subject: Liposuction Requires The Surgeon To Have An Artistic Eye For Accurate Results [print this page] Liposuction does not require a lot of technical accuracy. For the most part it is a rather simple procedure. What it does take, however, that is key is thoughtful planning and an artistic eye to achieve the best results.
The procedure takes some finesse because the surgeon must not just remove the fat he must remove it in a way that will allow the body contour to be attractive. It takes some precision to make sure the transition is smooth between the suctioned and nonsuctioned areas. The best results have been mapped out for accuracy.
Careful planning includes choosing the best patients who are properly suited for liposuction. They also include proper surgical techniques that are available to avoid contour irregularity. The patent should also be well informed and prepared for the surgery to avoid postoperative complications.
With the variety of different techniques available for the surgical removal of fat today liposuction has evolved over several decades. From traditional methods to tumescent and superwet methods and then to power-assisted methods and more recently laser-assisted liposuction each one has provided new technology. The amount of blood loss is much less and the procedures are safer.
All of this has made the removal of a larger amount of fat possible. However, a large amount of fat is still risky. It requires a very complex look at the situation and the patient must be physiologically able to handle the situation.
With the market for these types of procedures growing rapidly it has made an unfortunate increase of inadequately trained surgeons. These surgeons are barely able to handle the extraction of a small amount of fat. When they try to extract a larger volume minor complications alone can become life threatening for the patient.
However, when experienced and highly trained surgeons perform large volume liposuction it has been known to be a very safe and productive procedure. The idea of how much is a large amount of fat to be removed is different for many people and surgeon.
Some surgeons have determined that a large volume around 4 liters of fat or the amount of fat and solution removed at one time. Most complications result from fluid shifts and fluid balance. The total volume should really be classified as the total amount of fat, fluid, and blood removed during the procedure. Overall, most surgeons define a large amount at 5 liters of total volume removed from the patients body.
