A General Overview Of Liposuction

Liposuction is the removal of fat cells from the body

. it can be done alone, or in conjunction with other plastic surgery procedures. Advances in liposuction over the past decade have mad it much safer than it once was, and it remains one of the most popular and safe body contouring procedures available.

Liposuction is performed under general or local anesthesia. Either way, you will not be in any pain during the procedure. After you have been administered anesthesia, your doctor will suck the fat out of the areas being treated with a vacuum like surgical tool. They do this by first injecting fluids into the area being treated. Then, tiny incisions are made so the surgical suction tool can remove the unwanted fat cells. The incisions made are so small that they typical don"t require actual sutures, in most cases they are covered with gauze or surgical tape.

After you have liposuction you will likely have some minor discomfort, along with some bruising and swelling. Often, doctors require patients to wear a girdle or compression garment after surgery to help minimize bruising and swelling. The compression garment also helps promote healing, and it forces the blood vessels to absorb the fluids that were added during the liposuction procedure.

There are a number of risks associated with liposuction. The risks of liposuction would include infection, blood clot, fat clot, fluid loss, shock, friction burns, nerve damage, organ damage and in extreme cases death. Many of the risks of liposuction can be minimized by limiting the amount of liposuction you have in one procedure.

The cost of liposuction varies greatly because it depends heavily upon the area being treated. On average patients spend between $1,500 to $7,500 on body contouring with liposuction. Cost is also affected by the skill of the surgeon and the geographic location you are having the procedure.
