Tumescent liposuction palo alto

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. Commonly treated areas of the body include the abdomen, back, buttocks, cheeks, chin, hips, knees, neck, thighs and upper arms.

This procedure can be carried out in a hospital, surgical center, or office with the use of 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.

There are several more recent methods which can be performed alongside traditional liposuction, including Power-Assisted Liposuction, Tumescent Liposuction, and Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction. Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) involves the use of a reciprocating cannula. This means that the surgeon no longer has to manually manipulate the instrument. 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 become swollen and firm before being removed. Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction, also known as UAL, uses ultrasound energy. This liquefies the fat before it is removed.

After undergoing 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 will need to be postponed 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.
