How Have Liposuction
Techniques Advanced?
The
fairly brutal old style of liposuction has for the most part been
replaced. In the past, you would be under general anesthesia and
unconscious. A large metal tube (cannula) would be inserted through
several incisions and used to physically break up fat deposits and
suction them out of the body.
Ultrasonic liposuction
- has recently been introduced to the
U.S. This technique has been used in Europe for over 10 years. It uses
sound waves (ultrasonic) to liquefy fatty deposits, making them easier
to remove.
The sound waves affect the fat
in a couple of ways. The first is by
physically shaking the fat and the second is by heating it. The
combination of the two cause the fat to emulsify and turn into a liquid
state. A cannula that is much smaller than the old style is then used
to suction out the liquefied fat.
The main risks for this
procedure are skin burns and fluid accumulation
under the skin due to the sonic energy and heat used with this type of
Little Rock ultrasonic liposuction.
These risks can be
significantly reduced by a cosmetic surgeon who is experienced with the
equipment.
Liposelection by VASER - is a recent
advance over the original
ultrasonic techniques. This procedure allows much more precision and is
quite a bit less traumatic to your body. It works basically the same as
regular ultrasonic liposuction, but the greater precision produces a
much smoother and more predictable result.
Fans of liposelection also
claim that it's relatively pain free and
there is a minimal recovery period. It's also usually performed on an
outpatient basis in a hospital, surgical clinic, or even your plastic
surgeon's office.
External ultrasonic liposuction - is not
technically a cosmetic
surgery procedure since it's completely non-invasive. This is one of
the latest uses of ultrasonic energy for fat removal. Results from
clinical trials claim that it's pain free and no recovery period is
necessary.
It works by using a machine
developed to take advantage of ultrasonic
technology. The machine works by targeting fat cells and using
ultrasonic energy to break the cell membranes.
The fluid in the cells is then
released to be carried away by your
body's lymphatic system. It would be eliminated by the normal waste
removal process of your body.
This method only became
available in North America in mid-2007 and even
though there have been many clinical tests, the long term effects are
unknown. Since it is so new, it may be tough to find a clinic where the
treatment is available.
A lot of experts feel like
this may be the first of many advancements
in cosmetic surgery that ease the risk and pain associated with the
plastic surgery of the past.
