Tumescent Liposuction Surgery Liposculpture

I have recently seen an increased interest in ultrasound assisted liposuction. There are many prospective patients who are opting for more advanced forms of liposuction which include tumescent liposuction and the use of liposuction ultrasound. Anyone  considering having one of these procedures wants to get as much information beforehand as possible you should always be sure to ask the physician what specific methods he or she will be using and do your homework so that you can understand the risks.

Liposuction ultrasound  as ultrasound assisted liposuction is also called is an advanced procedure used by surgeons to assist them in removing formerly resistant body fat especially in the case of men more efficiently and effectively. Body shaping procedures like tumescent liposuction and ultrasonic liposuction are as much an art as a science. They require to my way of thinking a surgeon who is able to communicate his thoughts on how he or she will  create his work of art on the canvas, your body that he will be working with.

By using the a variety of tools afforded him tool to assist in breaking up the fat cells the surgeon can remove more fat, more easily. Ultrasonic liposuction works by using the energy of ultrasonic waves to break up fat cells in certain areas and converting these unwanted fats a thinner version of itself more oil if you will and thus this less viscous. The areas involved are usually the flanks, back, hips, upper abdomen and areas where you may have had previous episode of liposuction before. These areas have proven to be somewhat more complicated than others.

.As with traditional liposuction a  suctioning or vacuuming device is involved but this one is specifically designed to be used in conjunction with ultrasonic liposuction. The fatty areas are better identified by injecting them with tumescent fluids which contain a local anesthetic usually lidocaine and vasoconstrictor usually epinephrine. Then, a micro-canula with an ultrasonic probe is attached to a generator and relatively powerful suction device. As the micro-canula passes through the fat, the energy breaks down fat cells and converts them to oil. This oil will then blend with the tumescent fluids to form a mixture that can be easily sucked out through the canula.

Ultrasonic liposuction is not  to be thought of as a replacement for traditional liposuction which is in fact giving way to tumescent liposuction as the procedure of choice for  surgical fat removal. It is generally speaking to be used in adjunct with other fat removal procedures when deemed necessary by the surgeon because it can be useful to more easily remove fat that may have been difficult to remove using traditional liposuction or tumescent liposuction.

 
Your doctor will of course know better than anyone the advisability of the use of liposuction ultrasound. When I had to access options for my own procedure I was glad that my doctor was  not a fan at least not yet. The employment of ultrasound is too new I concluded and so many of the long term risks are not yet known that it is something I would not consider.

There have been several issues to arise in the use of ultrasonic liposuction that do and should cause many a surgeon and patient to pause in implementing it’s use. There are early indications of a relationship between  ultrasound and damage to the peripheral nerves. This is particularly of concern when the procedure will involve sensitive areas like the face and neck where even minor nerve damage could be devastating. The heat of the energy produced by the ultrasound is hard to regulate has the potential to burn as well as cause blood clots to form. All in all with the use of liposuction ultrasound there is definitely a far greater risk of unintended consequences than I believe  patients should be willing to expose themselves to in a cosmetic procedure.

Ok so we have more risks, higher costs and only short term use on which to base a decision. On the other hand it does allow fat removal that could not be done heretofore . This is true in particular for men whose fat is of a different nature than the fat of women and it is men who are likely to undergo fat removal surgery using liposuction ultrasound. Ultimately you and your surgeon will have to decide on this important medical matter. As always there is no medical advice to be found in the pages of this website. For me ultrasound assisted liposuction is an idea whose time and refinement have yet to come.

Too many are hoping for liposuction weight loss. Some clarification may be needed in the matter of tumescent liposuction. It is not a weight loss procedure as so many seem to believe. It is a surgical procedure for removing the localized deposits of unwanted subcutaneous fat anywhere in the body. Tumescent liposuction technique uses very small incisions and a relatively high powered vacuum to remove the unwanted fat cells in selected regions which are discussed at length between patient and surgeon on the planning stages. Tumescent liposuction technique therefore is employed when the desired outcome is to reduce the contour in the treated areas of the body. There is no real alternative to liposuction to achieve the contouring that patients are do desirous of.

 It is now used on all areas of the body although the procedure was originally developed for the torso and thighs. Once it is made clear tumescent liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy diet nor is it useful for generalized weight reduction many would be patients are sent home to first lose some weight. While the foregoing may seem obvious, it bears mentioning because some patients continue to expect localized fat removal to effect a dramatic liposuction weight loss. This is not at all possible.

The procedure has proved particularly helpful in contouring the area under the chin and as an adjunct to face lift goals again set prior to the operation.

