Pennsylvania ultrasonic liposuction picture

Liposuction, less commonly known as lipoplasty or suction lipectomy, is the surgical procedure aimed at sculpting or recontouring one or more parts of the body through the removal of localized fat deposits. The abdomen, back, buttocks, cheeks, chin, hips, knees, neck, thighs and upper arms are all commonly treated areas of the body.

This procedure can be performed in a hospital, surgical center, or office with the patient under either local anesthesia, local anesthesia combined with sedation, regional anesthesia, or general anesthesia. A narrow, blunt-tipped tube called a cannula is used for traditional liposuction. This instrument is inserted into incisions then pushed back and forth beneath the skin, targeting specific fat deposits which are then removed using suction.

There are several more recent methods which can 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 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.

After undergoing 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 will need to be postponed 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.
