Liposuction, known also as lipoplasty or suction lipectomy, is the surgical procedure meant to sculpt or recontour one or more parts of the body through the removal of localized fat deposits. The cheeks, chin, neck, upper arms, back, abdomen, hips, buttocks, knees, and thighs are all areas of the body which are commonly treated with liposuction.
This procedure can be carried out in a hospital, surgical center, or office with the patient under either local anesthesia, local anesthesia combined with sedation, regional anesthesia, or general anesthesia. Traditional liposuction involves the use of a narrow blunt-tipped tube called a cannula which is inserted into incisions and then pushed back and forth beneath the skin. The movement disrupts fat deposits which are then suctioned out.  Following the procedure, patients are typically able to return to their normal activities when they feel comfortable doing so, which can be anywhere from several days to several weeks, though more strenuous activities should be delayed for at least a month. Listed as follows are the risks and complications associated with liposuction: allergic drug reactions, anesthesia reactions, aspiration pneumonia, brain damage, blood clots, cardiac arrest, excessive blood loss, excessive fluid loss, focal skin necrosis (skin death), hematomas, hypothermia, infection, perforation injury, permanent nerve damage, permanent pigment (color) changes, post-liposuction syncope (fainting), pulmonary edema, pulmonary embolism, scarring, seizure, seromas, uneven skin, and unfavorable drug reactions. There are several newer methods which may be performed along with traditional liposuction, including Power-Assisted Liposuction, Tumescent Liposuction, and Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction. Power-Assisted Liposuction, also known as PAL, has done away with the manually manipulated cannula, using instead a reciprocating cannula. Tumescent Liposuction utilizes a large volume of fluid containing a local anesthetic and epinephrine which is injected into the fatty tissue, causing it to become swollen and firm before being removed. For Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL) the fat is liquefied using ultrasound energy before it is removed.  Our top cosmetic surgeons are sitting by ready to help you with liposuction Chicago.
