Basics Relating To Liposuction Northwest Indiana Clients Need To Understand

By Douglas Collins


Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic operations in Merrillville. Also referred to as liposculpture, the procedure entails the removed of fat cells from places in which they are not desired. This fat may be transferred to another region of the body or discarded. In a few cases, the procedure may be used to provide some therapeutic benefits. If they have intentions of undergoing liposuction northwest Indiana residents need to know a number of things beforehand.

Potential candidates need to meet certain criteria before they are allowed to have the procedure. They should ideally have tried the non-surgical options (lifestyle modification) for some time and are only turning to surgery as a last resort. The candidate should have a BMI (body mass index) of at least 40 and should be adults that can legally give consent for an operation.

Once you make a decision to undergo the surgery, sit down with your doctor and consider all the options available. This will include the techniques to be employed, possible complications and the number of operations that may be required in your case. The doctor will do a number of tests to determine your suitability for the operations. You may be asked to avoid certain drugs so as to reduce intraoperative risks.

When being considered for therapeutic purposes, lower BMI values may be considered. Patients who have BMI values of between 35 and 39 but are at an increased risk of weight-related complications are usually advised to have the procedure. Some of the weight-related conditions for which the procedure may provide benefits include sleep apnea, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, diabetes and hypertension.

The anesthesia to be used is dependent on the size and number of areas involved. Local and regional anesthesia are used when only a few areas are to be treated. You will be awake when these types of anesthesia are used and you can go home on the same day. General anesthesia, on the other hand, is used for large areas of the skin. You will be asleep and you may take slightly longer in hospital.

To perform the liposuction, an incision is made in the region of interest. Areas from which the fat is removed include the tummy, thighs, buttocks and at times, the face. The fat is liquefied using an ultrasound probe to make it possible for suction to take place. The adoption of laser liposuction has reduced the bleeding that is usually associated with this procedure which has in turn reduced recovery times.

One should be familiar with the possible complications that are associated with this procedure. Among those that are most commonly encountered are excessive blood loss, injury to nerves and other vital structures and infections. If the fat cells enter the blood stream, they may travel to organs such as the lungs and interfere with vital function. This is a life-threatening complication which is, fortunately quire rare. The presence of unsightly scars is the commonest long term complication.

Improvements will be evident in a few weeks after the operation and will continue to be seen as time progresses. It is important that you adopt a lifestyle that will help you shed off any excess weight and prevent you from gaining excess fat. The main strategies that can be adopted to make this possible are taking part in regular physical exercise and modifying your diet to include less fat and more fruits and vegetables.
