Know All About Plastic Surgeries That Reduce Fat

The field of cosmetic surgery has evolved to be a hugely profitable sector especially in the last decade. The popularity of plastic surgeries or cosmetic surgeries has come from the Hollywood tinsel town but today it has gained popularity among urban men and women. There are three types of plastic surgeries that are hugely popular both in terms of the success rate and the number of procedures conducted globally. These are Botox injections (derma fillers), breast augmentation and liposuction. For reduction of fat, liposuction and tummy tuck are two of the most popular procedures undertaken. 

Liposuction

 

Liposuction is a fat removal procedure where excess fat deposition is removed from certain specified areas of the body so that the body gets a certain shape and contour. The different parts of the body where this treatment is conducted are namely abdomen, waist, buttocks, thighs, hips, back, neck and arms. There are different types of liposuction that are in vogue. 

• Traditional Liposuction: The traditional method of liposuctionused a powerful pump for suction which was attached to a thin steel tube which was called cannula. This suction pump was inserted through the skin through a small incision done on the area where one intended to remove fat. Fluid was injected in the fatty area and the fat eventually broke part. This method was considered to be quite effective but it came with its own risks due to which other methods of liposuction were introduced.

• Ultrasound Liposuction: Ultrasound waves are emitted through a special cannula in the specified fat area and in the process the fats are liquified and removed.

• Tumescent Liposuction: A solution is prepared which combines fat enlargers, blood vessel shrinking properties and pain killers and together they are injected in the specified fat area in large amounts.

• Lipo Selection: Emulsification of fat tissues takes place with the help of ultrasound waves but before the fat is removed it is broken up with the help of lipo selection probe. This process is much safer as the fat is taken out through the liposuction tubes and the surrounding nerves, blood vessels are unaffected.

• Laser Liposuction: Two types of laser liposuction are in vogue where laser is used to lose the fat cells and they are eventually eliminated from the body. Cool Lipo is specially conducted on areas like arms, underneath the chins, jowls and neck where minimal insertion of injections are applied for fat removal. Slim lipo is a method where the small insertions are used to remove fat by melting it much before it is removed, making the process less painful.

Tummy Tuck

It is a method of fat removal where fat is removed from specified area and the resultant loose skin is tightened to give a smooth contour to the physical feature. 

Hi! I am Ann Lopez, a PhD student in microbiology. I was choosing between liposonix vs. liposuction as i did not want to go for traditional liposuction. After liposonix three months back now I feel very happy and satisfied by the way I look.
