Liposuction in the hands is the removal of excess fat surgically. It is often based on the state of the shoulder
area that a conclusion is made about a person`s complexion. The liposuction procedure will help to make a clear
relief and restore skin tone. Hands will become thinner and more attractive.
Indications and contraindications to the procedure
Like any surgical operation, it has indications and prohibitions. Let`s look at everything in more detail.
Indications
- Surgical correction of the hands is indicated in such cases:
- adipose veins on the forearms or shoulders;
- disproportionality in relation to other parts of the body;
- too saggy and flabby skin in this area.
Contraindications
In this case, the key prohibitions are similar to the contraindications of general liposuction:
- allergy to anesthesia;
- blood clotting disorder or taking appropriate medications;
- exacerbation of chronic pathologies or acute infections. Need a doctor`s consultation;
- obesity of 2 or 3 degrees;
- oncology.
There are also temporary prohibitions in the presence of inflammation or injury in the area of surgery.
Liposuction
is categorically not done for people under the age of 21, over 65, and pregnant or nursing.
Types of hand liposuction
There are several types of liposuction at once, each of which has its own characteristics.
Laser
The operation is performed with a special laser. It heats and literally melts fat deposits, which are then
removed
by vacuum suction. The method is effective, but it also has a significant disadvantage. It heats, among other
things, non-fatty tissues. And this can cause burns and even hemorrhages.
Ultrasonic
Fat deposits are eliminated by ultrasonic waves. But even here there were some disadvantages. This method also
affects not only adipose tissue, but also muscle and even nerve. Therefore, the method is not recommended for
armpits and other sensitive areas.
Nutation
Small punctures are made in the skin, through which the tip of a special device is inserted. It generates up to
6
thousand vibrations per minute. Thus, fat deposits are destroyed, while not harming blood vessels and other
tissues.
An additional advantage of the technique is that it is not traumatic and at the same time allows you to remove
both
surface and deep layers of fat. The method is safe even for small clusters.
How is liposuction of hands
Immediately before the operation, the patient should prepare. Give up bad habits, avoid stress. It is also
advisable
to temporarily remove fatty and spicy foods from the diet, reduce the amount of salt.
Operation progress
Before starting, it is important to consult an anesthesiologist and a plastic surgeon. The procedure is always
performed in the morning on an empty stomach. During the day, you can not use deodorant irritating soap and
cosmetics.
The procedure takes place in several steps:
- Hands mark up and take pictures.
- Local anesthesia is performed.
If necessary, punctures are made in the area of the shoulders and forearms to gain access to fat deposits.
Fat liposuction begins. The procedure is performed in one of the ways prescribed by the
surgeon. They differ from
each other only by the method of exposure to adipose tissue.
Fat is being pumped out. This is done by a special vacuum suction. It is noteworthy that this stage is not
required
if the operating area is small. In this case, the dissolved fat is absorbed by the circulatory and lymphatic
systems.
Next, it is necessary to suture the punctures through which surgical instruments were inserted.
If liposuction was performed by ultrasound, then incisions and subsequent suturing are not required, since the
method is non-surgical. But at the same time, it is powerless with large volumes of fat, which requires several
procedures to remove.
Duration
The surgical intervention itself takes no more than an hour and a half. However, the duration may increase to an
average of two hours if hand liposuction is combined with another liposuction option. For example:
- brachioplasty;
- liposuction in other areas of the body;
- lipomodeling.
Recovery period after liposuction
The rehabilitation period is quite short. But this is easily explained by the use of only local anesthesia and
the
overall minimal trauma of the operation.
Immediately after the procedure is completed, the doctor will provide professional recommendations that will
help
you recover without problems. There are individual moments, but among the general tips is avoiding a lot of
physical
activity, temporarily refusing to take hot baths or stay in the hot sun, as well as limiting alcohol and
cigarettes.
In some cases, the doctor may prescribe the wearing of compression clothing. However, there is no need to worry
–
all recommendations will need to be implemented no more than three weeks.
Possible complications
This operation has many nuances. Therefore, there are different arms liposuction reviews.
Although most of them are
positive. The fact is that the skin in this part of the hands is quite thin and there are many nerve fibers
located
there. Therefore, the surgeon requires literally jewelry precision. But still, in some cases, minor
complications
may develop. They are usually expressed in the appearance of bruises or temporary loss of skin sensitivity. In
addition, the site of the operation may become inflamed if the patient does not comply with medical
recommendations.
Performance
Preliminary results can be seen almost immediately after the completion of the operation. But a more obvious
effect
will become noticeable after a couple of weeks, when the skin tightens and the postoperative edema completely
subsides. The final effect can be seen in 2-3 months. The remnants of melted fat will finally leave the body by
that
time, the skin will become more elastic and regain its tone.
