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.

South Africa liposuction - News update:
The European Medicines Agency’s (EMEA) has issued a public statement on the risk of peripheral neuropathy with Sebivo® (telbivudine). The statement is given below (direct from source): The European Medicines Agency’s (EMEA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended that new warnings be included in the product information for Sebivo (telbivudine), from Novartis Europharm Ltd. This warning is intended to inform doctors about the risk of peripheral neuropathy in patients with chronic hepatitis B who are being treated with Sebivo. Doctors are advised to monitor patients carefully for signs of peripheral neuropathy and to reconsider treatment options if they suspect that a patient is developing peripheral neuropathy. Sebivo is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in adult patients with compensated liver disease and evidence of viral replication, persistently elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels and histological evidence of active inflammation and/or fibrosis as monotherapy only. Cases of peripheral neuropathy have been uncommonly reported in patients treated with telbivudine as monotherapy. In a clinical trial investigating the combination therapy of telbivudine 600 mg daily with pegylated interferon alfa-2a 180 mcg once weekly, an increased risk of peripheral neuropathy was observed. The CHMP, after evaluating the available data, has recommended the inclusion of the following warning in the product information for Sebivo: Peripheral neuropathy has been uncommonly reported in telbivudine-treated patients. If peripheral neuropathy is suspected, treatment with telbivudine should be reconsidered (see section 4.8). An increased risk of peripheral neuropathy has been observed when telbivudine and pegylated interferon alfa-2a are co-administered (see section 4.5). Such increased risk cannot be excluded for other interferons alfa (pegylated or standard). Moreover, the benefit of this combination of telbivudine with interferon alfa (pegylated or standard) is not currently established. The statement can be accessed at the above link. More...
