it is practically unable to remove with physical exercises and diets - and as a result for modeling general contours of the figure. Generally accepted zones of liposuction are the zone "Galifa" - the outer surface of the hips, belly, knees, back, shoulders, hands (top), face. Other options are possible, in terms of the situation.
There are also I «Tuba zones» - places where liposuction is not made due to low efficiency and high risk of complications. These include the shin, forearm, the front surface of the hips. The surgeon may refuse liposuction and other parts if it believes that serious complications are possible, or simply for one reason or another does not want to take into a specific case.
Indications
Since liposuction refers to plastic surgery, there is no unconditional reading. The main thing is the customer's desire. True, if specifically, this procedure does not help you, in high-quality clinics you will be prevented. But, unfortunately, our site can not not be noted the fact that all doctors are so honest, because the operation is quite expensive.
Deciding on liposuction, it is necessary to take into account that it is not a means of obesity, it is impossible to make liposuction "of the whole body". During the problems of this kind, it is better to turn to the endocrinologist.
Liposuction is best suited for removing local fat clusters, the formation of which is associated with the constitution and human heredity.
With stretched muscles (for example, tensile the abdominal wall) liposuction also does not cope. Here you need other methods - sport or plastic abdominal wall (with muscle suspenders).
Contraindications
First of all, our site will make an important refinement: Liposuction is not a cosmetic procedure, namely the operation, in most cases under general anesthesia. Therefore, all contraindications for surgical interventions, such as pregnancy, aggravation of chronic diseases, oncology, sharp chronic diseases, Mental diseases, also belong to liposuction.
The next block is associated with the features of the operation. After all, fat is not only an inert substance, spanning contours of the figure, but also the energy reserve. Also he produces some hormones. Thus, the pumping part of the fat is a large stress for the body from a hormonal and energy point of view - therefore, in endocrine diseases, liposuction should be treated with increased caution. Not to mention the fact that there is a possibility that part of the fat will fall into the bloodstream and will be excreted by the liver. Therefore, liposuction can not be done in diseases of the liver or cardiovascular system.
Possible complications
The safor of the possible complications is fatal outcome. Sometimes this happens because of the body's reaction to the stress by exacerbation of chronic disease (stomach ulcers, for example), which the patient warned the doctor. It is also possible to block the vessels with fat slices, non-timely seen swelling of the lungs (caused by the reaction to the auxiliary solution or in a slight piece of fat), complications associated with anesthesia, damage to the internal organs due to the negligence of the surgeon or non-standard placement of their accommodation in this particular patient. Such cases, fortunately, are not too frequent (about 3% on average), but still happen.
A more frequent complication after liposuction is the skin of the skin due to uneven fat pumping or improper behavior of the patient at a rehabilitation period (too fast return to the familiar lifestyle, inappropriate compression lingerie and T.D.). Fix it is not always possible, and then with re-liposuction.
Also during the rehabilitation period, infection of the operated zone may occur, or scars arise due to skin offset.
Many after liposuction occur also psychological complications. The fact is that people with plastic surgery are often trying to solve psychological problems - reduced self-esteem, shyness, fear, self-satisfaction, relationships with opposite sex and t.D. But only an external form changes. The essence, which means the problem, do not go anywhere. Deceived expectations - already quite unpleasant, but this is not the worst. As you know, the appearance of man (if he did not use the services of a plastic surgeon) to some extent reflects its inner world. And it is on the people of the relevant appearance that those who are looking for dating and communication is built on the basis of what they see. Thus, it seems that people do not communicate with you - and with your new body. Of course, it happens not with all.
How to choose a clinic
First of all, attention should be paid to paper: surgeon diplomas, licenses for this type of activity. It would be nice to see the doctor's portfolio - pictures before and after its operations. Special attention to pay cases similar to your, or at least similar zones. Remember that you choose not only the clinic, but also a particular specialist - because the result depends on his skills.
It would be nice to familiarize yourself with the conditions of the hospital - at least one night after the operation you have to spend in the walls of the clinic under the supervision of staff. Ask for the presence of resuscitation equipment and blood of your group. During the operation, a situation may occur when it all needs. Again, the likelihood of low, it is better, of course, so that such a need does not arise at all, but it will not hurt to progress.
In a good clinic during the primary consultation you will not be inclined to liposuction on those parts of the body where you originally did not plan it. Adequately respond to your desire to think more or consult from another specialist. Let's get acquainted with samples of work. Will definitely ask about allergies to medical drugs.
But still the main criterion remains your intuition. If you didn't like something - it's better to think again. In the end, liposuction does not apply to urgent operations.
Methods and equipment operations
General scheme. Initially, the surgeon marks zones for liposuction and places of alleged punctures. Then the patient receives anesthesia - a common or local, depending on the type and scale of the operation. From the point of view of the doctor, general anesthesia is preferable, because the operation is sufficiently long (from half an hour to 2-3 hours), and little patient is able to do not interfere with the doctor. Also, the problem zone is powered by a special solution, if it is provided by the method.Then the fat cells are actually destroyed and sucks and seams are superimposed. Right on the table, the patient is packaged in compression linen (so far the anesthesia is still valid).
