Liposuction With The Tumescent Technology
Liposuction It is true that looking good makes us feel good and gives us confidence. While there can be no substitute for total body fitness and care, liposuction can help improve your body and, in turn, improve your self image. Most of us have body parts we'd like to change-a stomach that isn't quite flat, saddlebags on our thighs, or love handles around our middle. Today, new surgical techniques and tools offer liposuction patients more positive results than ever before. Body sculpting techniques are used to reduce and reshape fat deposits in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, hips, knees, ankles, arms, under the chin and neck, and jowls of the face. Men and women of all ages are finding liposuction can help them improve their bodies and feel better about themselves.
Today, The Most Frequently Requested Cosmetic Surgery Contours The Body By Removing Fat.
Developed by French surgeons over 15 years ago, it is most popularly called liposuction. This surgical procedure permanently removes genetically inherited deposits of fat that cannot easily be removed by exercise or crash diets. Specially trained surgeons, utilizing a high pressure vacuum, are now able to remove fat cells through tiny incisions in the skin utilizing a blunt-ended instrument called a cannula.
By Removing The Fat With The Cannula The Surgeon Reshapes The Body Like A Sculptor.
TUMESCENT LIPOSUCTION: At Dermatology Assiciates of Atlanta, we perform liposuction by use of the tumescent technique. This technique is a procedure that utilizes fluids and very dilute lidocaine to fill and expand the fat compartment. This injected solution also contains epinephrine, which forces the small blood vessels to constrict so that there is almost no bleeding during the procedure.
This technique increases the margin of safety while decreasing the likelihood of surface (skin) irregularities, improves the safety of large volume liposuction, greatly reduces the risk of surgical blood loss, and eliminates the risk involved with general, intubated anethesia. Because of the decreased bleeding, the surgeon can remove more fat from each area; he uses small ("micro") cannulas and gets nicer results with smaller incisions. The long-lasting anesthesia (lasting 12 hours or more) results in very little postoperative pain.
To maximize patient comfort and safety, a licensed anesthetist administers a local anesthetic and I.V. sedation called twilight sleep. Liposuction can be performed in a hospital or in a outpatient facility like The Surgical Suite at the Medical Quarters. Doctors Griffin and Karempelis take pride in guiding the dedicated surgical team at this specialized facility. The ultimate goal of patient satisfaction has been achieved through our state of the art liposuction techniques.
What Can Body Sculpture - Liposuction Do For You?
Weight loss can be very disheartening. You do everything right—get plenty of exercise, watch what you eat—and still those extra bulges remain. This is why liposuction is appealing. It contours your body. This body sculpting technique is regularly used to reduce fat deposits in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, hips, knees, ankles, arms, under the chin and neck, and even jowls of the face.
Removal of excess fat in the thighs to eliminate "saddlebags" is the most requested procedure for women who inherited this family heirloom. Men are more likely to desire fat reduction of the abdomen, "love handles," and chest. Liposuction is a relatively simple surgical procedure with a growing number of applications. By expanding on the latest techniques of French surgeons, American innovation has expanded new horizons in this medium.
Facial Sculpting Has Become A Reality.
Jowls can be eliminated, thus giving a youthful appearance without the need of an extensive facelift procedure. One of the latest and most exciting techniques is autologous fat transplantation. This fat transfer procedure involves transplanting one's own fat cells from one area of the body to another. The most popular sites for transplantation are the folds beside the nose wrinkles, acne scars, and the cheeks and chin. Even the hands can be rejuvenated by this fat transplant technique.
