I'd Like to Get Liposuction, But First I Want to Know How it Actually Works


Liposuctions are becoming more and more common, and new techniques are being invented every year. The field of Laser-assisted liposuction is growing especially rapidly, with a number of different companies devloping different lasers for the surgery, such as SmartLipo, ProLipo, CoolLipo, LipoLite, and LipoTherme. However, most people still don't really understand what happens during the procedure. This results in some people making uninformed choices when they choose whether or not to undergo this surgery.

Many people wonder what getting a liposuction is really like. What happens on the day of the surgery? How is a liposuction actually performed? This article will attempt to answer, in brief, these questions. Of course, one's liposuction experience will vary greatly depending on the doctor that you choose, the technique that he or she uses and the area that you wish to have fat removed from. This article will explain what a tumescent liposuction might be like, because tumescent liposuction is the most commonly performed technique today.

A number of things will already be decided long before the day of your liposuction. You will have spoken with your doctor and planned what target areas the doctor will suction fat from. Your doctor will likely have prescribed an antibiotic that will help you avoid infections. Before the day of your liposuction, you will want to arrange for someone to drive you to and from your appointment, given that you may be unable to drive after the procedure is performed.

After you arrived for your appointment, you will be prepped for surgery. The physician will make markings on your body as guidelines for where he or she will remove the fat. When the time for surgery has come, the surgeon will numb the target area with local anesthetics and will inject large quantities of liquid to make the fat firm and easier to remove.

When you are fully numbed, the doctor will make an incision in the area so that he can insert a hollow needle called a cannula into the target area. This cannula will suction out your unwanted fat. While you are under surgery, the doctor will monitor you to make sure that you don't lose too much water; if you are losing too many fluids, they will be replaced through an IV.

When you are finished with your surgery, you may well be able to go home directly afterward. If the surgery has been a large one, or if there have been complications, you may need to spend a night at the hospital or surgical center before returning home.

When you return home, you will need to wear compression garments to aid in the healing process. Fluids will probably drain from the incision sites for several days to a week after the surgery. You will probably experience some swelling and bruising, but this should go down in the following weeks or months. As you begin to heal, you will be able to see the results of your surgery. Remember that you will probably not see the total optimum results of your surgery for up to six months after your surgery.

All of this is only general information, however. The specifics of your surgery will depend a lot on your individual circumstances. One good way to find out more about liposuction is to visit with a doctor in your area. In a free consultation, he or she can tell you about how he or she performs liposuction and what you can expect from it.
