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 methods: vacuum, ultrasound and others, but the most progressive is laser liposuction or lipolysis.

Indications for the procedure

Since laser liposuction does not cure obesity, it is used because a person wants to improve their appearance by eliminating cellulite and fat deposits. Other indications for the procedure may be lipoma, pseudogynecomastia, hyperhidrosis. [ 1 ]

Preparation

Once the decision has been made to have liposuction, it is necessary to choose a clinic that performs such operations, make sure of its good reputation and contact them for a consultation.

The specialist will discuss the patient's problem with him and send him 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 for laser lipolysis has been set, then 2 days before this you should not take antispasmodics, painkillers or anticoagulants.

If necessary, you should purchase and have compression garments with you. [ 2 ]

Technique laser liposuction

Laser liposuction is performed using a special device. 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 torn, a low-fat emulsion is formed, which is then removed 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 from 40 minutes to 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. A sagging fold of fat causes many unpleasant moments for both women and men. Non-surgical laser liposuction of the abdomen not only burns fat, but also has a lifting effect, because it compresses collagen fibers. The maximum volume of fat removed is limited to 3 liters (up to 12 are pumped out using the vacuum method).

An important advantage of this method is its compatibility with others. Thus, laser diode liposuction is used along with water-jet and tumescent.

Laser liposuction without punctures 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 correct with other types of correction. For men, this is the abdomen, for women, the thighs, arms, and back.

In one course lasting 2 weeks, which is 6 sessions, the volume is reduced to 9 cm.

Laser liposuction of the face

Due to the low trauma of the procedure due to the small diameter of the cannula, it became possible to use it in dangerous areas: on the face (chin, cheeks), as well as the neck, arms, knees.

With age, facial skin loses its healthy appearance, elasticity, flexibility, begins to sag, and fat deposits unfavorably change its contours. All cosmetic procedures and products are unable to return the face to its former appearance. Only plastic surgery can cope with this.

Laser liposuction frees patients from the need to go under the knife for a facelift. Under the influence of the laser, not only fat is destroyed, but also collagen coagulation occurs with subsequent synthesis of new collagen, the area of the skin flap is reduced. Patients are pleasantly surprised not only by getting rid of inappropriate fat in the chin and cheeks, but also by an unexpected facelift.

Laser liposuction of the double chin

Indications for laser liposuction of the double chin are the presence of this chin itself, as well as age-related sagging tissues and uneven fat deposits on the face. As a result of such problems, the proportions, natural beauty and symmetry of the face are violated. Sometimes a person is bothered by an overly massive chin, which can also be removed by the same method.

• Laser liposuction or facial lipolysis is recommended for people over 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 set the date and time of the procedure. The stages of the procedure are as follows:

• anesthesia;
• puncture;
• pumping out fat reserves;
• stitching the puncture;
• application of a pressure bandage.

Experienced specialists need 40-60 minutes to perform all these actions. The first few days, the patient is bothered by pain and swelling in the affected area, which disappear after taking the appropriate medications.

During the rehabilitation period, some restrictions are required: following a balanced diet, giving up harmful foods and habits, physical activity and procedures in a solarium, sauna, swimming pool. The chin area should not be mechanically affected, and if itching, rash, or severe pain occurs, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Laser liposuction of cheeks

Excess fat concentrated on the cheekbones, chin, cheeks makes the facial contours unclear, blurry. Neither fitness nor diets will help maintain the clarity of the oval. Laser liposuction of the cheeks allows you to remove excess without traumatic tissue dissection. It is recommended for those whose skin is able to recover in sufficient volume, and the need for correction is already, as they say, "obvious."

• The laser liposuction technique solves the problem radically and without any particular risks of complications. The effect can be judged by the photographs that clinics usually take before and after the procedure.

Before starting work, doctors conduct an examination and exclude contraindications. Often, aesthetic clinics employ specialists with experience in maxillofacial surgeries, who own modern technologies and equipment. This minimizes possible risks: swelling, hematomas, temporary loss of sensitivity. As a rule, they disappear already at an early stage of rehabilitation. A tight bandage helps with this: thanks to it, the skin is tightened and “sticks” 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 neither gain nor lose weight abruptly. The best option is to remain in the same parameters as before the operation.

Laser liposuction of legs

Lately, plus size models have become fashionable. This is how modern society teaches us to love our bodies, no matter what they are. In reality, most women strive for generally accepted standards. Liposuction of various parts of the legs: thighs, knees, buttocks will help them with this. Maximum 2 weeks after the operation, "breeches", "ears", sagging buttocks disappear.

For lovers of mini clothes, this procedure will also be of great service and will give the opportunity to show off their slimmer legs.

