Liposuction or fat aspiration, is aspiration of unnecessary fat from places where it is difficult to get rid of it. Usually it is the stomach, buttocks and thighs, but the areas of action can also be calf, hips, chin or nipples in men. The main advantage of the treatment is that liposuction is a permanent reduction of fat, which does not appear to have a jojo effect. The fat is removed, and therefore there is no place to accumulate and once sucked out for ever gives a slimmer silhouette. It is important, however, that for the next 2 to 4 weeks after the procedure, wear special compression clothing. This makes the skin shrunk and the effect of drooping folds is avoided. Liposuction can be repeated with 2 or more treatments with a maximum of 3 liters of fat for large amounts of fat.
Contraindications for liposuction: • pregnancy and lactation • unstable chronic diseases • autoimmune diseases • cardiac problems and blood clotting disorders • diabetes • purulent skin infections.
Liposuction can be combined with fat graft surgery. Sucked fat after cleansing and selecting, can be used as a natural filling of the mouth, breasts or cheeks.
WHAT IS TUMESCENT?
Operative method for removal of local body fat by aspiration using liposuction cannulas. In the case of tumescent liposuction technique, a large amount of infiltration solution is applied to the area previously treated to improve the area. Tumescent liposuction is usually performed in patients who can only receive topical anesthesia. This procedure takes longer than classic liposuction (maximum 3 hours but in practice about 2 hours). Because the solution in addition to the physiological (saline) solution also contains adrenaline (causing shrinkage of blood vessels) and certain amounts of anesthetic (usually lidocaine) anesthetic, the use of another anesthetic is not necessary. The anesthetics contained in the infiltration solution also have a lipophilic effect - It causes, without any side effects, the surface descent of fat cells. During this method often 2-3 times more solution is injected than the volume of adipose tissue to be removed. This results in temporary tumescence of the subcutaneous tissue that provides the possibility of using thin rounded cannulas whose diameter we would have to double or triple if we were dealing with non-filtered tissue. Prior to liposuction, the patient must wait 30 minutes before the anesthetic begins. Subsequent suction with liposuction cannons. An advantage of the tumescent method is the use of topical anesthesia, the application of a large amount of solution, the lipophilic effect of lidocaine, the possibility of changing the position of the patient during the procedure and the final fat aspiration performed in the standing position of the patient. Treatment compared to classical liposuction takes longer, but it is not advisable to aspirate several large areas or whole body at one visit. The tumescent method is in combination with the cannula used for suction, considered the most effective and at the same time the most gentle method. This is a combination of the tumescent method and the vibration liposuction.
