Know All Types Of Liposuction!Liposuction is a word most women, and some men, are familiar with. Most of us know someone, or know someone who knows someone, who has had the procedure. Before you consider getting a liposuction procedure, you should be well informed about this subject. Your doctor will be the best help for you in this matter. So, you should know that there are few types of liposuction available on the market. Generally described, liposuction is the removal of stubborn pockets of fat from the body by using vacuuming or suction. Some procedures incorporate the use of liquid injections or ultrasound. If there are any preconditions for an ideal outcome of the lipo procedure, two should be identified: patients should be at their ideal weight and have a strong skin. Standard liposuction starts with a small incision made through the skin into which a cannula (tube) is inserted. The cannula is used to vacuum out the fat in the targeted area. The tube is pushed and pulled through the fat layer, and the fat is suctioned through the tube. Standard liposuction takes the least amount of time, but can result in more bruising and blood loss than other types. The time required for the procedure varies based upon the amount of fat being removed and how many areas are being targeted. As a standard, traditional liposuction is performed by making incisions that allows the suctions to enter the areas to be treated and remove the fat. Different sized suctions are used to remove the fat while the patient is either under a general or a local anesthetic. A type of liposuction is the “super wet” liposuction. This liposuction technique uses a saline solution that contains a local anesthetic and adrenaline that is injected into the area the patient wishes to be treated. The process breaks the fat deposits easily, so that the surgeon can extract it. In addition, the extra fluid minimizes trauma that can occur to the surrounding tissue. This allows for a reduced amount of pain as well as swelling. Certain risks are reduced with the super wet liposuction technique because the solution containing adrenaline decreases bleeding during the procedure. Tumescent liposuction is another type of liposuction, and it is similar to the super wet liposuction technique in that the areas to be treated are injected with a large amount of anesthetic liquid that causes the compartments of fat to become firm and swollen. This injection can allow the liposuction to remove the fat beneath the skin more smoothly. The tumescent liposuction technique also minimizes bleeding. Currently, the tumescent liposuction technique is the most frequently used form of liposuction. Ultrasonic liposuction technique is a third type and a new one, of liposuction. This technique removes the fat that is first broken up by ultrasound and removed by suction. This particular technique works by the ultrasound waves that are produced by a generator and transmitted to the tip of suction. The suction tip will contact the fat cells and break them up and emulsify the fat. The fat, now in liquefied form, can then be removed with a low-pressure suction. This is an advantage over traditional liposuction because it can have fewer traumas on the body. The newest liposuction technique, ultrasound liposuction cuts down on surgery time, decreases tissue trauma, and reduces blood loss so bruising and faster recovery time can occur. So, it’s important to find out about the types of liposuction and talk to your specialist, before making a decision.