Laser liposuction of arms

The female body is designed in such a way that age-related changes first become noticeable on the hands, then move up higher and higher. Sagging soft tissues is one of the most unpleasant stages of this process. This drawback also occurs in young women who have overdone it with diets in order to quickly get rid of excess weight. Laser liposuction of the hands allows you to eliminate aesthetic defects of this kind better than other methods. This is a modern effective procedure that is in great demand among the female audience.

• Laser liposuction is recommended in cases where body proportions are disturbed, as well as if physical exercise and dietary systems are not successful.

The procedure is permitted for healthy adults over 18 years of age, properly prepared, without bad habits. During the consultation, the specialist clearly defines the problem areas and the scope of surgical work.

If the doctor's instructions are strictly followed, the risk of complications is low. In addition to the expected result - removal of excess fat, the laser triggers accelerated tissue regeneration, which leads to visual tightening of the skin in the areas of intervention. The minimally invasive procedure is easily tolerated by patients and does not require long-term recovery.

Laser liposuction of the sides, back

Fat deposits "love" these parts of the body very much. Women have to limit themselves in their choice of clothes, refuse tight-fitting ones. There are 3 most problematic zones: the 7th cervical vertebra (withers), suprascapular, above the waist, flowing into the sides.

It is difficult to get rid of excess weight with diets and physical exercises, but laser liposuction will provide a good result without unnecessary efforts and risks. It is important not to disturb the symmetry during the procedure. Such a task is within the power of an experienced surgeon.

Laser liposuction of the withers, hump on the neck

A hump on the neck, or withers, is a thickening on the seventh cervical vertebra - at the junction of the neck and back. This is a significant figure flaw, not only giving an unaesthetic appearance, but also harming health. The withers compresses the vessels localized here, due to which the blood does not flow sufficiently to the brain. This causes hypoxia of the brain, the symptoms of which are drowsiness, dizziness, and complications include hypertension, heart problems. Regardless of the reasons for its appearance, laser liposuction of the withers, hump on the neck radically solves this serious cause.

• Often the hump is formed during menopause, but there are earlier cases. The hump also occurs in men, especially those suffering from obesity.

The advantages of laser removal are bloodlessness and painlessness, no marks and quick recovery, low trauma and lasting results. As a bonus, the patient receives a lifting effect of skin tissues.

Laser liposuction operations are preceded by an examination. The clinic conducts thyroid ultrasound, ECG, and determination of hormonal status. In the presence of chronic pathologies, which are present in every mature woman, the patient is necessarily consulted by a specialist doctor.

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

Laser liposuction buttocks

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. Physical exercise and a special diet help reduce the volume: burning fat cells and subcutaneous fat deposits. However, deep fat depots are concentrated in this location, and laser liposuction of the buttocks is the only one that can remove excess fat from these depths.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, is painless and has virtually no consequences. Incisions are made in folds or in places that are not visible to outsiders. Another advantage is minimal blood loss. After a 2-3 hour stay in the clinic, the patient is safely sent home.

The first few days in the liposuction area there is pain and discomfort. Over time it subsides, and the patient is advised to rest during these days. Then the stitches are removed from the incisions and special underwear is worn for a certain time.

• The effect becomes visible after 4 months; during this period, regular monitoring by the doctor who performed the operation is necessary.

Despite all the advantages, the procedure has restrictions and temporary contraindications that cannot be ignored. The latter include pregnancy and lactation, inflammatory processes in the body, wounds and other violations of the integrity of the skin of the buttocks.

Contraindications to the procedure

Laser liposuction is contraindicated in the following cases:

• herpetic rashes;
• diabetes mellitus in the stage of decompensation;
• pregnancy in the third trimester;
• malignant neoplasms;
• serious chronic diseases of internal organs;
• diseases of the circulatory system;
• increased scar formation.

Consequences after the procedure

Often, the liposuction procedure is accompanied by a feeling of dissatisfaction among patients, caused by inflated expectations. They expect miraculous transformations, not just corrections. In addition to moral aspects, there may also be aesthetic consequences associated with a violation of body symmetry. As a result of excessive fat removal, its contours change, and the skin sags. [ 4 ]

Complications after the procedure

Laser liposuction is considered one of the safest methods. Infectious complications occur extremely rarely, if the surgeon violates antiseptic rules during the operation or the patient does not follow the recommendations in the postoperative period. Inflammation and suppuration may appear in problem areas, which requires taking antibiotics, and sometimes even surgical excision of tissue.

Care after the procedure

Laser hair removal is not accompanied by the formation of hematomas, severe swelling, therefore it does not require special care and rehabilitation. The person returns home on the day of the procedure, and after a few days (maximum a week) he is fully recovered. [ 5 ]

Reviews

Laser liposuction is a rather expensive procedure, but according to reviews it gives an excellent result: the skin after it is smooth, tightened, there is no lumps. Patients also note its painlessness, a short rehabilitation period.
