However, these treatments do not access deeper fat layers, and patients with loose skin or poor tone are not good candidates for these procedures.ÿ
Don't smoke: Cigarette smoking can cause premature skin aging. Smoking can cause blood vessels to shrink, which decreases blood supply to the skin. This causes changes in skin toughness and elasticity. Drooping skin is possible due to weight fluctuations and the loss of collagen.

Tumescent Lipo
To remove excess fat, wet liposuction involves injecting a "wet" solution containing saline (lidocaine), epinephrine, and lidocaine into the treatment area.

In the 1920s, Charles Dujarier, a French surgeon presented body contouring techniques and fat reduction. It was impossible to have imagined how far it would go. The tunneling method was developed by physicians in the 1970s, 1980s, and even 1980s. This suction-assisted method is used today in lipo. Many lipo strategies are available today to help patients achieve their goals. Dr. Hochstein will recommend different liposuction options depending on your needs and goals.

A known side effect of liposuction is the rippling of the skin. Cosmetic Surgeons refer to this as a contour irregularity. This undesirable effect is more common than it needs to be.
There are many lipo methods.
VASERlipo (r). VASERlipo r is a variant of ultrasonic liposuction. It loosens the fat cells and allows for a more natural removal. It can be performed under general or local anesthesia and may be used anywhere on the body including the love handles or thighs. This technique may be more effective for removing stubborn fat such as those in the flanks and back.
Nonsurgical approaches to reducing fat do not have a method of dealing with excess skin. This is particularly noticeable in patients who require skin excision and would result in ripply skin after liposuction.ÿ

After treatment, you can expect some mild discomfort, redness, swelling, discoloration, and/or redness. The pain can be eased with prescribed medications. A compression garment may be recommended by your doctor to promote healing and reduce swelling. The swelling may begin to subside by the end the first week. However, you should continue to wear the compression garments up to week four or as directed. While some swelling can persist for up to six months, you should be able to return to work within a few days.
Although there are many liposuction methods that surgeons around the world use, they all use the same process. This is a surgical procedure. Before the operation, the patient is given anesthesia. The cannula tube is a tube that allows patients to drain their fat cells by making small punctures. The fat is often broken down using ultrasound, lasers or infused liquids prior to suctioning.
Although lipo is primarily used for aesthetic purposes, it can also be used to treat specific conditions.
