Liposuction of different areas - features of the procedure
Liposuction belongs to the category of cosmetic procedures that help reduce the volume and shape of adipose tissue in the human body. Many believe that this procedure cures obesity - this is not entirely true. Obesity is a disease that is directly related to a violation of metabolic processes, and these problems cannot be solved by banal "suction" of fat. The most popular procedure is laser liposuction of various areas, which has its indications and contraindications.
Indications and contraindications for liposuction
The main indication for carrying out such a procedure is the presence of bulky fat deposits, which cannot be dealt with by conservative methods, namely diets and physical exercises.
Before carrying out the procedure, the specialist must make sure that the patient's general state of health is within normal limits, and the skin is elastic. But even if the skin is flabby, this is not a contraindication to the procedure. Liposuction of the cheeks, for example, in such a case can end with pronounced sagging of the skin, which makes further lifting appropriate.
The procedure has clearly established contraindications:
- congenital and/or acquired heart defects;
- herpes in the stage of exacerbation;
- diabetes;
- malignant/benign tumors;
- diseases of the endocrine system;
- general somatic diseases in chronic form;
- problems in the functionality of the blood coagulation system;
- infectious diseases in an acute form;
- mental deviations.
Types of liposuction
In clinics, various methods are used to solve the problem of bulky fat deposits:
- Ultrasonic liposuction. The most popular method of carrying out the procedure, which is characterized by the absence of scars, bleeding and complications. Under the influence of ultrasonic waves, fatty tissue is destroyed and becomes a liquid emulsion, and then it is pumped out by special vacuum equipment. This type of liposuction can also be performed in a non-invasive way, that is, emulsified fatty tissue is removed from the body through the circulatory and lymphatic systems. Non-invasive technique is the optimal choice for non-surgical liposuction of the face.
- Ultrasound can effectively get rid of small fat deposits.
- Radiofrequency liposuction. Adipose tissue is literally "broken" by radio wave radiation. The advantage of the method is the possibility of obtaining a lifting effect. The technique is often used to work with the face.
- Laser liposuction. This method is one of the most modern - fatty tissue is liquefied with the help of a laser beam, and then it is removed from the body through a special tube with a small diameter. In this case, no incisions are made - a puncture is enough.
The most common method was and remains tumescent. During the procedure, the doctor makes one or more punctures, special cannulae are inserted under the skin, which help pump fat. Liposuction of the legs and arms, abdomen and sides is performed with this method - minimally traumatic and effective.
Preparation for liposuction
It does not matter in which area of the body the procedure is performed - liposuction of the knees, face or abdomen requires the patient to undergo a preparatory stage. It consists of a full examination, including fluorography, ECG and a consultation with a therapist.
If you need liposuction of the sides, doctors will prefer the ultrasound method. As part of the preparation, the patient will undergo an ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs and laboratory tests of blood/urine.
For 10 days before the appointed date of the cosmetic procedure, the patient is forbidden to use any medicines and to smoke. In the clinic, it will be necessary to carry out a complete cleaning of the intestine.
Rehabilitation period
Before and after liposuction of the chin, abdomen, upper/lower limbs and any other areas, certain rules must be followed. If the preparatory period is carried out under the control of medical professionals and all appointments are made by them, then during rehabilitation the patient must pay attention to his own health. During the rehabilitation period, it is forbidden to visit baths/saunas/solariums, as well as to play sports for 30 days.
It is mandatory to wear special underwear after liposuction of the thighs and buttocks. This will help form new, correct body contours. In addition, in order for the effect to be longer, you need to follow a certain diet with a restriction on the use of fatty and salty foods, pastries and sweets.
Rehabilitation in the first 30 days involves specific massage and lymphatic drainage sessions - such appointments will be made by a cosmetologist.
