Liposculpture, in the past few decades, has become one of the most sought after cosmetic surgeries. In 2006, this surgery held the record for the most performed plastic surgery in that year. This procedure has especially become popular in the entertainment industry. Everyday there is some tabloid on our grocery store shelves pointing out some of the good and bad liposculpture operations performed on celebrities.
First performed by American surgeons in Italy in 1974, liposculpture quickly became the more expensive but quick alternative to diet and exercise. Liposculpture involves a long, hallow tube that is inserted into the fat layer of skin through a small incision. The tube is connected to a machine that applies suction to the tube and allows the surgeon to literally suck the fat right out of a patient. The most common, and possibly only safe, areas to perform this procedure are the back of the arms, legs, chest, abdomen, buttocks, and neck.
Although this type of procedure can be harmful to the body, there have been advancements to the devices used have lowered the risk of injuries. Such advancements are tubes that have ultrasonic vibrations that break fat cell walls to make the suction easier. Another example is tubes that have a mechanized movement so that the surgeon has to do less moving of the tube, which would cause less damage.
A surgeon must first make sure the patient is a good candidate for liposculpture. Good candidates include anyone over the age of eighteen and in good health. Bad candidates include: persons who have a significant heart condition, who have diabetes, or who have any type of infection.
For health concern reasons the patient cannot be smoking for a certain amount of time before liposculpture, or eat any food before a certain time before the procedure. Even after the surgery the patient is highly recommended to follow the doctor's orders very strictly. Such restrictions include keeping the bandages for a specified time or not doing any strenuous work. Not abiding to these restriction can lead to further complications that could be life threatening.
With any surgery can come any type of complications. Liposculpture can be strongly associated with infections, especially where incision is made, or the skin could not properly form over the new body shape, which would need further surgery to permanently fix this problem.
Liposculpture is not a surgery one would want to get without knowing exactly how everything is done. With all of the possible complications, it is still one of the most popular cosmetic procedures to date. This is so because technology is advancing everyday, and these procedures are no longer so expensive that only the rich and famous can have them performed. Liposculpture is a procedure that needs to be taken very seriously and should not be performed on someone who is uneducated about its process. - 30516
