Is liposuction effective? Is liposuction effective?

In order to have a slimmer figure, many beauty-conscious female friends will choose to undergo liposuction surgery. Liposuction can quickly and effectively remove body fat, thereby achieving the effect of weight loss and slimming, and is deeply loved by everyone.

The effect of liposuction is obvious, but you cannot do it excessively just because you want to lose weight. Because this will cause harm to liposuction. Excessive liposuction will lead to subcutaneous unevenness, loose skin, hemorrhagic shock, limb numbness and other symptoms, which are all caused by excessive liposuction. Therefore, the amount of liposuction must be controlled within a certain range, and you cannot do it excessively just because you are eager to do it.

The effect of liposuction surgery is recognized by the majority of beauty seekers. It is suitable for those who have fat accumulation in some parts of the body. Such people can maintain a better body curve through liposuction surgery. If you are obese all over, it is recommended to lose weight first, adjust your condition and then perform local liposuction. There are many methods of liposuction surgery, such as negative pressure liposuction, hydrodynamic liposuction, laser lipolysis and radiofrequency lipolysis. Among them, hydrodynamic liposuction has less bleeding than traditional negative pressure liposuction, can more effectively avoid blood vessels and nerves, and shortens the operation time.

1. Discuss details with your doctor before liposuction

Before liposuction, you must discuss the details with your plastic surgeon. Although liposuction can make a certain part of the body smaller and the fat layer thinner, it must be coordinated with other parts of the body. You cannot just do as much liposuction as you want, as this will cause serious harm from liposuction.

2. Liposuction requires small amounts and multiple times

Liposuction cannot extract all the fat at once, but should be done slowly in several times. This can reduce the wound area and help the wound recover. In addition, large-area fat suction is a very labor-intensive job for doctors, which is easy to fatigue. Even if there is no life safety problem, fatigue will reduce the accuracy of suction, which will affect the effect of the operation. Generally speaking, no more than 4 parts should be sucked at one time. Any medical institution that claims to be able to suck a large amount of fat and has no limit on the suction area is absolutely not trustworthy.

3. Not all parts of the body can be liposuctioned

Certain parts of the human body cannot be liposuctioned, such as the front and outer sides of the calves and forearms. These parts are mainly muscle and have little fat. Even if liposuction is performed, the effect will not be good and it is easy to cause nerve and blood vessel damage. In addition, there are some parts of the human body that must be liposuctioned with caution, such as the face and calves. Careless operation or lack of experience can easily lead to skin necrosis, unevenness and other problems in these parts, leading to lifelong regrets.

1. Do a health check before liposuction

Before liposuction surgery, you must undergo necessary physical health checks to ensure that you do not have major diseases, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood lipids, coagulation disorders, etc. These are not suitable for liposuction surgery, otherwise it is easy to have accidents during the operation. Take high blood pressure as an example. The adrenaline injected during the anesthesia process will increase blood pressure, so it is very dangerous for people with high blood pressure to do liposuction. Therefore, it is recommended that people with high blood pressure treat high blood pressure first, and then stop the medication for 3 months before surgery. The same is true for other diseases. You must cure the disease before considering liposuction.

2. Avoid menstrual period

Women who want to have liposuction must avoid the menstrual period. This is because the pro-activator of plasminogen in women's blood will increase to the maximum value during menstruation, and the dissolving effect will be enhanced. If liposuction is performed at this time, the blood clot in the wound will be destroyed, causing bleeding or prolonged bleeding, and bacteria will be more likely to invade and cause wound infection. In addition, women's resistance to disease and infection decreases during menstruation, making them more susceptible to bacterial infection.

3. Have you reached the age limit?

In fact, there are certain age restrictions for liposuction. Generally speaking, liposuction is more suitable for middle-aged and young people with good skin elasticity. In this way, the skin can shrink elastically after liposuction, achieving good postoperative body shaping and obtaining satisfactory results. Liposuction is generally performed after maturity, and only those aged 18-55 can undergo liposuction. On the one hand, before this, adolescents are still developing and have not yet fully formed, so weight loss methods should adopt non-surgical methods to control weight. The earlier liposuction is performed, the better. The purpose of liposuction is not to lose weight, but to sculpt the body. On the other hand, the skin has lost its elasticity due to natural age, and it is difficult to recover after liposuction. Besides, liposuction is even more unacceptable for those who are old and in poor health.

4. Determine the area to be liposuctioned

Before liposuction, you should check whether there is fat accumulation in the area to be liposuctioned. Some people want to have liposuction in an area where the muscles are well-developed. The muscles in this area are very thick, but the fat is only a thin layer. The effect after fat suction can be imagined. In this case, liposuction cannot be performed.

5. Liposuction is not suitable for those who are too obese

Liposuction surgery is to shape the ideal body curve, but for the sake of health and safety, it must be performed under the guidance of a professional doctor. Because the amount of liposuction per person must be controlled within [4000cc], it is incorrect for obese people to expect to become thin after one liposuction. Only when obese people first reduce their weight with appropriate methods, that is, manage their weight effectively and healthily, and then receive professional liposuction to reshape their body, can the effect be doubled.

What is too obese?

Those whose actual weight exceeds the standard weight by more than 25% are considered obese;

Those whose actual weight is more than 15% lower than the standard weight are considered too thin.

Standard weight calculation method:

Standard weight (kg) = height - (cm) 110

Calculation method for percentage above and below standard weight:

[Actual weight (kg) - Standard weight (kg)] ÷ Standard weight (kg) × 100%

6. Liposuction is not beneficial for people with systemic obesity

Before liposuction, it is important to understand that liposuction is mainly for deep fat accumulation in certain areas, such as the subcutaneous fat in the lower abdomen, waist, buttocks, and outer thighs. Liposuction in these areas can help you lose weight quickly. However, liposuction is not suitable for people with systemic obesity, and it does not have a significant impact on body weight.
