What do you need to know about liposuction: Plastic surgery Royal✓

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body through small incisions using cannulas, which are thin tubes connected to a vacuum device. By targeting fatty tissue located between the skin and muscles, liposuction allows for precise body shaping and the removal of fat deposits, resulting in a slimmer appearance.

Understanding Fat Layers

There are two layers of fat in the body: superficial and deep. The superficial layer, situated just beneath the skin, is thinner and denser, whereas the deeper layer is softer and more flexible. Liposuction is most effective when targeting these deeper layers, as they can be removed more easily due to reduced connective tissue.

The Liposuction Process

The main principle of liposuction involves the suction of fat cells using negative pressure applied through hollow cannulas. This negative pressure, typically between 10 and 30 mm of mercury, enables the breakdown of fat cells and their removal from the body. It is crucial to control the pressure to prevent complications like the rupture of fat cells or uneven body contours.

Preparing for Surgery

The liposuction procedure begins with a thorough consultation and physical examination to identify areas with excess fat. For optimal aesthetic results, it is often recommended to address all problem areas during the procedure.

Tumescent Solution Application

Before the procedure, a tumescent solution is injected into the targeted tissue. This solution serves multiple purposes: it contains lidocaine to reduce pain, epinephrine to minimize bleeding, and facilitates easier fat removal. This preparation enhances the safety and effectiveness of the liposuction process.

Fat Removal Capacity

Liposuction can precisely remove up to 6 liters of fat in one session, depending on the patient's size and the areas treated. However, careful evaluation of the fat removed is essential to avoid risks such as contour irregularities, excessive fluid loss, or loose skin.

Common Areas for Liposuction

Liposuction is frequently performed on the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, and areas around the neck and chin. Targeting stubborn fat deposits in these regions can significantly improve body contours in ways that diet and exercise alone may not achieve.

Recovery and Maintaining Results

Post-surgery, patients typically wear compression garments for several weeks to reduce swelling and promote even fat cell healing. Recovery generally proceeds quickly, with most individuals returning to their normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial for preserving the results in the long term.

Limitations of Liposuction

While liposuction can significantly enhance body contours, it does have limitations. This procedure is ideal for removing localized fat deposits, but it is not a solution for weight loss or excess skin removal. It is not suitable for individuals seeking to lose a substantial amount of weight.
