We all have problem areas: those parts of our anatomy which seem to gain weight the first and, unfortunately, lose it the last. Often thin, athletic people find themselves unable to lose that roll on their lower abdomen or inner thigh fullness despite diet and exercise.
Best candidates for liposuction:
The best candidates for liposuction are normal-weight people with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas. You should be physically healthy, and realistic in your expectation. Individuals with medical problems like diabetes, heart or lung problems poor blood circulations are not suitable candidates for liposuction.
Preparing for surgery:
Patients should stop taking anticoagulants for two weeks before surgery. Smoking must be avoided for about two months prior to surgery. As it interferes with circulation and causes blood clots.
The surgery:
The time required to perform liposuction varies considerably, depending on the size of the area, the amount of fat being removed, the type of anesthesia and techniques used. Through or tiny incision, a narrow tube is inserted and used to vacuum the fat layer that lies deep beneath the skin. The cannula is then pushed and pulled through the fat layer, breaking up the fat cells and suctioning them out by a vacuum pump or a large syringe. The fluid lost along with the fat is replaced during the procedure to prevent shock. Under careful observation the patient receives intravenous fluids during and immediately after surgery.
Recovery:
After surgery as there will be fluid drainage from the incision a small drainage tube may be inserted beneath the skin for a few days to prevent fluid built-up. To control swelling a compression garment will be worn for a few weeks. Your doctor will prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection. You will experience some pain burning, swelling, bleeding, and temporary numbness. All this will subside with time; normal activity can be resumed only after several weeks.
