Is liposuction the way to fat loss?

Another very popular cosmetic treatment to remove excess fat is liposuction; usually in the thighs, buttocks and abdominal areas, although it is not a weight loss treatment. The only problem with this procedure is that sometimes the fat returns some time later; unfortunately this usually occurs in a different area - one that was possibly fat free before!

If you are planning to have the treatment you will probably be offered one of two common methods, Ultrasonic or tumescent although there are others. The latest of these methods; Tumescent, has in a short space of time become one of the most popular forms of cosmetic enhancement in the USA today.

With this technique, a smaller tube is used to remove the fat which helps limit the amount of bruising which normally occurs. Virtually every patient to date has found the tumescent liposuction technique to be less painful, provides better results with more rapid healing and recovery.

Ultrasonic liposuction offers smoother results than traditional liposuction and it is more effective in treating the awkward, fibrous areas including the upper back.

The problem with the conventional treatment is the surgeon has trouble seeing where the probe is located in the body so it is possible for internal organs to be damaged if extreme care is not taken.

The danger from side effects using liposuction although rare, still exist so if you are unsure about the process, consult your cosmetic surgeon. In order to minimize the danger, patients will have a medical to ensure their health is good so the chances of complications are reduced. With any medical procedure there is the risk of infection so surgeons have to ensure all wounds are kept clean and prescribe a course of antibiotics to patients having this cosmetic treatment. Techniques in cosmetic surgery have moved forward in leaps and bounds especially in the field of fat removal.

Lipo Dissolve is a type of liposuction which basically involves a series of minuscule injections of chemicals which dissolve localized areas of fat deposits. One other benefit of Lipo Dissolve is that it does not require any form of anesthesia and patients feel almost no pain whatsoever.
