There are several types of liposuction techniques. Traditional liposuction utilizes a vacuum-like cannula to remove unwanted fat after it has been injected with saline. The most recent development in liposuction is the use of ultrasonic waves to melt unwanted fat. The technique, commonly referred to as ultrasound-assisted liposuction, (UAL), uses a cannula-like device to deliver the sound waves to specific areas of fat that have been injected with a saline solution. Once the fat has been melted, it is then suctioned from the body. Another technique is Laser Liposuction (Smart Lipo) where the Laser is used to break down fat prior to its suction This even more novel state-of-the-art technique has the double advantage of minimizing blood loss since the Laser beam seals off any bleeders, and also inducing skin retraction since the Lase beam applied to the under-surface of the skin stimulates it to retract.
Liposuction can give you the “boost” you need to further improve your self image, but must be combined with to a proper diet and exercise regimen to obtain the maximal results for body contouring surgery. In the arm and thigh, what matters is not how much weight of fat we remove, but rather how we re-sculpt the area to return to the ideal contour of the arm or thigh.
During your consultation, you will learn in depth about the liposuction surgery, its advantages and disadvantages, and discuss your particular needs and concerns. Dr. Wilson will examine you and consider such factors as the quality of your skin tone and the contour of your body. He will explain which surgical techniques are most appropriate for you to give you the best result.
You may also schedule an additional consultation to view computer imaging so that you can visualize the results of the surgical technique that Dr. Wilson has specifically designed for you.
You should come to the consultation prepared to discuss your medical history. This will include information about any medical conditions, drug allergies, medical treatments you have received including previous surgeries and medications that you currently take. It is important for you to provide complete information.
Local or general anesthesia is used for patients undergoing liposuction surgery. Prior to anesthesia, Dr. Wilson will mark the areas to be treated on you with a surgical marker. The areas marked in blue can be safely traeted, while those marked in red are better off left untouched. Once you are under anesthesia, a salt-water solution containing local anesthesia and adrenaline is injected into the areas to be treated and small, inconspicuous incisions are made for the insertion of the cannula. The cannula, which is connected to an ultrasound generator, is inserted beneath the skin and the ultrasound application causes the walls of the fat cells to break down and melt. This melted fat combined with the injected fluid creates an emulsion that is removed from the body by low vacuum pressure. After the procedure, the incisions are closed and you are dressed into a compression garment which helps to reduce swelling.
