Tumescent and Ultrasonic are the two most commonly used methods although there are other lesser known techniques. The Tumescent method is the most commonly practiced technique of the two main ways of removing unwanted fat from Americans today.
Because the tube that removes the fat is not as large it helps to reduce the bruising in the area which is why the recovery period is longer using the procedure as it requires a general anesthetic. Tumescent liposuction technique is proved to cause less pain, bruising and swelling after surgery, hence shortening the postoperative recovery period.
Ultrasonic liposuction enables the removal of fat in areas that were previously unable to have liposuction such as the back, upper abdomen and male breast.
The conventional method is often more difficult to perform over other cosmetic treatments because the surgeon cannot see where the probe is, and as a consequence internal injury can be the result. The best thing to do is to consult with a surgeon to choose the most suitable technique for your body.
As far as liposuction is concerned, it is relatively safe but some side-effects are possible so a consultation with your surgeon may be necessary before you pursue this. To help reduce this risk, physical examinations are necessary for all subjects to make sure that every individual is healthy enough for the procedure to go ahead. Patients are told to keep wounds clean after the procedure and given antibiotics to avoid possible infection at this vulnerable time. Fortunately though, in the past few years much progress has been made in the field of cosmetic surgery in respect to this procedure.
To treat cellulite and bumpy skin, another form of liposuction is used called Lipo Dissolve which uses the application of a number of small needles to remove the fat, dissolving it during the process. One other benefit of Lipo Dissolve is that it does not require any form of anesthesia and patients feel almost no pain whatsoever.
