When it comes to cosmetic surgery, you'd better believe that liposculpture treatments continue to be an extremely popular method of physical and self improvement. Commonly referred to by its cousin names of liposuction or even lipoplasty, this technique for taking fat from the body permanently has about 400,000 raving fans each year. That is to say, ever year nearly half a million people get liposculpture treatments to remove unwanted fat. This makes it the most popular form of cosmetic surgery, year after year.
This article will address the basic facts when it comes to liposculpture. This is aimed at anyone who is considering the use of such treatments in order to lose weight and improve the appearance of their physique.
Breaking the word down, we can see how "liposculpture" came to be used as an apt description for this fat removing technique. Lipo is a prefix for lipid, which is another word for fat. Sculpture, in this case, refers to the body sculpting techniques used to smooth the skin and improve the overall appearance of the area treated by the surgeons!
The surgery itself is relatively simple in how it's done. Incisions are carefully marked into the skin. Following them, the doctors create an entry way into the body, then insert what is know as a cannula into the flesh. Guiding it to the fat, taking care not to poke organs or rupture any blood vessels, the cannula is used to break up the unwanted fat and then suck it up, almost like a vacuum cleaner sucking dirt out of a carpet, removing it from the body.
The whole point of the surgery then is for a patient to shed some body fat. This makes it sound like the greatest weight loss solution ever invented! The irony though is that doctors are careful to note that this is not a weight loss technique, and not just anyone can stroll in and get it done. A patient must be in good standing health, preferably be thin and already leading a healthy lifestyle. A patient must also abstain from smoking before coming in for surgery.
Also note that the average amount of fat removed is just shy of 10 pounds. This is not a huge amount of fat, meaning that this is no cure or remedy for obesity. Taking out more fat than this from the body exposes the patient to all sorts of risks, and is rarely done.
Liposculpture patients are usually in and out in a matter of hours. Most patients can even drive themselves home after surgery, a rare perk when it comes to being operated on, as usually you need someone else to see after you for safety for the next few hours or day or two. But while recovery in that sense is very quick, expect it to takes 3 or more months for swelling and scarring to heal up. After that though, you should be very happy with your new body! - 30516
