Colorado liposuction

Liposuction, known also as lipoplasty or suction lipectomy, is the surgical procedure intended 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.

Risks, rates, information, news, and Colorado liposuction

This procedure can be performed in a hospital, surgical center, or office by means of 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.

There are a few more recent techniques which can be combined 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 makes use of a large volume of fluid containing a local anesthetic and epinephrine which is injected into the fatty tissue, allowing it to become swollen and firm before being removed. Ultrasound energy is used in Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL) to liquefy the fat before removing it.

After having the 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 refrained from for at least a month. The following is a list of known liposuction-associated risks and complications: 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.