Consider more different liposuction methods.
Vacuum dry (traditional) liposuction
Vacuum dry (traditional) Liposuction is the oldest method, now almost does not apply. The surgeon introduces a special corrugated cannula (tube) into incision, and its movements destroys fat cells, sucking them with a vacuum pump. Vacuum liposuction is considered the most traumatic for the patient. In particular, blood loss with this method is significantly higher than at any other. Its only advantage - the results of the surgeon can evaluate during the work (later they will not be seen due to edema). Therefore, this method is still sometimes found in the "syringe" modification for the processing of small zones, where the increased accuracy is needed - or when fixed failed liposuction. Usually this method sucks no more than 100-200 ml fat.
Vacuum wet liposuction - the same as dry, but the zone is pre-slipped by a local anesthetic.
Tenmency liposuction
With fumulous liposuction in the problem zone, a special klein solution is first introduced, usually consisting of saline, lidocaine and adrenaline (by volume approximately as much as fat is planned, sometimes more). The solution is enough anesthetic to do with local anesthesia if no more than two zones are operated on. The solution turns fat cells into a liquid emulsion that you can pump thin cannulas. At the same time, the vessels and nerves remain practically intact.
The fumulate liposuction is remarkable to minimal blood loss (among the methods known for today). But our site would like to draw your attention to the fact that it is quite difficult to pump too much fat with this method, because when the Klein solution is overdose (more precisely, the lidocaine contained in it) is possible unpleasant side effects. Normal is the volume of up to 3-4 liters.
Ultrasonic liposuction
With ultrasonic liposuction, fat fabrics are destroyed by directed ultrasonic waves of such a frequency so that more dense adjacent tissues remain intact. On the stomach, this method is trying not to apply, since there were cases when ultrasound passed through the abdominal wall and damaged internal organs. Our site would like to pay special attention to the fact that ultrasonic liposuction (on the stomach) is contraindicated to women who intend to give birth in the coming year. At the rest of the body, this method is carried out without problems (except zones «taboo», on which no method can not guarantee the result).
The pumping of the resulting emulsion is performed in the same way as with fumulous liposuction.
The advantages of ultrasonic liposuction include the fact that this method allows you to remove more fat (up to 6-8 liters) than vacuum or fumulous liposuction at the same load on the patient's body (from the point of view of the process itself) and the surgeon's hands. Also, when conducting ultrasonic liposuction, the skin is automatically tightened, which allows not so strictly monitor the amount of damp fat than with other methods.
Lipoelectromodelization (electric liposuction)
Using a special device generated a current of a certain frequency. At the same time, a fluid is supplied to the operation zone using a special needle, and then the resulting emulsion is suused. The needle and emitter are mounted on one handle as a kind of "plug", and the surgeon needs some experience for adequate work with this device. The small diameter of the needle also plays a role - the operation time is extended, but the processing accuracy increases.
Execiential liposuction
The same as the ultrasound, but the resulting emulsion is not sued, but absorbed into the bloodstream and is excreted by the liver. This method creates the highest burden on the body, so it is applied relatively rarely.
Training
To operation such as liposuction, need preliminary preparation. Doctors advise to quit smoking at least a couple of weeks before surgery (but in practice they do not particularly pay attention to this). Much more important than at least two weeks before the operation not to drink aspiri-containing medicines. Perhaps you personally have to give up from some kind of drugs - it is necessary to clarify the doctor in advance.
Also at this stage you should purchase compression linen - what kind of doctor will tell you. Buying compression lingerie, consider that in the first couple of days after liposuction, the remnants of liquids mixed with blood will be cooked through the seams - and naturally it will be all on underwear. And you wear it at least two weeks, but most likely about a month. If finance allows you to better have two sets so that you can wash.
It is perhaps the coordination of financial issues to the stage of preparation for the operation. The fact is that in most private clinics you need to pay for everything separately: that is, the cost of liposuction is the cost of the work of the surgeon. And for the ward, medicine, food and t.D. We'll have to pay separately. Better all this questions to settle before the operation - to avoid unpleasant moments.
Rehabilitation period
It is advisable to take care of the possibility of restoring after liposuction - it should not be assumed that the next day you can return to home duties or to work. To the operated zone will hurt to touch, and load the muscles in this place will not be at least a week. In most cases, this means that it is impossible to raise heavy or long to be on the legs. The appearance will also be not perfect - for a while, the operated part will be elapsed and swollen, and, perhaps, the neighboring parts of the body (for example, when operating on the knees often swell the ankles).
Immediately after liposuction, special compression linen will be put on you. Our site once again reminds that it will need to buy in advance (what kind of doctor will explain to you). It is necessary in order for the tissue when recovering it is the desired form. Its worn from two weeks to one and a half months - depending on the operation zone and the characteristics of your body.
In the first days, sharp edema is usually observed. Later he is absorbed (for a month and a half an average). At this time, sports, solarium, baths, saunas and physical exertion are not recommended. Later may be useful special massage.
