Vital Information On Liposuction Northwest Indiana Clients Need To Have

By Brenda Murphy


Liposuction (lipoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that is performed to change the distribution of body fat. Changing the distribution of fat effectively alters the shape of the body. Unwanted fat deposits are usually removed from various body parts such as the hips, the tummy, thighs and the neck among others. If they intend to have liposuction northwest Indiana residents need to understand a number of things.

It is recommend that this procedure be offered to persons that have tried other methods of losing fat but have been unsuccessful. They need to have a body mass index of at least 40 except if they have a cardiovascular or metabolic condition attributable to excessive weight. In this case, lower BMI values of between 35 and 40 are acceptable.

The preparation for the operation varies from case to case. In general, however, there are a number of things that you need to avoid so as to increase the chances of success. One of the habits to be stopped (at least for two months prior to and after the operation) is smoking. The nicotine found in tobacco delays wound healing. Other things to be avoided include aspirin and blood thinners. These increase the risk of bleeding.

You need to be aware of the limitations that exist. Contrary to a common misconception, liposuction is not a treatment for obesity. It also does not have benefits in managing cellulite or dimples. In one session, only 3 liters of fat can be removed safely from a region of the body. If there is a need to remove more than this, additional procedures should be scheduled.

There are several techniques that may be used in achieving liposuction. Tumescent lipoplasty involves the use of local anesthesia in the operation. Injecting this anesthetic not only helps reduce the associated pain but also significantly minimizes blood loss by constricting blood vessels. Suction assisted lipoplasty is another popular technique. As the name success, the main feature of this technique is the suctioning of liquefied fat cells. The use of ultrasound and laser are other alternatives.

A number of limitations to this procedure exist. It is important to point out that the surgery cannot be used for the management of obesity, cellulite or dimples. In any one session, there is a limit as to the amount of fat that can be removed from one region. This is roughly 3 liters. In some regions, fat removal leaves loose skin that requires further tightening.

The complications arising from this operation are rare. Immediate complications may include bleeding, damage to adjacent structures, infections and reactions to the anesthetic drugs used. Talk to your doctor if you get any of these complications. In the long term, the commonly encountered complications include unsatisfactory results and hideous scar tissues. Additional procedures are needed in some cases.

Technically, the results obtained through lipoplasty are permanent. If one fails to observe healthy lifestyle practices the problem may recur. Regular physical activity and a healthy diet are a necessity. Bear in mind that pregnancy and old age may lead to some fat accumulation but these can be easily lost through diet modification and exercise.
