Liposuction Procedure

The procedure can "sculpture " your body by removing extra fat from tummy, buttocks, arms, knees, cheeks and neck.. You must remember that liposuction is not an alternative for diet and exercise, it's main target is to help remove extra fat from areas in which fat reduction cannot be done successfully by dieting.

The ideal candidates for the surgery are people with normal weight, elastic skin and areas of "fat pockets" in their body. There are no age limits but older people has less elastic skin and therefore might get results that are worse then the younger patients.

Liposuction can be done by several techniques: solution injection - in which the surgeon injects a special solution to the fat tissue. The solution consists of anesthetics to reduce pain. Adrenalin to reduce bleeding and fluid to help separate the fat from the tissue.

The tumescent technique - much larger amounts of solution is being injected. Surgeons use this method, which allows to inject large amounts of anesthetics, and therefore this kind of procedure can be done with local anesthetics. The operation usually takes longer than the first one (4-5 hours).

The super wet technique in which the amount of solution injected equals the amount of fat tissue removed. This method also takes longer time and has to be done with general anesthetics.

Ultrasound assisted lipoplasty is another technique in which sound waves targeted to fat tissue. The waves break the connection between the fat cells, which are then being removed by suction. This method can be used in areas with connective tissue like the back and male breasts and also in areas that require more precise suction.

After the surgery to avoid swelling the areas of the suction will have elastic bandages. The surgeon may also leave draining tubes to prevent fluid collection. You might also receive antibiotics to prevent an infection.

Every surgery has its complications. In liposuction of 5 liter of fat and more there is a risk of fat or clot emboli to the lungs and even death. Extra fluids might be difficult to remove. The suction tube may cause skin necrosis or alter sensation in the area due to nerve damage. The ultrasound technique regarded as relatively safe produces, but it is a new one therefore the long term damage still unknown. In general, the surgery presents an extra rick for patients with diabetes, lung and heart disease and for those who had similar procedure in the past.

  • District of Columbia By car

    Washington, D.C. is primarily served by I-95 from Baltimore, MD or Richmond, VA. I-95 South is particularly bad on Friday afternoons and any time people are likely to be going to the beach. Other interstates of note are:


    I-495 is the DC Beltway (or simply "the Beltway"). The Beltway is reviled across the nation for its traffic congestion (particularly during rush hour, when it rivals the Cross-Bronx Expressway in New York City as the most miserable highway in the United States). On the East side of the city, I-495 follows I-95. Particularly bad spots include:
    the inner loop (clockwise) between I-66 and I-95 and also approaching the Woodrow Wilson Bridge in the morning rush (Virginia)
    the outer loop (counterclockwise) between I-95 Springfield and the Woodrow Wilson Bridge during the afternoon rush (Virginia)
    the outer loop (counterclockwise) in Maryland between I-95 and I-270.

    Again, only travel on the Beltway during rush hour if you absolutely, positively must.

  • The House of Commons is set to consider legislation on human embryonic stem cell research, USA Today reports. The most controversial piece of the legislation would formalize parliamentary approval for the creation of human-animal hybrid embryos for stem cell research. Embryos would be prevented by law from developing past 14 days.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data indicates that regular use of NSAIDs modestly reduces risk of breast cancer; the clinical application of this, however, is uncertain. There is much epidemiological evidence that NSAIDs are associated with decreased risk for several cancers, and there are known to be abnormalities in cyclo-oxygenase (COX) and in prostaglandin synthesis in breast cancer amongst others. The authors of this review aimed to review and assess the epidemiological evidence on the effect of these drugs on breast cancer risk. They reviewed a range of existing meta-analyses, cohort, and case-control studies. Most studies indicated a protective effect, although the evidence is inconsistent: some studies have limited the effect to aspirin, and one large study showed an increase in risk associated with use of high-does NSAIDs but a reduction with low-dose aspirin. There is some evidence that NSAID use is associated with reduced progression of diagnosed breast cancer, and may delay or prevent metastatic disease. Overall, they conclude that regular use of NSAID may reduce breast cancer risk by around 20%, although some evidence links this only to use of aspirin. Much more information is needed before these drugs could be advocated for prophylaxis, however. It is possible that there may be greater promise in established cancer as an adjunct to endocrine therapy, and a trial of celecoxib in this situation is currently in progress.
