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.

Before undergoing such a procedure, it is important for one to first comprehend certain facts. For one, it is not a treatment for obesity. Meaning that, one should not undergo it with the intention of losing weight. As earlier stated, this is a procedure aimed at only removing fat and improving body contour. In addition to this, it should be done if one has tried other more natural methods of burning fat such as dieting or exercising and has not attained the desired results.

There are various risks or side effects that are usually involved. As in any other surgery, you would expect a lot of bleeding and probably run a risk of infection. For one, there can be bruising. The healing process is not as speedy as one could expect and the bruising could last a couple of months. One would also experience some nausea but would gradually wear off after some days.

Another common side effect is inflammation. Most patients who had undergone the procedure complained of some swelling around the treated regions but it was painless. This usually took a long time to subside but no more than six months. In other cases, numbness was felt but on a more temporal nature.

Allergic reactions are also expected most especially for people who suffer from skin sensitivity. One may suffer from allergies caused by the material or medication used. In addition, the cannula device can also cause a burning sensation on the skin due to the rigorous friction thus damaging the skin and nerve cells around the area of treatment.

In other cases, patients develop thrombophlebitis. Here, blood clots form around a vein in treated region thus can latter on cause an inflammation and usually occurs if the treated parts are the knees or thighs.

The benefits of liposuction overweigh the side effects. However, before undergoing the medical procedure make sure that you have had a proper discussion about the stakes involved.
