Spring has come and gone, and many enviable figures are appearing on the streets one after another, so do you want to be beautiful this summer too? We all know that we can use liposuction to build a perfect body, however, do you know anything about liposuction surgery? What homework do you need to do before liposuction?
A. Is liposuction safe or not?
From the early “dry suction”, ultrasonic liposuction to fast negative pressure liposuction, the equipment and technology of liposuction is constantly improving, and the surgery is becoming less painful and safer. The most dangerous complications of liposuction are fat embolism and massive bleeding. Currently, most of the surgical methods used for liposuction are wet negative pressure liposuction and hydrodynamic liposuction, while other methods are not used or not yet approved in China, so you can almost ignore them. The mortality rate due to liposuction is even smaller, about 1 in 50,000 in the United States. In my more than 10 years of experience, I have not seen this serious complication, although I deal with liposuction every day. Many doctors, including some plastic surgeons, do not understand the surgical operation of liposuction and are not clear about the key points of the operation, so they do not grasp the level of liposuction accurately, which leads to various complications. The first thing you need to do is to choose a doctor with relevant experience.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do.
I’ve been repeating a point when answering questions from netizens, liposuction can not lose weight, weight loss please combine exercise and diet, grasp the body intake and expenditure to do so. Therefore, people who want to do liposuction should have a concept that liposuction is mainly for localized accumulation of deep fat, like the subcutaneous fat in the small abdomen, waist, buttocks, outer thighs and other places. The use of liposuction in these places can quickly get rid of the fat and create a perfect body. But liposuction does not apply to the whole body obese, because the fat density is very low, liposuction does not have a great impact on weight.
The more liposuction you do, the faster you lose weight?
Some women who are eager to be thin like to be greedy when it comes to liposuction, thinking that the more you pump, the faster you will be thin. The more you have to do, the more money you will make. In fact, liposuction is not as easy as pumping water, clattering fat all out, the amount of fat extraction should be based on their own situation, for local anesthesia patients, more than 2000ml of liposuction is not safe, and for general anesthesia surgery, the amount of 5000ml is also a red line that doctors should pay attention to. Because the risk of surgery increases as the amount of fat extraction increases, the requirements for the surgeon’s surgical technique, anesthesia level and surgical equipment are higher, so it should be operated by an experienced plastic surgery specialist, anesthesia by a genuine anesthesiologist and performed in a well-equipped hospital in order to minimize the risk. The doctor should not do it with a hard head, and there is no shame in finding an experienced doctor to keep watch.
Four, liposuction or not rebound?
For adults, the number of fat cells has been constant, the reason why people eat fat and become thin is because of the increase and decrease in the size of fat cells, the usual non-surgical weight loss methods can not reduce the number of fat cells, but can only “starve” the fat cells, when the cells get enough nutrients again When the cells get enough nutrients, they will “grow up” again, which is the process of weight loss failure and obesity rebound; while liposuction removes fat cells from the body and reduces the absolute number of fat cells, after the number of fat cells is reduced, it is impossible to increase again, thus the effect after liposuction is permanent and will not rebound. If the volume of fat cells is constant, if the remaining fat cells are constantly supplied by you and keep growing, fat will still accumulate, because the ability of fat cells to change volume is amazing. Therefore, even after liposuction, do not overeat, combined with proper exercise, you will be able to maintain a nice figure.
Fifth, is the skin loose in the liposuction area?
This question can actually be difficult for general “pseudo” experts, in fact, liposuction requires detailed communication and interview with the doctor before the surgery. For patients with relatively loose skin, deep fat suction is the main method, and shallow fat is not suctioned as much as possible, or only limited suction with fine needles to prevent skin laxity from worsening; for girls who are young and pursuing “bone-like For girls who are young and seeking “bone-like” beauty, abdominal suction to create a vestigial line is also a daily occurrence. There is an exception here, for patients with more serious postpartum skin laxity, it is recommended to combine liposuction and abdominoplasty surgery, so that you can tighten the abdominal wall skin and reshape the “small waist” of the year.
Six, liposuction surgery painful?
This is a matter of opinion, in plastic surgery this surgery is not considered “painful” surgery. The majority of people can tolerate fat suction under local anesthesia, but sedation anesthesia or general anesthesia is safer. However, it is not true to say that it does not hurt, once one of my patients under local anesthesia to do abdominal fat suction, half of the pumping dead, everyone’s pain threshold is different, so it is important to communicate with the doctor before the operation Oh.
Seven, how big is the wound? How long is the recovery period? Can I go to work? When is the right time to do it?
If liposuction needles are unfamiliar to you, I believe you must have seen the needles used for knitting clothes, the liposuction needles are about that thick, and the holes left behind are about the same thickness as the needles. During the recovery period, you can resume general activities after three days of hospitalization, and you only need to pay attention to keep the liposuction area straight. As for the season of surgery, of course it’s spring, the right season to lose weight, recover well and show your meat!
Are liposuction breast augmentation, buttock augmentation and face augmentation technologies mature?
At present, these procedures are relatively popular surgery, sounds very good, in fact, the effect is also superb, the technology is quite mature. To give you some insider information, in the past our department breast augmentation patients accounted for more than half of the patients, but now the breast implants have been replaced by fat transfer breast augmentation trend, do you think?
Nine, how to deal with the secondary breast? How to deal with male breasts?
Seeing this question raised by netizens, perhaps no longer in this field ha, here to answer. The side breast is currently using fat suction + glandular + excess skin excision, simple fat suction can not solve the problem, many side breast will lead to premenstrual distension, and side breast also has the possibility of malignant change, therefore, on the basis of fat suction, need to do underarm incision, in addition to removing the glandular removal of excess skin, to create the perfect curve and healthy body.
For male breasts, liposuction + glandular excision is also used. For male breast development that is ineffective through exercise, the above surgical procedure can reduce the fat accumulation in the chest while removing the glands to flatten the chest, and from three months after surgery, you can start exercising the pectoral muscles to create a perfect body shape.
