Is liposuction really safe? Liposuction emerged in Europe in the mid-1970s and was introduced to China in the 1980s. After more than 20 years of development, liposuction has expanded from simple abdominal fat extraction to all parts of the body, from simple weight loss to body sculpture, and from high complication rate to very few and very light complications. Nowadays, liposuction has become a standardized, safe and reliable surgical procedure in plastic and cosmetic surgery, with the advantages of less bleeding, less pain, faster recovery and less surgical trauma, and can be performed on an outpatient basis. During liposuction surgery, several tiny incisions are usually chosen for each area. The surgeon mostly decides the scope of the surgery and the depth of fat extraction according to the patient’s physical condition and specific requirements. Who is suitable for liposuction? 1.Most women aged 25 to 50 years old usually have varying degrees of fat accumulation in their abdomen, buttocks and thighs and can undergo fat extraction. 2.Men and women from teenagers (18-25 years old) to 65 years old or older. 3.In good health, localized fat accumulation in the body caused by various reasons. 4.People with poor body shape, unclear lines and unattractive dressing. Is the amount of liposuction limited? Does liposuction rebound? Generally, a fat suction volume of 3,000-5,000 ml is normal and can be done in stages and phases, not the more the better. Non-surgical weight loss methods, such as controlling diet, increasing exercise, taking diet pills, etc., in the process of weight loss, the reason for the weight loss effect is to reduce the water in the fat cells, but the number of fat cells in the human body is not reduced, which means that the warehouse for storing fat is still so much, once the weight loss stops, the fat cells swell up again and the person remains obese. When fat loses its place of residence, the total amount of fat in the human body will be fundamentally reduced, and people will lose the prerequisite condition to become obese again. Does liposuction affect my health? Liposuction has been used for thirty years in the world, and during this time, medical doctors have done an observation experiment, that is, the two types of people who have received liposuction surgery and those who have not received liposuction surgery were observed for 20 years, and as a result, the incidence of hypertension, coronary heart disease and various cancers in the former was reduced by 20 to 30 times compared to the latter. Therefore, liposuction does not have any major impact on our health. Regarding the issue of affecting endocrine, since liposuction weight loss is sucking off part of the abdominal fat, it will have some slight effects on endocrine, but it will not be too powerful, so we don’t need to worry about it. Some effects are still beneficial, such as some people who were constipated, but their stools flowed freely after the operation. Correct liposuction can not only improve the shape of a person (especially good for women), but also bring health and improve the quality of life of a person. Therefore, some developed countries regard liposuction as the best way to lose weight. Does liposuction hurt? Liposuction will be carried out under swelling anesthesia, so the liposuction process is not painful. The whole procedure is carried out in a relaxed environment, and the anesthesia effect can last for 48 hours after the operation, so there will be no unbearable pain. However, if you choose an unprofessional medical institution, it is inevitable that the patient’s pain will increase during the surgery due to improper operation or lack of proportionality on the part of the doctor. Should I wear a compression garment after liposuction? After liposuction surgery, it is important to wear a compression garment to shape up the body. So what exactly are the requirements for wearing compression garments after liposuction surgery? Liposuction is not only a means of weight loss and slimming, but also a good method of shaping, so after the procedure, professional hospitals will have the surgeon wear an elastic garment for the purpose of shaping. Our regular practice is to choose a compression garment before the surgery and put it on immediately after the surgery, while wearing it for two weeks after the surgery except when showering or changing medication, and then wearing it for 12 hours a day for two weeks afterwards.
