Liposuction is a particularly well-suited procedure for women and men who are of relatively normal weight but have isolated pockets of fat that cause areas of their body to appear disproportionate. The fat that’s removed can sometimes reoccur, annoyingly in a completely different area to where it was taken from.

Tumescent and Ultrasonic are the two most commonly used methods although there are other lesser known techniques. The Tumescent method is the most commonly practiced technique of the two main ways of removing unwanted fat from Americans today.

Fat is removed by a smaller tube and this also helps to reduce the amount of bruising that occurs with the traditional method. Tumescent liposuction eliminates bleeding and because the residual anesthetic solution drains out so quickly, there is less inflammation so the healing process is significantly accelerated.

Ultrasonic liposuction enables the removal of fat in areas that were previously unable to have liposuction such as the back, upper abdomen and male breast.

The problem with the conventional treatment is the surgeon has trouble seeing where the probe is located in the body so it is possible for internal organs to be damaged if extreme care is not taken. If you are considering this type of treatment then discuss it with your cosmetic surgeon who will be able to give advice on the most appropriate method for you.

The liposuction procedure although relatively safe does carry some risk of side-effects but fortunately fatalities are very rare. In preparing for the procedure, individuals are required to undergo a series of physical examinations to determine whether or not their health is good enough to have it performed. Patients are told to keep wounds clean after the procedure and given antibiotics to avoid possible infection at this vulnerable time. As time has passed, a great deal has been learned and techniques improved.

Lipo dissolve another type of liposuction involves a series of injections of a compounded mixture of drugs into areas of body fat: including saddlebags, double chins, hips and other hard to reach places. 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.
