Liposuction - Fat Removal Procedure For Women

Liposuction is a fat removal procedure for women (and men) who are of generally normal weight but have isolated pockets of fat; although this should not be viewed as a treatment for weight loss. The only problem with this procedure is that sometimes the fat returns some time later; annoyingly, this can happen in a completely different area to where it was taken.

The two most common methods to get rid of it are the tumescent technique and Ultrasonic. The most popular of these two methods, Tumescent, is performed routinely now in the USA as a treatment for unwanted fat. There is less bruising with this method which is an additional benefit from the use of a smaller tube. Unfortunately there is often a certain amount of blood loss with traditional liposuction; something that is addressed with the Tumescent technique which adds adrenaline to the solution to reduce the blood loss.

Some of the most awkward areas to remove fat from are the thighs, hips, back and upper stomach region but Ultrasonic liposuction makes this possible. Every medical procedure has some element of risk and this is no different because when using the traditional treatment process the plastic surgeon is unable to see exactly where the probe is inside the body. The best advice when considering this course of treatment is to consult with the surgeon about the best and safest technique.

As with any type of medical procedure, liposuction does have some risk attached although professional cosmetic surgeons take great care of their patients. To help reduce this risk, physical examinations are necessary for all subjects to make sure that every individual is healthy enough for the procedure to go ahead. To ensure infections do not occur after treatment, cosmetic surgeons prescribe antibiotics to patients and re-iterate the importance of keeping wounds clean.

Fortunately though, in the past few years much progress has been made in the field of cosmetic surgery in respect to this procedure. A new procedure akin to liposuction is Lipo dissolve, which eliminates unwanted fat with a series of micro-injections into problem areas such as the neck, stomach and thighs. Because Lipo Dissolve does not cause any pain, it can be performed without the need for any anesthetic and be used with other skin treatments that do not require surgical intervention.
