Just the facts on liposuction

 

The surgeon’s view of Miami liposuction. We’ll also bring to the table more information about arm liposuction, liposuction side effects, and liposuction aftercare.

Liposuction, also called lipoplasty or suction lipectomy, is the surgical procedure devised to sculpt or recontour one or more parts of the body through the removal of localized fat deposits. Areas of the body which are frequently treated with liposuction include the abdomen, back, buttocks, cheeks, chin, hips, knees, neck, thighs, and upper arms.

This procedure can be completed in a hospital, surgical center, or office using either local anesthesia, local anesthesia combined with sedation, regional anesthesia, or general anesthesia. The traditional form of liposuction begins with small incisions being made on the skin of the areas being treated. A narrow, blunt-tipped tube called a cannula is then inserted into the incisions. This instrument is then pushed back and forth beneath the skin in order to target and disrupt specific fat deposits which are then suctioned out.

Following surgery, 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 held off on for at least a month. The risks associated with liposuction may include the following: 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 techniques which may be combined with traditional liposuction, including Power-Assisted Liposuction, Tumescent Liposuction, and Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction. Power-Assisted Liposuction, or PAL, involves the use of a reciprocating cannula, rather than having it manually manipulated by the surgeon. Tumescent Liposuction entails the use of a large volume of fluid containing a local anesthetic and epinephrine which is injected into the fatty tissue, making it swollen and firm before being removed. Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction, or UAL, uses ultrasound energy to liquefy the fat before its removal.
