LIPOPLASTY :Lipoplasty is a body contouring procedure for removing unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of the body including the abdomen, arms, back, buttocks, face, hips, knees, legs, neck, thighs, and waist.
Lipoplasty is generally performed with the help of a suction device referred to as a cannula..
Before starting the lipoplasty procedure, the surgeon identifies and marks the specific areas where the fat deposits are to be removed. To start, the cosmetic surgeon makes small incisions. a solution (a mixture of intravenous salt solution, a local anesthetic and a drug that contracts blood vessels) is injected into the fatty areas of the body. This solution helps to suspend fat cells making it easier for them to be removed, reduces blood loss and provides anesthesia during surgery.
After that, he or she inserts a thin suction tube -- technically known as a cannula -- into the fatty area, loosens the fat deposits, and sculpts the region into the desired proportions. The resulting fatty tissue is removed at the same time with a powerful vacuum that is attached to the cannula.Techniques vary depending on the patient and the amount of fat and tissue to be removed.
