The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Lipo

By Brenda Butler


The number of procedures that people undergo to enhance their physical appearance are numerous, but one of the most popular is the liposuction. Lipo is usually a simple procedure involving the removal of fat from specific areas of the body. Areas where fat can be removed is the buttocks, neck, chin, thighs, arms and calves. The cannula which is the instrument that is used in these types of procedures gets inserted into the skin and using high pressure the fat is slowly sucked out.

Liposuction is usually practiced by people who wish to remove excess amount of fat from various regions of their bodies. It may be important to note that it is not a mechanism used for weight loss but rather seen as more of a cosmetic thing. In addition, it gets rid of fat and not sketch marks, dimples or cellulite. It is a procedure that is aimed at improving the overall contour of the body. In order for the procedure to be successful and have a lasting effect, one is usually advised to lead a healthy lifestyle so as to prevent the re-growth of fat cells.

There are certain things that one should know before undergoing such a procedure. For one, it is not a substitute for losing weight rather it is aimed at improving the looks. This should be the final option for anyone to take after all other lifestyle options have been completely exhausted. This means that if they have tried dieting and living a lifestyle that is healthy. Practitioners are always advised to have discussions about the procedure with their patients and explain what is involved.

Just like in other medical procedures, side effects are always expected. It is a norm to bleed a little after such a procedure but this should not scare you. However, there are some other risks that one could experience such as bruising. This is common in most surgeries therefore should cause no cause because the bruises gradually heal with time. In addition to this, one may often vomit after the procedure and this is expected to continue but only for several days.

Inflammation is yet another side effect witnessed in a number of patients. This usually occurs in the treated regions and in serious cases the effect is prolonged for six months. Since the procedure involves making incisions, fluid may start oozing from these parts. Instead of inflammation, other patients complain of numbness but this only lasts for a few weeks.

For people with sensitive skin disorders, they are most likely to experience allergic reactions. This may be caused by some of the medications used during the procedure. The cannula machine has also been known to cause skin burns. This in turn may cause some serious issues such as damaging the skin as well as the nerves around the treatment parts.

Thrombophlebitis is where clots form in veins. This has been cited as one of the most common side effects to happen and therefore should not cause alarm if it occurs.

The risks involved are usually few and therefore it is not a something that should cause a scare. The procedure is usually very safe most especially if it is carried out by a qualified practitioner.
