According to Medline Plus Medical Dictionary, liposuction is the removal of excess fat from the body by the absorption of special surgical instruments, usually performed by a plastic surgeon. With the removal of excess fat from the body, the body's appearance improves and separates the distorted body parts. Breasts, buttocks, abdomen, and facial area are some of the most popular body parts for liposuction surgery. The main reason people use liposuction is because of cosmetic reasons. They want to get rid of "love handles", unwanted fat bumps, irregular chin line, etc. Liposuction also helps to improve function by reducing the deposit deposits on the inner thighs, thus allowing easy access to the Another reason for liposuction is the inaccessible body composition through diet and / or exercise. Warning, liposuction is not a cure for obesity. Liposuction is not as easy as going to a doctor and telling him, "I want liposuction right now." People who want to undergo liposuction must meet certain conditions: 1) There must be an initial consultation. These include patient history, complete physical examination, and mental health assessments; 2) There should be a second consultation to give the patient time to consider planned liposuction surgery; 3) If the patient is married, the presence of a partner may be required during the consultation; 4) The patient should ask questions about liposuction, state the reasons for the consultation, and should feel satisfied with the answers to their questions; 5) The patient should fully understand the arrangements for pre-surgical liposuction, liposuction procedures, and direct post-surgical liposuction care to avoid fatal complications; 6) The patient should have realistic expectations. Liposuction improves body image and boosts self-esteem but will never result in a perfect body. Because liposuction is a medical procedure, there are risks involved. Some of the possible complications of liposuction are: * Loss of fluid due to excess fluid during liposuction and / or excess fluid injection during removal can cause shock, heart problems, or kidney problems. * Infection occurs after any surgery and some doctors prescribe antibiotics to patients who are liposuction so it is important to keep the wound clean. Bacteria may be life-threatening such as necrotizing fasciitis (tissue-eating bacteria) or toxic shock syndrome caused by surgery-related germs. * Embolism occurs when small fat globes are trapped in the bloodstream and block blood flow to the muscle. This can result in permanent disability. Symptoms of pulmonary embolism are shortness of breath or shortness of breath. * Drug reactions or overdose of lidocaine are fatal. Lidocaine is a drug that causes numbness in the skin and large doses of this are used during liposuction. The side effects of lidocaine are lightheadedness, restlessness, drowsiness, slurred speech, muscle spasms, and convulsions. Overdose of this drug may cause the heart to stop which is dangerous in nature. * Burns caused by ultrasound probe during ultrasound assisting liposuction. * Visceral piercings or piercing wounds may require further surgery and may be fatal. During liposuction, the doctor does not see where the probe (canula) is, so it is possible to damage the internal organs. * Disease of the skin (skin necrosis) occurs when the skin changes color and falls off. This can also cause infection. * Paresthesias is a changed sensation in the area of liposuction. This may be in the form of increased sensitivity to the area or loss of feeling. Some cases of this are permanent. * Inflammation * Death Since surgery did not have major complications, recovery from liposuction surgery can still be difficult. The area covered by liposuction appears larger than before due to inflammation. Special pressure clothing should be worn for two to three weeks to reduce inflammation, bleeding, and to help rejuvenate the body. The patient begins to feel better a week or two after liposuction. Walking is recommended after liposuction to prevent blood clots in the legs. Lastly, exercise and diet will help maintain your new status.
