Laser liposuction

Liposuction is a word known to almost everyone, meaning getting rid of fat deposits in various parts of the body. There are a number of treatment techniques: vacuum, ultrasound and others, but the most progressive is laser liposuction or lipolysis.

Indications for the procedure

Since laser liposuction does not treat obesity, it is resorted to because of a person's desire to improve his appearance by eliminating cellulite, fat deposits. Other indications for the procedure may be lipoma, pseudogenicomastia, hyperhidrosis. [1]

Preparation

Once the decision is made to do liposuction, it is necessary to choose a clinic that performs such operations, make sure of its good reputation and go there for consultation.

The specialist will discuss with the patient his/her problem, refer for examination to identify possible contraindications. A general blood test, a coagulogram to analyze blood clotting parameters, and an anesthetic test will be required.

If a date is scheduled for laser lipolysis, you should not take antispasmodics, painkillers, or anticoagulants 2 days before.

If necessary, compression underwear should be purchased and carried with you. [2]

Technique of the laser liposuction

Laser liposuction is performed with the help of a special machine. There are 2 types of lasers: neodymium and diode, they are from different manufacturers, but both are equipped with a very thin cannula. It is inserted under the skin through a small diameter puncture, through which energy is directed to destroy fat cells.

Under the influence of the laser beam, they are ruptured and a low-fat emulsion is formed, which is then excreted through the vascular bed naturally or by suction. The damaged vessels are cauterized by the laser, which prevents blood loss. In total, this procedure takes between 40 minutes and two hours. [3]

Non-surgical laser liposuction of the abdomen

One of the most common areas of the human body that undergoes laser liposuction is the abdomen. Sagging fat folds cause a lot of discomfort for both women and men. Non-surgical laser liposuction of the abdomen not only burns fat, but also has a lifting effect, as it compresses collagen fibers. The maximum volume of fat removed is limited to 3 liters (vacuum method pumped up to 12 liters).

An important advantage of this method is its combinability with other methods. Thus, laser diode liposuction is used along with waterjet and tumescent liposuction.

Laser liposuction without puncture zerona

The zerona laser does not destroy fat cells, but by opening the cell membrane of adipocytes, it empties them of their contents. Having lost volume, they collapse. Zerona is used for areas that are difficult to be corrected by other types of correction. In men it is the abdomen, in women - hips, arms, back.

In one course of 2 weeks, which is 6 sessions, you can lose up to 9 cm of volume.

Laser facial liposuction

Due to the low-traumatic nature of the procedure because of the small diameter of the cannula, it is possible to use it in dangerous areas: on the face (chin, cheeks), as well as neck, hands, knees.

With age, facial skin loses its healthy appearance, firmness, elasticity, begins to sag, and fat deposits unfavorably change its contours. All cosmetic procedures and means are not able to return the face to its former appearance. Only plastic surgery can cope with this.

Laser liposuction saves patients from having to go under the knife for a facelift. The laser not only destroys fat, but also coagulates collagen with subsequent synthesis of new collagen and reduces the area of the skin flap. Patients are pleasantly surprised not only by getting rid of misplaced fat in the chin and cheek area, but also by an unexpected facelift.

Laser liposuction of the second chin

Indications for laser liposuction of the second chin - the actual presence of this chin, as well as age-related sagging of tissues and uneven deposition of fat on the face. Due to such problems, the proportions, natural beauty and symmetry of the face are disturbed. Sometimes a person is stressed by a too massive chin, which can also be removed by the same method.

• Laser liposuction or facial lipolysis is recommended for individuals at least 35 years of age, when the first signs of aging begin to appear on the face.

If no contraindications are found during the consultation and preliminary examination, the surgeon will schedule a date and time for the procedure. The steps of the procedure are as follows:

• anesthesia;
• puncture;
• pumping out fat stores;
• stitching the puncture;
• a pressure dressing.

Experienced specialists take 40-60 minutes for all these actions. For the first few days, the patient is concerned about pain and swelling in the treatment area, which subsides after taking appropriate medications.

During the rehabilitation period, some restrictions are required: adherence to a balanced diet, avoidance of harmful foods and habits, physical exertion and procedures in the solarium, sauna, swimming pool. The chin area should not be affected mechanically, and in case of itching, rash, severe pain, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Laser liposuction of the cheeks

Excess fat concentrated on the cheekbones, chin, cheeks make the outlines of the face indistinct, vague. Neither fitness nor diets will help to preserve the clarity of the oval. To remove excess without traumatic tissue dissection allows laser liposuction cheeks. It is recommended for those whose skin is able to recover sufficiently, and the need for correction is already, as they say, "in plain sight".

• The technique of laser liposuction solves the problem drastically and without special risks of complications. The effect can be judged by the photos, which in clinics it is customary to take before and after the procedure.

Before starting work, doctors conduct an examination and rule out contraindications. Often aesthetic clinics employ specialists with experience in maxillofacial surgeries, who are familiar with modern technologies and equipment. This minimizes the likely risks: swelling, hematomas, temporary impairment of sensitivity. As a rule, they pass at an early stage of rehabilitation. This is facilitated by a tight bandage: thanks to it, the skin tightens and "adheres" to the tissues free of removed fat.

The first results are visible almost immediately, after two weeks, and the formation of a rejuvenated appearance is finally completed within 6 months. During this period, you should not gain or lose weight sharply. The optimal option is to remain in the same parameters as before the operation.

Fat deposits are very "fond" of these parts of the body. Women have to limit themselves in the choice of clothes, refuse tight-fitting. There are 3 most problematic areas: the 7th cervical vertebra (withers), supra-scapular, above the waist, flowing to the sides.

Diet and exercise are difficult to get rid of excess, and laser liposuction without unnecessary efforts and risks will provide a good result. Performing the procedure, it is important not to break the symmetry. Such a task is within the power of an experienced surgeon.

Laser liposuction of the withers, neck hump

A cervical hump, or withers, is a lump on the seventh cervical vertebra, at the junction of the neck and back. It is a significant flaw of the figure, not only giving an unaesthetic appearance, but also harmful to health.

The operation lasts up to half an hour. The result lasts for many years and the fat hump no longer appears where it was eliminated.

Laser liposuction of the buttock.

The buttocks are one of the most difficult areas for laser liposuction. It can be used to correct the shape, for example, to make the buttocks more rounded.

[4]
