Liposuction of the Abdomen: How It Occurs

Liposuction of the abdomen, in which excess fat is removed, is a plastic surgery that is resorted to as a last resort, when neither diet, nor apparatus cosmetology programs for the body, nor special exercises help remove fat from the abdomen.

Liposuction of the abdomen is a radical method of combating fat deposits, which really helps to improve the contours of the body.

Depending on the volume of fat removed and the characteristics of the patient, the plastic surgeon selects the most suitable method of liposuction.

Methods of liposuction
Vacuum liposuction of the abdomen is the oldest method of fat removal. At its use, the fat is first diluted with a special solution, then it is removed by vacuum method through a thin tube called a "cannula".

With a significant amount of fat removed, reinforced liposuction of the abdomen is used - the cannula connects to a special device (manipulator), which causes the tube to perform back and forth movements. As a result, more fat tissue is destroyed and removed.
More modern is the method of ultrasonic liposuction, in which fat is destroyed by ultrasound. The adipose tissue is removed with the help of the same cannula.
As a fat destroyer, laser radiation (laser liposuction) as well as high frequency current (radiofrequency liposuction) is used. In the latter case, two electrodes are used - internal and external. The internal electrode is inserted through a small incision in the skin into the adipose tissue. It serves to heat (destroy) fat and suction it. The outer electrode shortens and tightens the skin. Liposuction of the abdomen with this method avoids abdominoplasty, the necessity of which often occurs with loose and stretched skin.

Radiofrequency liposuction is also used in the shoulders of the shoulders, thighs and neck. By the way, this method of liposuction is the least traumatic, therefore it is often performed under local anesthesia.

But whichever liposuction method is chosen, doctors advise not to remove more than two liters of fat in one operation. Otherwise, the body, having missed such a large volume of adipose tissue, will begin with a doubled force to restore it. Therefore it is necessary to leave the dream to lose weight by 20 kg with the help of liposuction. Liposuction helps to correct the figure, but not the overall weight loss.
