Liposculpture of Dallas

If you want a cosmetic face lift surgery, then liposculpture may be the option that you have been seeking. You should consult with your cosmetic surgeon to see if this procedure would best meet your needs and desires. If you are considering liposculpture, there are several cosmetic surgeons in the Dallas area who can assist you with the procedure of your choice.

Body Sculpting

Body sculpting has advanced during the past decade to a point where body parts can be sculpted to improve contours which blend imperceptibly and appropriately with adjacent body parts. The buttocks is ideally suited for sophisticated contouring because it's size is determined by the hips, thighs, and lower back.

Liposculpturing removes excess fat cells without surgery, focusing on the hips, stomach, thighs, bottoms and flanks. This non-surgical liposuction is a safe, painless, body contouring treatment. Ultrasound beams are sent to the problem area to destroy fat cells. The entire procedure is guided by innovative tracking technology that ensures smooth, uniform contouring.

There are minimal side effects to this treatment that takes between 1 and 2 hours, and it is possible to resume your daily routine immediately thereafter. Liposuction can give you the body you so desire, but be sure to ask your cosmetic surgeon all about the process and what you can expect before you decide to take the plunge. Various types of anesthesia can be used for liposuction procedures.

Anesthesia

If only a small amount of fat and a limited number of body sites are involved, liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia, which numbs only the affected areas. However, if you prefer, the local is usually used along with intravenous sedation to keep you more relaxed during the procedure. Regional anesthesia can be a good choice for more extensive procedures. One type of regional anesthesia is the epidural block, the same type of anesthesia commonly used in childbirth.

However, some patients prefer general anesthesia, particularly if a large volume of fat is being removed. If this is the case, a nurse anesthetist or anesthesiologist will be called in to make sure you are completely asleep during the procedure.

The Procedure

The time required to perform Lipo-Sculpting may vary considerably, depending on the size of the area, the amount of fat being removed, the type of anesthesia and the technique used.

Lipo-Sculpting is a procedure in which localized deposits of fat are removed to recontour one or more areas of the body. Through a tiny incision, a narrow tube or cannula is inserted and used to vacuum the fat layer that lies deep beneath the skin. The cannula is pushed then pulled through the fat layer, breaking up the fat cells and suctioning them out. The suction action is provided by a vacuum pump or a large syringe, depending on the surgeon's preference. If many sites are being treated, your surgeon will then move on to the next area, working to keep the incisions as inconspicuous as possible.

Fluid is lost along with the fat, and it's crucial that this fluid be replaced during the procedure to prevent shock. For this reason, patients need to be carefully monitored and receive intravenous fluids during and immediately after surgery.



Liposuction is normally safe, as long as patients are carefully selected, the operating facility is properly equipped and the physician is adequately trained.
