Shed that unwanted fat with liposuction or tumescent liposuction
In some cases, no matter how hard we exercise or how much
dieting we do, we still can't seem to shed those fat deposits on
are back, hips, thighs or abdomens. This is why more and more
people are turning to liposuction to help get rid of that
stubborn, excess fat. It is not intended to be a weight loss
procedure but rather a cosmetic treatment to help people look
and feel better about themselves. Liposuction is a process to
remove excess fat deposits that cause lumps and bulges. A thin
suction tube is inserted into the body through a very small
incision. The tube literally vacuums fat out of the body in the
desired areas. Tumescent liposuction, a relatively new procedure
is growing in popularity as I will explain why in more detail.
The most popular area of the body that both men and women seek
the removing of fat deposits includes the chin, hips, abdomen,
thighs, lower legs and knees. Men also request treatment on
enlarged male breasts because of the embarrassment they can
create. There are many different forms of liposuction available
but one stands out more than the others. Tumescent liposuction
is a procedure that uses natural saline solution, a diluted
local anesthetic as well as adrenaline. This solution is
dispersed into the fat deposit. The area is locally anesthetized
with an injection, therefore, a general anesthesia is not
required. Patient recovery is often quicker since the patient is
awake during the entire procedure.
With tumescent liposuction, a smaller tube is used to remove the
fat which helps reduce the amount of bleeding and bruising. Most
patients are able to return to their regular routine within a
few days but of course, some require a longer recovery period.
The best liposuction results come with a smaller tube. Although
it takes longer to treat a patient, the smaller vacuum tube
leaves smaller and narrower ridges and that translates into
smoother looking skin. The important thing to do if you are
considering this type of procedure is to speak to your doctor
first. Make sure to use a certified plastic surgeon and always
complete your due diligence before proceeding.