 Determined by two factors, heredity and diet fat distribution it turns out is a very individual matter. The location and number of individual fat cells is matter determined by your genes. They  are fixed and unchanging after one has reached puberty. This disappoints many when they are told but it is a sadly true fact of life. Your diet can decrease or increase the amount of fat that is in each cell but will not have any effect on your total number of fat cells or their distribution. For example, if you have a genetically predetermined large number of fat cells on your thighs and relatively smaller numbers of fat cells on your chest then you will always have more fat on the thighs than on the chest. Unfortunately this means that strenuous attempts at weight loss can leave you with a thin upper body and persistently heavy or fat laden thighs. If ther is such a thing as meaning ful liposuction weight loss it may be the weight a person loses so that they can enjoy the benefits they want from a  liposuction precedure. 

Real weight loss, that is achieving a proper healthful weight is of course desirable and sometimes it ends up being an unintentional alternative to liposuction that was once sought.

The overall condition of your skin, age, weight, hormonal influences, and other factors your will have much to do with your appearance after liposuction. In other words it will be influenced by your general state of health . Each prospective patient being unique will have a  consultation during which the surgeon will discuss with them in as much detail as possible how these general factors of your health and heredity apply to them in particular.

It is important that you are sure to note that there is never any medical advice found in the pages or blogs of this website only observations and an effort on the part of the website authors or guest article writers to give the reader a leg up. One of the places to begin his or her knowledge gathering so to speak. Any surgical procedure is one where the patient should be well versed on the subject beforehand. All decisions of a medical nature must be arrived with the advice of your doctor who knows your individual medical history and the circumstances particular to you as it relates to the matters discussed here.

As one might expect tumescent liposuction in  New York is executed by a large number of board certified physicians. If you are close enough to the big apple maybe you can do what a friend of mine recently was able to do. She went in to the city she met with her doctor who  performed her tumescent liposuction in New York. So confident was her surgeon that recovery would be swift and painless that she jokingly recommended she think about a Broadway play for the night of the surgery since she had decided to stay in the city the night.Well you guessed it my friend has always been driven by a challenge. I don’t believe that spending the night at the theatre is recommended and I don’t want to suggest that my friend’s surgeon made that recommendation except in jest to make the point that recovery would be swift.  Tumescent surgery New York style or not but I wanted to tell her story as told to me to illustrate a point

The tumescent liposuction in New york was scheduled for the morning and all went smoothly. Not groggy the way she might have been if general anesthetics were necessary as in the gowingly distant past. She rested in her hotel room for the day afterwards and sure enough was up to going to the Broadway play she had gotten tickets for that night. Amazing !! Now this will not always be the case. Of course some procedures leave you more sore than others and will take a little more recovery but it does bring to mind how far fat removal surgery has come. For my friend only a little oozing at the entry points for the micro-cannula were needed to be dealt with.

So how was this possible ? Other posts to this blog have discussed the fact that cannulas have now been miniaturized so that they can be inserted through much smaller openings in the skin. They are in fact now refferred to as micro-cannulas. A number of small holes may be placed in the skin around the treated area  this differs from other methods where there instead are few larger holes). The micro-cannulas are then inserted through the several small openings that have been made in the skin at the location for fat removal and the fat is removed.

The term tumescent which comes from the latin and means swollen and firm, which is exactly the method that  this technique prepares the fatty tissue for removal. A prepared solution of lidocaine ,a local anesthetic will be injected into the fatty area along with the measured solution to constrict the blood vessels typically but not always epinephrine. The anesthetising  lidocaine is then absorbed by the fatty tissue  of the patient this causes the tissues to become swollen and firm or tumescent. A large area of fatty tissue can be numbed  at the same time using this technique, thus allowing for a large area of liposuction to be performed while the patient is under only the local anesthesia.

 Epinephrine which causes blood vessels to constrict or shrink in the area of fat removal of the procedure, offers a number of advantages. The constriction of the blood vessels primarily the class of blood vessels that are the smallest,the capillaries serves to limit blood loss during the procedure and provides for a longer-lasting numbing effect, with the vasoconstriction there is a greatly reduced  blood flow to carry the lidocaine away from the area of the procedure. This is how the area can be kept numb for longer periods. After tumescent liposuction, the area of the liposuction procedure may stay numb for more than a full day without any further injection of the lidocaine or other pain killers. Surgeon.

The recovery time varies significantly whether you choos tumescent liposuction in dallas or anywhere in the country that is from person to person who choose to undergo the procedure. There is a good percentage of patients who are able to walk out of the office without assistance and  are able to get back to their regular routine within a few days. The sooner the patient begins to move around, the faster the healing progresses. It unfortunately no always the case that a patient is up and around so quickly.

