There are no special medical indications for the mechanical removal of fat from the body. The only indicator is the patient`s desire to become slimmer and more attractive. Of course, it`s better not to get fat. But if this has happened, and there is no desire (or time) to gradually lose weight in the gym, then the shortest way is to a plastic surgeon.

With the help of liposuction , it is removed:

• cellulite;
• gynecomastia;
• subcutaneous lipomas;
• bryli and the "second" chin;
• local fat deposits on the buttocks, abdomen, sides, arms and thighs.

However, not every fat can be removed with liposuction. There are several types of obesity.

• Subcutaneous fat. It is also called superficial. It spoils the shape of the figure, is localized in women on the hips, buttocks, around the waist and on the tummy. It is not difficult to remove such fat. Operations have been performed all over the world for a long time and without complications.
• A deep layer of fat. It is located under the muscle tissues and is most often not operable. The way out is strict nutrition and sports training.
• Internal fat. If you`ve ever butchered a chicken, you`ve probably met dense lumps around the liver, stomach, and lower abdomen. A classic example of internal fat is the "beer" belly in men. It is possible to "get" the problem only operationally during a serious abdominal operation.
• Morbid obesity should be singled out separately. This is a life-threatening phenomenon, most often associated with hereditary dyslipidemia. In morbid obesity, body weight is increased by more than 50% compared to its ideal values.

Items from the second to the fourth are the subject of a separate analysis and are not treated with liposuction. Our article is about the first type of fat and ways to get rid of it quickly.

For the record. Liposuction is not included in the list of free operations under the CHI policy. This means that it can only be done on a paid basis. However, for the severe stage of obesity, which is a consequence of type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as for people with morbid obesity, when the body mass index (BMI) is ≥40 kg/m2, the state medical insurance fund guarantees payment for bariatric operations.

Let`s make a reservation right away that not everyone, even with the first type of obesity, is shown liposuction. If the patient has become fat against the background of diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism or other diseases of the endocrine system, no doctor will undertake the operation.

What else is a contraindication:

• vascular diseases;
• heart failure and other heart defects;
• high blood pressure (hypertension);
• non-coagulability of blood;
• chronic liver and kidney diseases;
• pregnancy, breastfeeding;
• the presence of a pacemaker;
• oncology has been diagnosed.

Liposuction is contraindicated for young people under 18 years of age. At this age, the body is still being formed, the hormonal background is unstable, the metabolic processes are adjusted and fat deposits can be eliminated with the help of a diet and a gym.

It is impossible to undergo fat pumping operations and some areas on the body. Due to the density of blood vessels and nerve nodes located in them, the front part of the thighs, lower leg, back to the lower back are not suitable for lipomodeling.

Liposuction is an operation for local correction of body lines, removal of excessive fat. Most often, the abdomen, thighs, shoulders, and neck liposuction.

Let`s list the currently known species.

The main difference between the surgical methods of removing fat deposits is the method of destruction of adipocytes (fat cells).

The principle of this medical procedure is a simple suction of deposits from under the skin by vacuum. An incision is made over the local fat deposit, a cannula is inserted into it and a vacuum device is turned on. The doctor`s movements resemble cleaning with a vacuum cleaner. The doctor fan-shaped manipulator drives, instead of dust and debris – fat.

The operation is painful and is performed under general anesthesia. Internal tissues are seriously damaged. The rehabilitation period is 7-10 days. Bruises and swelling after surgery are normal. A complication is considered to be local seroma (accumulation of fluid), the formation of a bruise or cyst, increased hyperesthesia. A serious, but extremely rare (1 case per 5 thousand operations) complication is considered to be a fat embolism, when the fat destroyed under the skin of the patient enters the circulatory system.

It is considered a kind of classic. However, there is one caveat. Klein`s solution (saline + lidocaine + adrenaline) is injected into the local fat layer. The liquid is named after its inventor Jeffrey Klein (an American dermatologist). Under the action of the drug, fat undergoes destruction and is more easily sucked out by vacuum. Doctors assure that tumescent liposuction is less traumatic than classical.

The same type of vacuum, but instead of the device, a syringe with a cannula is used. The volume of pumped fat during syringe liposuction is significantly less. This method is most often used for cervical liposuction, correction of the second chin or on the face.

Fat is still removed by a vacuum device through incisions with an inserted cannula, but its preliminary destruction under the skin occurs with the help of an ultrasonic wave. The technique is not applicable when removing belly fat in nulliparous women.

RF liposuction (RFAL) is a minimally invasive method of getting rid of local fat deposits. Another incision, another cannula. Destruction of adipocytes occurs under the influence of a closed thermal field. The RF wave is fed from a special manipulator through the surface of the skin. A special gel is used to avoid burns. Radiofrequency liposuction is an alternative to ultrasound if it is contraindicated for some reason.

The main difference between the vibration technique and the others is that the suction arm moves automatically, almost without the efforts of a doctor who only sets the direction. The vibration frequency of 6 thousand translational movements per minute is inaccessible to human capabilities, but the device does an excellent job: it breaks down fat deposits and brings them out. The technique is best suited for working in large areas. For example, liposuction of the abdomen, how much fat can be removed as much as possible? The answer is impressive – up to five liters per session.

The destruction of fat cells occurs under the influence of a laser. A thin probe is inserted into a small incision on the body, through which a directed beam of light destroys fat cells. Emulsified fat (aspirate) is excreted through a cannula.

