Fat Aspiration Q&A

       1.What is fat aspiration?
  Liposuction is a surgical procedure performed by a professional plastic surgeon to remove fat cells from a specific part of the body through different surgical procedures, so as to reduce the number of fat cells reliably and achieve a beautiful body shape. Liposuction, or liposuction for short, is gradually gaining popularity.
  2.Will I lose weight after liposuction?
  The change of appearance after liposuction is more obvious than the change of weight, because the density of fat cells itself is very small and the proportion of their weight is very low, so the reduction of their cell number has less impact on weight, but it has a great impact on the body shape, and it is the best surgery and choice for shaping the human body, which is also the focus of attention of our friends. For example, through liposuction, you can make your bulging lower abdomen flat, eliminate your bloated hips, make your lower limbs slender, and make your upper limbs beautiful, thus achieving the curved beauty people are looking for.
  3.Will liposuction rebound after the surgery?
  Strictly speaking, there will be no rebound after liposuction, because this surgery can reduce the number of fat cells in the human body exactly and reliably, and the rebound phenomenon people talk about refers to the abdomen, which is due to the fact that abdominal fat is divided into extra-peritoneal and intra-peritoneal fat, and all the fat suctioned off is abdominal wall fat (i.e. extra-peritoneal fat), while intra-peritoneal fat does not have any changes. strengthen the abdominal muscle training, without proper control of diet and exercise, then the fat in the peritoneum will become larger, and thus through the weak abdominal muscle expansion, that is, the so-called rebound phenomenon, so that this is a misunderstanding, an illusion.

Since the skin of middle-aged and elderly people is more lax and less elastic, the phenomenon of skin sagging will occur after liposuction, and small-scale abdominoplasty and other skin excisions can be performed if necessary. It is worth highlighting that, in recent years, domestic and foreign studies have shown that fat absorption, especially fat extraction of the waist and abdomen, will reduce the acute attacks of coronary heart disease, acute and chronic pancreatitis, and is conducive to the drug control of secondary hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes; at the same time, the reduction of body surface area reduces the oxygen consumption of the body, relieves the excessive burden on the heart muscle, and provides convenient conditions for middle-aged and elderly friends to actively participate in suitable sports activities. It provides convenient conditions.