Those who do not fit the category of back to normal life in a flash healing may entail the following:

— A patient may feel temporary numbness in the treated area because the local anesthetic remains in the tissue for twenty-four hours or more after surgery.

— Some patients may experience minor or in rare  cases a little more than mild discomfort after the numbness wears off. It really often has to do more with individual’s perception of discomfort.

— Physical exercise is not recommended until at least a week after surgery again a matter of individual comfort.

— It will take full six weeks for any resulting scar to begin to soften and a full year for the healing to be complete.

Most patients are generally alert and able to function immediately after the tumescent liposuction surgery. They do not experience the nausea and nebulous grogginess that will usually associated with general anesthesia because this is not used.

It is to this writer’s way of thinking that the recovery time  from tumescent liposuction surgery as compared to other choices of fat removal surgery in which the patient would undergo general anesthesia or intravenous or other narcotic use. First there is the clear medical and safety advantage of the reduced risk of not using these methods. Then there is the fact that the cannula used in the procedure of tumescent liposuction surgery is now about one third to one half the size of the instruments used to remove fat in other types of liposuction. This of course results in a somewhat gentler treatment of the surrounding area to the one that has had the fat removed.

The opportunity presented to perform more of a sculpting and contouring that is afforded with the use of the micro- cannula is substantial in benefit as well. This tool is one of the main impacting aspects of tumescent liposuction recovery versus the alternatives.

consumer guide to plastic surgery

How much ? It Depends.

The wide set of variables involved in each individual’s case of fat removal surgery truly is one of the most difficult procedures to estimate the cost of. Estimating tumescent liposuction cost is not an exception to the rule. Tumescent liposuction techniques are used in many different areas of the body. The procedures are carried out by surgeons of different experience and varied skill levels. You will get a more meaningful cost estimate after you are examined by a surgeon and have developed a surgical plan and then get your tumescent liposuction cost.

Differing from most plastic surgery, your tumescent liposuction cost will not be comprised of the usual  three fees: surgeon fees, anesthesia fees and facility fees. The anesthesia fees that did range from approximately $500 to $1,000 are generally built into the procedure fees with this procedure. After all that is what this type of surgery is advantaged by, namely it’s utilization of  a local anesthetic.

There will of course be some impact on your tumescent liposuction cost depending on the number of areas treated and the amount of solution needed for them. The facility fees can vary depending on the number of areas where liposuction is performed, ranging from who knows to who knows as costs of these things seem to rise overnight. The remaining part and largest part of  the cost is the surgeon’s fee.

There really is no sense in suggesting even a price range to my way of thinking. Everything costs more in some places than others and sometimes much more.  Practices specializing in tumescent liposuction in New York or a practice doing tumescent liposuction in Los Angeles are going to be higher than elsewhere in the country so is everything else in those places. I had a pleasant personal surprise when I found tumescent liposuction in altanta was rated high for quality but was far less expensive than the same procedure would have been in N.Y. or L.A.. The truth is that tumescent liposuction surgery may be cheaper in some places tha others it is not an inexpensive procedure.

The cost is higher for larger body areas. For example, the average cost for the abdomen can be about twice the amount charged for thighs.

As we have said area of the body to have tumescent liposuction performed affects the cost. The most common areas are the abdomen and thighs.many patients decide to have several areas done at the same time. The type of equipment used makes a difference.  there have been remarkable new  advances which include the use of such devices  as laser and ultrasound energy. When a surgeon offers these as an alternative methodolgy for fat removal it is usually at a premium to older technology. It is not always necesssary to opt for the latest gizmo for you procedure and often not even desirable.

When men have liposuction it usually involves a higher expense. There is sometimes or even often simply more fat and it is of anature that is more difficult to remove than a surgeon finds in a woman. A man’s fat has a fibrous nature that makes it harder to extract.the added difficulty is the reason for the higher for men.

The purpose of this article was more to tell you what can’t be answered in a specific sense  that is the your personal expense for the procedure. You will need to have consult with and be examined by a doctor or several specializing in the procedure to get a reliable answer. This only after he has explained your options and you have chosen the one’s for you.

What I can tell you is the if you are looking for tumescent liposuction in new york or want to indulge yourself with a tumescent liposuction in los angeles you will be paying more for it than you would if you were my doctor’s patient for the tumescent liposuction in Atlanta. 

I will return with more info on the subject of costs that will give you a survey of procedure cost in this place or that but what I wanted to do here and now was to encorage you just go to the doctor for a preliminary discussion and exam to get a realistic estimate of what you will pay for you want. Just do it. can’t hurt to ask.
