Liposuction
Excess fat can be detected anywhere in the body and can be resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction is a procedure used to remove and shape locally accumulated fat in the body. It is not a way to lose weight. Different techniques are used to perform liposuction operations. Modern technologies can produce better results than traditional liposuction, including laser, ultrasonic, and radiofrequency lipolysis. Liposuction is most commonly used on body areas that are open to regional liposis, such as the neck, upper arms, inner and outer thighs, abdomen, and waist circumference. With liposuction, people can quickly get rid of disproportionate body lines and continue their normal lives.
Liposuction Procedure
The areas of the patient’s body that will receive liposuction treatment are predetermined. Then, drawings are made of these places that make the body look disproportionate. The width of the area to be anesthetized determines whether local or general anesthesia will be used. Using laser, ultrasonic, or radio frequency vibrations through a tiny 0.5 cm hole, unwanted fat is melted and removed from the body. After the healing process is complete, there will be no visible scar. The length of the procedure varies depending on where it will be performed.
