Liposuction |
|
Liposuction is a very useful and versatile surgical procedure to
reduce fatty deposits in many areas of the body. It is one of the
most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures in the world.
Liposuction is not used as a weight reduction technique, but rather
is used to treat specific areas of contour deformity or fat deposition
that have resisted the efforts of diet and exercise. It is suitable
for areas such as the neck, the arms, the abdomen, and especially
the hips, thighs, and knees.
Liposuction is often used as an adjunct to breast reduction surgery.
It is can also be used during an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or
in other forms of body contouring surgery.
The results from the procedure are reliant upon good skin quality.
Once the excess fatty tissue has been removed, the skin will need
to shrink to fit the new contours, otherwise the outcome of the
procedure can be disappointing
These procedures can be performed under local anaesthetic, with
or without sedation, or general anaesthetic, and are often performed
as a day case.
ruising and swelling can persist for two weeks, after which time
a return to work is possible. A pressure garment will be fitted
for you that will apply constant pressure to the treated areas post-operatively.
This will hasten your recovery and improve your result, and will
need to be worn for up to six weeks.
This is an excellent procedure to smooth out your final silhouette,
or to simply deal with those problem areas.
