Advises for suction lipectomy candidatesIt's good to see you at Czech Republic Plastic Surgery Clinic! Suction Lipectomy today is among the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures for men and women alike. A procedure designed to remove excess fat through a suctioning process. Suction Lipectomy is a cosmetic surgery operation which removes fat from many different sites on the human body. Areas affected can range from the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, to neck, backs of the arms and elsewhere. If you considering having Suction Lipectomy of the jaw and neck and skin here is becoming too wrinkled or sagging, the best alternative of Suction Lipectomy is sometimes a combination of Suction Lipectomy and laser resurfacing or chemical peel or facelift. Suction Lipectomy is an operation to remove fat from areas of your body, such as the upper thighs or abdomen. One of the most common of all cosmetic procedures, abdominal Suction Lipectomy is a technique for recontouring the body by permanently removing fat deposits from the abdomen. Suction Lipectomy is also used to reduce breast size in men with large breasts (gynecomastia) or to remove fat tumors (lipomas) but it is most commonly used for cosmetic body shaping. Many patients become discouraged at having lost unwanted pounds without seeing a flatter abdomen. The overall proportions of the body may be unbalanced, or the abdomen may simply have retained areas of fatty tissue that cause it to protrude. While exercise and dieting may be useful for losing unwanted weight and fat, some fat deposits may not respond to efforts at weight loss. Ultimately, the operating physician and the patient make the decision about amount of removed fat. There are negative aspects to removing too much fat. Unusual "lumpiness" and/or "dents" in the skin can be seen in those patients "over-suctioned". The more fat removed the higher the surgical risk. To be a good candidate for Suction Lipectomy, you must have realistic expectations about what the procedure can do for you. It's important to understand that Suction Lipectomy can enhance your appearance and self confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal or cause other people to treat you differently. The Suction Lipectomy candidate should be physically healthy, psychologically stable and realistic in your expectations. Your age is not a major consideration; however, older patients may have diminished skin elasticity and may not achieve the same results as a younger patient with tighter skin. You must be mentally and emotionally stable to undergo an cosmetic procedure. No surgeon would agree to work on a mentally/emotionally unstable person. Not out of discrimination, but for reasons which may trigger a deeper depression or possessiveness during the healing process. The Suction Lipectomy requires patience and stability in dealing with the healing period. Depression is already a common issue after Suction Lipectomy for emotionally healthy patients so I am sure you will understand that if you do have a history of depression that you should get the approval of your physician before undergoing a procedure. In your initial consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your health, determine where your fat deposits lie and assess the condition of your skin. Your surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for surgery, including guidelines on eating and drinking, smoking, and taking or avoiding vitamins, iron tablets and certain medications. Various types of anesthesia can be used for Suction Lipectomy procedures. Together, you and your surgeon will select the type of anesthesia that provides the most safe and effective level of comfort for your surgery. If only a small amount of fat and a limited number of body sites are involved, Suction Lipectomy can be performed under local anesthesia, which numbs only the affected areas. Some patients prefer general anesthesia, particularly if a large volume of fat is being removed. If this is the case, a nurse anesthetist or anesthesiologist will be called in to make sure you are completely asleep during the procedure. The time required to perform Suction Lipectomy may vary considerably, depending on the size of the area, the amount of fat being removed, the type of anesthesia and the technique used. Through a tiny incision, a narrow tube or cannula is inserted and used to vacuum the fat layer that lies deep beneath the skin. The cannula is pushed then pulled through the fat layer, breaking up the fat cells and suctioning them out. The suction action is provided by a vacuum pump or a large syringe, depending on the surgeon's preference. If many sites are being treated, your surgeon will then move on to the next area, working to keep the incisions as inconspicuous as possible. During the Suction Lipectomy operation your plastic surgeon will make a cut in your skin and insert a thin metal tube called a cannula. The cannula is moved around and fat is sucked out using a vacuum pump or syringe. For larger areas, more than one cut may be used to reach all the fatty deposits that are being treated. Suction Lipectomy is normally safe, as long as patients are carefully selected, the operating facility is properly equipped and the physician is adequately trained. After Suction Lipectomy procedure, you will likely experience some fluid drainage from the incisions. Occasionally, a small drainage tube may be inserted beneath the skin for a couple of days to prevent fluid build-up. Pain after Suction Lipectomy can be controlled with medications prescribed by your surgeon, though you may still feel stiff and sore for a few days. Healing is a gradual process. Your surgeon will probably tell you to start walking around as soon as possible to reduce swelling and to help prevent blood clots from forming in your legs. You will see a noticeable difference in the shape of your body quite soon after surgery. However, improvement will become even more apparent after about four to six weeks, when most of the swelling has subsided. After about three months, any persistent mild swelling usually disappears and the final contour will be visible. If your expectations are realistic, you will probably be very pleased with the results of your surgery. You may find that you are more comfortable in a wide variety of clothes and more at ease with your body. And, by eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise, you can help to maintain your new shape.
