Will Liposuction Give Me Weird Scars And Blemishes?

More and more people are getting liposuction (also referred to as lipoplasty and suction lipectomy)

. The surgery is extremely popular throughout America and throughout the world. In the United States, hundreds of thousands of people undergo the surgery every year.

The surgery, which uses suction to help remove excess and unwanted fat from specific areas on a person's body, is popular for a number of reasons. It is less traumatic than many other forms of cosmetic surgery, and it is also frequently less expensive than many other forms of cosmetic surgery.

However, a number of people are concerned about possible scarring or blemishing resulting from their liposuctions. This article will address the sorts of scarring and blemishing the lipoplasty patients can expect.

Luckily, lipoplasty usually causes very little by way of scarring. In a lipoplasty, all of the fat is broken up and removed through a tiny hollow tube called a cannula. These tiny tubes frequently measure only millimeters in diameter, which means that the incisions that they are inserted through can be similarly small.

This all means that a lipectomy typically only leaves behind very tiny scars, which are usually very light and hard to see. People with dark, deeply pigmented skin may find that their scars are somewhat more visible. However, in all people, these scars tend to fade with time.

Occasionally a lipectomy will leave behind skin blemishes that are not actual scarring. Like any surgery, a lipoplasty involves some amount of trauma to the body and to the skin. As a result of this, sometimes the skin at the surgical site will respond in unusual ways. One thing that sometimes happens is the production of spots which are either hyper- or hypo-pigmented. These spots will be either darker or lighter than the surrounding skin. Like true scars, these spots tend to fade and may disappear with time, although they tend to disappear more quickly in light-skinned patients.

In addition to these cosmetic problems, there are some aesthetic problems that a liposuction can exacerbate. For example, if a person has a large amount of excess skin in an area, removing fat through a lipoplasty could produce additional excess skin. A lipoplasty may also worsen existing problems with cellulite.

If you would like to know more about lipoplasty and the possible positive and negative affects that it could have on your appearance, please consider speaking with a cosmetic surgeon in your area. Many surgeons offer free consultations to potentially interested patients, and these can be a great way to learn more.
