Liposculpture

Liposculpture is done in order to gain a better contour of your body. There are special surgical techniques utilized, like UAL liposculpture or alternatively tumescent liposculpture. Any technique used will aim to remove fat deposits that are localized and can not be eliminated through proper diets and exercising. The problem is that these deposits can appear in most areas of our bodies. The result is a contour that is not appealing and not esthetic. We have noticed more people every year gaining benefits from liposculture. In most cases the abdomen and the thighs will be targeted. It is good to know that the face can also benefit from this cosmetic surgery procedure and it can even be performed in order to have breast reduction.

The average time for a liposculpture session is 2 hours. It can last longer or less based on the procedure dealing with large or small volumes of fat deposits. You should know that the technique used and the number of regions treated will eventually determine the procedure’s length and recovery time needed. We are talking about surgery so you need to realize that there will be side effects. You can expect to have temporary bruising, swelling or soreness. In some cases the doctor will want to use UAL liposculpture or tumescent liposculpture in order to reduce the side effects that can appear. On the other hand, the side effects of this surgery are not hard to handle and in most cases no complications will appear. Swelling and bruising will eventually disappear and the results will be visible a lot faster than you might expect.

In most cases you will be able to get back to day-to-day activities in around 14 days. It is recommended that you avoid any type of strenuous activity for 1 month. Smoking is also prohibited as it will make your recovery period a lot longer than it should be. Smokers will also be faced with healing problems after liposculpture and most types of cosmetic surgery procedures. The risks associated include skin irregularities, asymmetry, fluid retention, infection and skin pigment changes. If UAL is utilized you might also have to deal with skin burns.

The good news is that the fat cells will be removed forever. Unfortunately this does not mean that you will never be faced with such a problem again. You will need to exercise properly and have a good diet in order to make sure that the optimal results obtained are maintained. In all liposcultpure techniques the doctor will use a cannula in order to actually perform the suction of fat cells. It is up to your surgeon to decide what technique to use. In most cases the decision is done based on the personal experience of the surgeon. There are advantages and disadvantages to all techniques and you should discuss this with the physician. Discuss whether he/she will perform UAL or tumescent liposculpture. There is also the possibility that you might need an extra procedure to be done besides this one. The reason is that fat cells will disappear and this might leave excess skin. When dealing with facial liposculpture, in most situations a facelift is required. What you need to do is have a proper discussion with the surgeon that will perform the operation. You need to ask all the questions that are not clear and make sure you get the answers. Keep in mind that a good doctor will have no problem in showing you before and after photos of previous operations. Once all is over, you need to respect the indications that will be given to you and the results will be as good as they can be.
