What You Need To Know About Northwest Indiana Liposuction

By Kathleen Snyder


Liposuction essentially is a procedure, which slims and reshapes body parts by removing the excess deposits of fats, therefore improving the contours and proportion of the body. The techniques may be used in reducing localized fat deposits from various parts of the body like the abdomen, waist, thighs, back, hips, buttocks and upper arms. Other regions like the chest, cheeks, chin, and neck. Northwest Indiana liposuction is a technique that can be solely used or combined with other plastic surgery treatments.

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 that can be used are laser and ultrasound assisted liposuction. With the ultrasound-assisted technique, fat is liquefied with the ultrasound which makes it easier to remove. The technique is usually suitable for removing fat from back, sides, and upper abdomen. On the other hand, the laser technique uses low-energy waves to liquefy fat which is then removed using small tubes. Normally, this procedure is outpatient, and the patient is not required to stay overnight in the hospital unless large volume of fat is being removed. If large volumes of fat are removed, your doctor may use a deep sedation with a local anesthesia or a general anesthetic.

When the procedure is completed, the places through which fats are removed are firmly wrapped to prevent bruises, pain, and swelling. The physician will use elastic tapes and bandages, support hose, special girdle and other dressing garments. The doctor can also recommend wraps dressed for around 3 to 4 weeks. Again, swelling and bruises can develop in the first 7 to 10 days following 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.
