Eliminate Excess Fat with Advanced Liposuction Technique

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure commonly in use in to eliminate excess fat from all different body parts especially from the abdominal region. It is also called as lipoplasty, suction lipectomy, liposculpture or fat suction in Sydney. Generally, the fat is eradicated from thighs, chin, buttocks, love handles (abdomen), breasts and stomach for women and chin, waist, breasts and buttocks for men under this process. This surgical practice is not a substitute to exercise and dieting and it should be used only to take away the stubborn fat that does respond to regular exercising and dieting. This technique is not at all a weight loss method but a technique to remove excess fat. Generally, 5-15 pounds of fat is taken out under a standard liposuction procedure. However, taking out of huge amounts of fat can be hazardous at times.

There are many kinds of liposuction technique performed in sydney these days like traditional liposuction, tumescent liposuction, ultrasound liposuction, super wet liposuction. All these techniques employ a cannula (a blunt straw like tube) for suction of fat. Saline water is injected into the space stuck between muscle and fat to break them up. If the quantity of saline water is not as much of as that of the amount of fat to be removed, then it is called as “traditional lipo”. If the saline water is 3 to 4 times the volume of fat to be eliminated, then it is called as “tumescent lipo”. Adding additional water helps the cosmetic doctor in moving the cannula back and forth to disintegrate the fat cells. However, surplus water may have an effect on the homeostasis of the body. Under the super wet lipo, the quantity of saline water is same as that of quantity of fat to be removed. This is the most admired surgical technique used by surgeons in sydney.

The fat is initially liquefied through ultrasound under ultrasonic lipo before being suctioned out. However, ultrasound techniques are not well liked as they sometime lead to necrosis (death of skin) and seromas (collection of yellow fluid in pockets). Under all different kinds of methods, either local anesthesia or general anesthesia is used. The standard anesthetic that is in use is lidocaine. Epinephrine is also used under this method to minimise blood loss. To carry out this method the patient must be over 18 and in excellent health with elastic skin. If the skin is not adequately elastic, the surplus skin may have to be eliminated after lipo. The process under which surplus skin is removed from abdomen is called as abdominoplasty or tummy tuck.

Diabetics and patients taking regular dosages of antibiotics are advised not to undergo any kind of lipo procedure. Before operation the patient should not take any anticoagulants like warfarin, phenindione etc. If general anesthesia is given, the patient has to fast on the night before the operation. If local anesthesia is given, there is no prerequisite of fasting. Smoking and drinking is strictly prohibited pre and post operation.

The incisions are generally less than an inch in diameter. After operation, the surplus fluid takes days to weeks to drain out. Antibiotics and/or painkillers can be resumed during this phase. Patient recovery time varies from few days to a couple of months. As with all other different kinds of csmetic surgeries, there are surgical threats in liposuction as well. There are negligible risks, up to 0.7%, of side effects like internal organs being scraped, seromas, necrosis, bleeding etc.

Liposuction in Sydney is not a weight loss technique and the patient should anticipate realistic and not dramatic transforms in look.
