Liposuctionis a surgical procedure
for removing subcutaneous fat.
A tube called a “cannula” is inserted into the subcutaneous fat under the skin with the application of a high vacuum and fat is suctioned out of the area or “aspirated”. Liposuction is not intended as a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, surgical procedure surgical procedure with concomitant risks.
The overriding risk associated with liposuction is pertinent to anesthesia. Liposuction can be executed under either general anaesthesia, or local anaesthesia. Using general anaesthesia the patient is completely unconscious, but this is considered to be riskier than local anaesthesia. General anaesthesia can only be carried out by a certified anesthesiologist, and convalescence from the operation is most often more involved if it is done with the use of general anaesthesia. Local anaesthesia is considered to be more prudent Dr B Yazdanfar, and is the preferred approach for liposuction. Local anesthesia is only used to desensitize the spot that is being liposuctioned, and does not cause unconscious. Recuperation from the operation using a local anaesthetic tends to be much quicker because the patient does not experience the problems of convalescing from general anaesthesia.
Tumescent liposuction is considered to be one of the more dependable and most successful techniques used today. Tumescent liposuction uses a solution comprised of a local anaesthetic and epinephrine delivered under the skin in the locality that will be worked on. The local anaesthetic numbs the area so the patient does not encounter discomfort from the operation, and the epinephrine induces blood vessels and capillaries in the area to constrict, which also prevents too much blood loss. The constricted blood vessels aid to hold the local anaesthetic in the spot of surgery during recuperation, so powerful narcotic pain relievers are not usually required.
