What You Need To Know About Northwest Indiana Liposuction

By Kathleen Snyder


Basically, liposuction is a procedure that reshapes and slims certain parts of the body by getting rid of excess fat deposits, hence improving proportion and contours of your body. The techniques can be used to reduce the localized fat deposits in various body parts such as thighs, abdomen, and waist, upper arms, back, as well as hips and buttocks. Other areas are such as chest area, neck, cheeks, and chin. Through Northwest Indiana liposuction, the technique can be used alone or with other plastic surgery procedures.

This procedure involves removing fat using suction. Small, thin and bunt-tipped cannulas are used, and they are inserted into your body through tiny cuts on the skin. The doctor then suctions fat through the tubes under the skin. As technology advances, more improved techniques have made the procedure easier, less painful, and safer.

Various techniques may be applied in undertaking liposuction. One such-like technique is tumescent liposuction. Under this technique, regions having the tube inserted are numbed with local anesthetics. Before the procedure, the anesthesia is injected to the fat-filled tissues. The anesthetic solution has epinephrine and lidocaine. Through this technique, general anesthetics may never be needed.

Other techniques applied include the laser-aided liposuction as well as ultrasounds. Under the ultrasound techniques, fats are liquefied to enhance easy removal. The technique is generally ideal for the removal of fats from the back, upper abdomen, and sides. Under the laser-aided technique, waves at low energies are used in liquefying the fats before a tiny cannula is inserted to take away the fat. This procedure is done under outpatient and has no need for admission into the wards overnight apart from when large quantities of fat are withdrawn. Where large fat volumes are removed, the physician can apply general anesthesia or some deep sedation combined with local anesthesia.

After the procedure, the point where fat was removed is wrapped firmly to protect it from bruising, swelling, and pain. The doctor may use elastic bandages and tape, a special girdle, support hose, and other firm-filling garments. You may also be required to wear the wrap for about 3-4 weeks. Also, bruising and swelling may be experienced during the first 7-10 days after the procedure.

In most cases, patients are able to get up as well as move around soon after the treatment is over, and the effects of sedative and anesthetic have worn off. A patient can also resume normal activities as long as he or she is comfortable, but this may take several days. The recovery process can take longer, especially if large areas were involved.

In most cases, this treatment is used with an aim of reshaping a number of areas of the body. However, it does not cut down the body weight of a patient. It is commonly applied to the specific areas, which show no response to diet and even exercise.

This procedure have been found to be effective in reducing fat in small areas. Right after the procedure, some improvement in your body contour is noted. However, if you regain weight after the procedure, the fatty bulges may return or appear in a different area.
