Features of the liposuction procedure
Liposuction - the mechanical removal of adipose tissue using punctures on human skin - has been known for nearly
a
hundred years. In 1921 such an attempt was made, failed. But since 1974, thanks to the Italian Fisher,
liposuction has been successfully used in many clinics around
the world.
How it all began
In 1921, there was the first, unfortunately, tragedy, case of surgical intervention for the aesthetic purpose of
body correction. In various sources, the name of the French doctor Dujarier is called, who performed an
operation on
his ballerina patient to remove fat in the knee area. A large vessel was damaged, and the leg had to be
amputated.
In 1974, the Italian Fischer repeated his attempt to improve his shape using the example of his wife. He, like
Dujarier, used a gynecological curette. His simple devices (vacuum suction, rotating scalpel with an electric
drive
- a prototype of a modern cannula) helped to achieve a successful result. The hollow tube with a movable blade
used
by him carried out fan-shaped and translational movements, mechanically destroying the adipose tissue. This
principle has become fundamental to the classical method of liposuction, slightly modified over the years.
Since 1977, the technique has become much safer for patients thanks to the use of a blunt cannula. The need for
subsequent blood transfusion and long rehabilitation has disappeared.
Today liposuction is recognized by the World Association of Plastic Surgeons as a procedure that is necessary
for a
person and society. Standards have been developed that define the required qualifications, the availability of
certificates, certificates from plastic surgeons.
Classification of species
There are several types of surgery for the equipment used, the method of influencing the subcutaneous fatty
tissue.
-
The classic standard version is produced using a vacuum apparatus. The surgeon makes incisions in the
patient`s skin
through which the end of the cannula is inserted. The other side of this hollow tube is connected to a fat
suction
apparatus.
-
Tumescent liposuction is less traumatic and more effective in comparison with the classic. Before the
operation, an
anesthetic, saline and vasoconstrictor drugs are injected into the marked area. Fat cells are separated from
the
connective tissue.
-
Liposuction using ultrasound transmitted through a tube placed in the fat layer. Fat cells are destroyed,
turning
into liquid. It is removed using a vacuum suction.
-
The 3D liposuction technique allows you to create a balanced, beautiful body without sagging tissues. Fat
deposits
are removed not only from the deep, but also from the surface layers of the skin. The fourth generation
ultrasound
apparatus acts pointwise on the liposuction zones without damaging the skin, blood vessels, muscles. The
skin looks
smooth, even, without bruises. Fat cells are removed completely, which minimizes the occurrence of
recurrence of fat
accumulation. This guarantees a long lasting result. In one ultrasound session, it is possible to remove up
to 8
liters of fat, which makes it possible to recommend it even to very obese patients.
-
Radio wave liposuction is performed using a radio wave apparatus. Cannulas are inserted into the marked
area. 2
electrodes are connected to them. The inner electrode is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue. The external
one is
used as a temperature sensor and for directing radiation through the skin. The temperature is controlled by
a
computer. It stops the impulse when it reaches a critical point. Radiofrequency breaks down fat and removes
it.
Thanks to this procedure, the patient needs a minimum of time to recover. There are no marks on the skin, it
looks
tightened and elastic, like after lifting.
- Waterjet technology keeps fat cells intact. In the future, they can be used for lipofilling.
-
The laser procedure destroys fat cells using an erbium laser. They turn into liquid, which is then removed
by a
vacuum aspirator. As a result of using this technique, there are no bruises on the patient`s body.
-
The non-surgical technique is designed for a long period to consolidate the effect by wearing compression
underwear.
Injections are used with a special composition that removes fat deposits.
New fat removal techniques are combined with various programs for a long lasting effect. Cryolipolysis,
lipolytic
injections, obesity control, programmed dietology, implant transplantation - all this is in service with the
leading
plastic surgery clinics in Turkey.
Not only beach holidays
Today, many patients choose the "Turkish coast" not only for relaxation, but also for the implementation of
medical
procedures, including plastic surgery. Prices here are much lower than in leading European clinics, and the
level of
medical care, staff qualifications, and the availability of modern expensive equipment are quite comparable with
them. This is achieved due to the lower living wage in Turkey and low salaries compared to European ones,
although
they are sufficient for Turkish specialists. Clinics can afford to buy the most modern equipment and drugs. The
medical staff has the qualifications and diplomas of the best educational institutions. Turkish doctors received
fundamental education and underwent training in major European and American clinics. Most doctors and nurses are
fluent in several languages, including Russian, English, Kazakh.