Types of liposuction	Positive	Minuses
Classic	The maximum possible removal of fat in one operation is up to 10 liters Relatively inexpensive price	It is considered one of the most traumatic liposuction Use of general anesthesia Long recovery period
Tumescent	The ability to remove up to 5 liters of fat Relatively short recovery period Inexpensive price	Quite traumatic, although less so than the classic Complications in the form of bruises, bruises and bruises
Syringe	The possibility of spot work on a small area Blood vessels are not damaged Performing surgery under local anesthesia Suitable for people with thin skin The possibility of instant use of the patient`s own fat to correct local cosmetic deficiencies	No more than 0.5 liters of fat is pumped out as much as possible Is a narrowly focused operation It requires high precision and skill of a plastic surgeon
Ultrasonic	Up to 5 liters of aspirate is pumped out Lower risk of bleeding, swelling and hematomas Lack of general anesthesia	It is not used on the abdomen of unborn women, and also requires a comprehensive examination of internal organs
Radio frequency	Minor risk of bleeding Lack of general anesthesia	No more than 4 liters of fat is pumped out per session Significant heating of the skin, burns are possible
Vibration	Up to 5 liters per session The surgeon puts less physical effort, concentrating on controlling the passage of the operation Fast healing	Unacceptable for work in the face area Noticeable irritating vibration A significant price tag for the procedure associated with the cost of a large, complex and expensive device
Laser	Impact accuracy Quick result Low traumatism, absence of hematomas and bruises due to "sealing" (cauterization) of blood vessels during surgery Reduced rehabilitation period	The maximum amount of fat removed is not more than 500 ml The high cost of the equipment, which affects the price of the procedure Strong dependence on the qualifications of the surgeon

Of course, the choice of one or another operation should be made only after a comprehensive examination of the body, and the doctor`s opinion should be decisive.

Summing up the analysis of operations to get rid of fat, it should be added that the most effective liposuction will be the one that is at the junction of techniques. For example, laser combined with vibration or vibration combined with tumescent. Binary and complex methods allow you to remove up to 30% more fat.

And one more important circumstance that should be taken into account. Often the extracted fat can be used for lipomodeling and lipofilling. That is, by removing something superfluous in one place, you can use natural material to correct the missing. The patient`s own fat, unlike filers, is not rejected by the body.

The story about liposuction will be incomplete if we do not briefly dwell on non-surgical techniques. Agree, not everyone is ready to lie down on the surgeon`s table for the sake of ten extra pounds. Start.

• Ultrasonic. Not to be confused with the operating room! The protocol of the procedure also includes the use of an ultrasonic wave, but everything goes without disturbing the skin. A high-temperature ultrasonic pulse is applied to a depth of up to 15 mm. On the square of the body, limited by the size of the head of the apparatus, fat cells are destroyed, breaking up into water, ammonia, etc. Subsequently, all this is excreted by the body in a natural way.
• Injection. A lipolytic cocktail is injected under the patient`s skin using a mesoinjector or a conventional syringe. It contains substances that have a fatal effect on the cell membranes of adipocytes. For example, sodium deoxycholate. The fat cell is broken down into its component parts and is excreted by the body in the usual way. Injectable liposuction can only be entrusted to an experienced doctor, who must inject the cocktail exclusively to a given depth and exclusively into the local fat deposit.
• LPG massage. The widely known technique of vacuum roller massage, invented by the French doctor Louis Paul Gitel and named by his initials. The device of the same name is a vacuum installation with multidirectional manipulators that "capture" a skin area with signs of obesity and mechanically "crush" subcutaneous fat. The destroyed fat is excreted from the body independently. The disadvantages of the method include some swelling of the skin immediately after mechanical action.

Interesting facts. LPG is actively used as an additional procedure in the rehabilitation process after surgical liposuction. The technique is also actively used in sports rehabilitation medicine.

Society aggressively dictates beauty standards to us, bringing forward the thin and slender. Meanwhile, the attitude towards people who strive for the set standards and have gone through the liposuction procedure is skeptical. "He`s divorced, he can`t restrain himself," some will say. "It would be better to go to the gym," others will quip. It is because of this attitude that people who have decided on a fat pumping operation try to hide this fact. A suddenly built-up body is presented as a result of a trip "to the seas".

With the development of medical tourism, it became possible to really go on vacation, combining business with pleasure. Moreover, the price tag, which includes, in addition to medical care, a week-long recovery period, will be quite humane. Type in the search engine "liposuction of the sides price" or "liposuction of the abdomen price" and you will see a lot of offers from countries where such operations are put on stream. In particular, in Turkey, customers are offered not only women`s, but also men`s liposuction, the price of which is one of the most competitive in the world.

Therefore, do not postpone your desires for later!

• What is the full recovery period after liposuction?

The recovery period depends on the method of fat removal and its amount. In addition, the recovery period can be strongly influenced by the age and physical condition of the patient. On average, bruises and bruises go away within a week to a month. All this time it is necessary to wear compression underwear and follow the recommendations for the care of damaged tissues.

• What is the maximum amount of fat that can be pumped out in one operation?

It depends on the weight and height of the patient. On average, 2 to 4 liters are pumped out in one operation. The maximum recommended volume is 5 liters.

• What should I do if the volume of fat is much larger than that recommended for removal in one operation?

It is necessary to understand that liposuction is, first of all, an operation to correct the shortcomings of the figure. The so-called fat traps are removed - local deposits. It is not recommended to exceed the volume of 5 liters. It is better to do a series of operations with an interval of six months.
