price $1,359 Liposuction Plastic Surgery Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. During the past decade, liposuction, which is also known as "lipoplasty" or "suction lipectomy," has benefited from several new refinements. Today, a number of new techniques, including ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), the tumescent technique, and the super-wet technique, are helping many plastic surgeons to provide selected patients with more precise results and quicker recovery times. Although no type of liposuction is a substitute for dieting and exercise, liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that don't respond to traditional weight-loss methods. Package Includes:
LiposuctionLipoplasty, Liposculpture, and Just Plain Old Lipo ...What's the Difference?You may be surprised, and a little disappointed, to learn that these terms all refer to the same thing. As it turns out, some plastic surgeons created these terms (there are many more) to make their technique of liposuction sound better than their competitors'. In actuality, aside from the differences between standard (tumescent) liposuction and ultrasonic liposuction (explained below), liposuction, lipoplasty, liposculpture, lipectomy, and lipo all refer to basically the same procedure. Liposuction is Best Suited for those who…Are near their ideal body weight and are seeking reduction of specific areas of diet-resistant fat, such as the hips (love handles), outer thighs (saddle bags), abdomen, neck, inner thighs, knees, or arms. Those whose weight has been stable for at least 6 months do better with liposuction than those whose weight has been changing. Skin tone is also important. If you have good skin tone, your skin will retract (shrink wrap) after lipo. If you have poor tone with loose saggy skin or stretch marks, then your skin will not tighten and may in some cases look worse. Tumescent Vs. UltrasonicTumescent liposuction (also called standard liposuction or just plain liposuction) is the type of liposuction that has been performed in the United States since the mid 1970's. It involves filling the fat with tumescent fluid (tumescent fluid is saline with adrenaline and lidocaine - this makes the fat "stiff" and reduces bleeding and discomfort). Once the fat has been filled with tumescent fluid by the surgeon, it is then suctioned using long thin rods. The entire procedure can be performed through a few tiny incisions, which can be hidden with natural skin creases. Plastic surgeons unfortunately use many confusing names for tumescent liposuction. The best way to keep all these names straight is to know that unless the term "ultrasonic" is included in the name, your surgeon is talking about tumescent liposuction. Examples include: lipoplasty, liposculpture, liposculption, suction-assisted lipoplasty, and the list goes on. Ultrasonic liposuction is similar to tumescent lipo in that tumescent fluid is first infused to make your fat stiff. But then, instead of suctioning the fat, the plastic surgeon uses ultrasonic energy to liquefy the fat before it is removed. The ultrasonic energy is delivered directly to the fat via a long thin (1/4 inch diameter) rod that emits ultrasonic waves. This rod is inserted into your fat through a small incision. After your plastic surgeon moves the ultrasonic rod through your fat, she or he then suctions out the liquefied fat. Which is better: Tumescent or Ultrasonic Liposuction?Plastic surgeons are split over this issue. Those who claim that ultrasonic lipo is better argue that there is less blood loss and less discomfort. Those who claim tumescent lipo is better argue that blood loss is minimal with both techniques (although it is slightly lower with ultrasonic), refute that discomfort is less with ultrasonic (as there is no factual evidence to support this claim), and criticize ultrasonic lipo for causing potential fluid under the skin and persistent tingling and burning. The best advice for the savvy plastic surgery consumer is to go with the recommendation of your plastic surgeon when it comes to deciding on the right technique for you. This is because plastic surgeons usually recommend the technique that works best in their hands. Liposuction of the Abdomen vs. Tummy TuckLiposuction will reduce the thickness of your abdominal fat. It will slightly tighten your skin (provided you have no stretch marks). So, If your only problem is extra fat, then lipo is a good choice. Unfortunately, for many women (especially those who have been pregnant), the problem is more than that. In addition to excess fat, they also have loose skin, stretch marks, and a loose inner girdle (also called fascia or gristle). Liposuction will not tighten very loose skin. Nor will it remove stretch marks or tighten your loose inner girdle. If you have all of these problems and choose to have lipo instead of a tummy tuck, you will probably be very disappointed, because a tummy tuck WILL address each of these problems. ScarsScars are multiple and small (less than ¼ inch). They will be hidden in skin creases where possible. RecoveryAs for anesthesia, Lipo can be performed under general anesthesia (in which you are completely asleep and paralyzed) or sedation (twilight). It can be performed in the office or hospital. If performed in the office, be certain that your plastic surgeon's office has been accredited and that your plastic surgeon has hospital privileges for liposuction. Length of surgery is from 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the extent of fat to be removed. A Garment is necessary. At the completion of surgery, you will be placed in a liposuction garment, which is the equivalent to an extensive girdle. You must wear this for several weeks. After surgery, you can go home in most cases. If your surgeon performed a large-volume liposuction (over 6 -8 liters) then you should stay in the hospital overnight for observation and safety. Discomfort during your recover period varies from mild to severe. Anticipate 2-14 days of prescription pain medication. Swelling peaks within 3 days and dissipates over 2-8 weeks. As swelling resolves, it will settle to lower parts of your body (knees, ankles, and genitalia). Do not be alarmed if your labia or scrotum swells after liposuction of your abdomen. Bruising lasts for 2-10 days. Numbness and tingling may occur in suctioned areas and is due to damaged or irritated nerve endings. Sensation will return, and tingling will abate over 1-3 months. Stitches will be removed in 5-10 days. You will be Presentable in a bathing suit once your bruising has resolved, and your swelling has improved (approximately 2-4 weeks). You can return to work in 5-10 days, assuming you have stopped taking prescription pain medication. If your job requires lifting, wait 2-3 weeks. Exercise may be resumed in 2-4 weeks. Exercise within 2 weeks of liposuction will increase swelling and postpone your final result. Your Final result will be seen following resolution of swelling (4-8 weeks). Ask your plastic surgeon about these potential complicationsFat embolus: This is
a collection of fat which aggregates in the blood vessels during or after
liposuction. It may travel through the circulatory system and lodge in the
lungs, thereby interfering with breathing. The risk is less than 1 in 10, 000,
and it can be prevented through use of the smaller liposuction rods. Tips and Traps