Features of the lipofilling procedure
How to sculpt the perfect figure? Reduce in one place, add a little, smooth in others. A plastic surgeon sculpts
his
model like a sculptor. Therefore, the names of the methods used in plastic have their own synonyms from areas
related to art. For example, lipofilling is also called liposculpture, lipomodeling, fatgrafting. The essence of
this technology is that fat is taken from one place and injected into other zones.
Procedure sequence
First you need to get fat. To do this, a cannula is inserted under the skin into the donor area and the fat is
sucked into a container. The cannula has a rounded tip so as not to injure blood vessels, nerve trunks, and
muscles.
Lipofilling has been carried out for over a century. Initially, this operation had significant disadvantages.
The
transplanted adipose tissue did not take root well. It was possible to see a positive result only after a few
months
spent in a certain isolation from society due to an unpresentable appearance.
With the development of liposuction, the two methods began to be combined. At first, the transplanted tissue was
absorbed within a short period of time. It was found that liposuction completely destroys fat cells as a result
of
strong vacuum. Fat with residues of adipocytes is rejected during transplantation, since the immune system
destroys
the graft.
Now fat extraction is done without causing destruction of adipocytes, without contact of the collected material
with
air.
Cleansing adipose tissue
Having received adipose tissue, it is placed in a centrifuge. There it is brought to a homogeneous consistency
and
cleansed of blood, connective tissue, drugs.
Transplant
The prepared fat is injected into the area that you want to reshape. You can make thin lips plump. Eliminate
forehead wrinkles. Smooth out deep nasolabial folds, the so-called "lacrimal grooves".
lipofilling and liposuction contraindications and Indications
For those who want to reduce body volume, model an ideal figure, eliminate aesthetic imperfections, plastic
surgery
clinics are ready to help make their dreams come true. With the help of liposuction and lipolifting, you can
solve
the problems:
- remove excess fat in the abdomen, sides, buttocks, inner and outer thighs and arms, face;
- cellulite;
- make the surface of the skin even and smooth, if it is bumpy, with rough postoperative scars;
- gynecomastia;
- the presence of subcutaneous lipomas;
- remove extra chins, "flew".
Dangers
Even such a procedure as liposuction, which has been worked out for decades, still has contraindications.
If the patient has brought with him the "baggage" of chronic diseases, he will need additional examination.
Perhaps
he will receive a refusal to carry out the procedure.
- Absolute contraindications:
- violation of blood clotting;
- pregnancy;
- mental disorders;
- the presence of malignant neoplasms;
- diabetes;
- the presence of pacemakers, heart defects, vascular diseases;
- HIV.
Before prescribing the type of operation, the patient talks with the doctor. After the verdict on the absence of
pathology, the surgeon can send for tests and additional examinations.
For patients with temporary contraindications, the procedure can be postponed to a later date. This applies to
pregnancy, lactation, seasonal viral infections (ARVI, ARI, influenza). For those who have chronic diseases, it
is
possible to make liposuction during remission using modern low-traumatic and minimally invasive methods. For
example, using a laser.
Rehabilitation period after liposuction and lipolifting
The duration and conditions of rehabilitation are influenced by such factors as the general state of health of
the
patient, the volume of surgery, and the technique of the operation. After minimally invasive methods, people
feel
good within a couple of days and return to their usual activities. It will take about 3 weeks to fully recover.
At
this time, you need to follow certain rules:
- use compression underwear;
- pay special attention to hygiene in the operated area;
- give up sports activities for a while;
- on lifting weights;
- do not go to the pool, bath;
- avoid sun exposure.
In case of development of any complications, it is necessary to re-contact the clinic. Turkish doctors in
medical
centers offer the opportunity to consult for years.
Conclusion
As the unforgettable classic argued, everything in a person should be fine. Many agree with him, but not all go
to
gyms, prefer a healthy lifestyle and a natural, balanced diet. For such people, liposuction and lipofilling is a
simple affordable way to a perfect body. Professional surgeons will perform sculptural modeling.
You can continue to work on the cosmetic devices that improve the structure of all tissues, in the massage room.
But
you need to start with plastic surgery, if such methods of losing weight as diets, sports activities have
already
been exhausted, or the soul does not lie with them. Remember: beauty will save the world, everything is in your
hands.
