Best plastic surgeons
Liposuction is one of the most popular plastic surgery treatments in Europe. It may seem to be a simple intervention, but in reality, it is medium scale surgery. Liposuction cannot be performed on the whole body and does not replace slimming diets.
The international opinion is, that removing more than 3 litres of fat at one time can cause serious complications that may endanger the health of the patient. Liposuction is the most effective way to reshape the contour of smaller surfaces. Common locations for liposuction include the chin, cheeks, neck, abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, calves, ankles, upper arms and above breasts. The decreased amount of fat remaining after a slimming diet can also be successfully removed. The surgical strain and the possibility of complications depend on the expansion of the treated area, rather than on the amount of the fat removed.
In most cases liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia, as an outpatient treatment. The surgeon makes small incisions in the skin near fatty areas and inserts a long, hollow tube (known as a cannula), which vacuums out fatty deposits. Using the tumescent technique, targeted fat cells are infused with saline containing solution with a local anesthetic before the procedure to reduce post-operative bruising and swelling. Using ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), an ultrasound probe is inserted under the skin to "liquify" the fat before it is suctioned out. UAL treatments result in smoother skin, and make the liposuction from sensitive areas easier for the plastic surgeon.
Risks and side effects: Asymmetry. Rippling, or bagginess of skin. Other risks include pigmentation changes, skin injury, infection, and fluid retention. Excessive fluid loss may lead to shock. UAL: heat from the ultrasound device may cause thermal burn injury. With a 30 per cent chance of needing a follow-up operation, liposuction is commonly regarded among industry professionals as the cosmetic operation most likely to disappoint.
