At PRM Cosmetic Surgery, Los Angeles liposuction is a form of a customized contouring technique. Instead of treating each person or body region the same, surgical planning considers the place where the fat is, the condition of the skin previous treatments, general health as well as the contour the patient is hoping to achieve.
The Foundation of Modern Liposuction
Many of the latest techniques are based on tumescent liposuction. When performing this procedure, a specialized solution containing saline, local anesthetic, and epinephrine, is injected into the area of treatment prior to fat removal. The tissues become more flexible, which allows the surgeon to remove fat with a fine cannula.
The procedure is carried out at the waist and abdomen and also on the thighs, hips arms, back buttocks neck. It is important to note that it is designed to shape localized fat deposits instead of an alternative to weight loss.
What’s the difference between VASER and Ultrasonic Techniques?
The VASER lipo procedure utilizes ultrasound technology to break up the fatty tissue prior to its removal. It could provide surgeons with an alternative option for the procedure of contouring in certain areas.
More broadly, ultrasonic lipo describes approaches that use ultrasound energy as part of the fat-removal process. The benefits aren’t only the existence of more modern equipment. The anatomy of the patient, the location of treatment techniques, the location of surgery, as well as the desired degree of definition all affect whether the use of ultrasound is a good idea.
Consultations should focus on the factors that determine why a particular method is appropriate for a particular person instead of thinking that a certain technology is superior to all other.
What exactly is Laser-Assisted Liposuction?
Laser lipo integrates laser energy into the treatment process and represents a new advancement in the field of technology-assisted body contouring. Similar to ultrasound-assisted methods the appropriateness of a particular patient and treatment goal.
People can be easily overwhelmed by branded technologies and claims about the latest techniques. A skilled surgeon can describe the true value of devices, their limitations and also whether an alternative procedure will yield more effective results.
Revision Procedures Require Different Planning
A patient who’s had surgery for liposuction previously faces a specific issue. The option of revision liposuction may be an option for patients who want to treat any residual fat or contour irregularities after the procedure previously.
An in-depth evaluation is crucial as previously treated tissues may contain scar tissue, or be a different type of fat. The surgeon must determine the possibility of improvement while considering skin quality and the amount of tissue remaining.
Utilizing the Right Techniques to Treat Patients
Liposuction isn’t the only technique that can produce the same results for every person. While technology is constantly improving but surgical judgement is essential for achieving a successful body contouring.
In a meeting with PRM Cosmetic Surgery patients, they can discuss both traditional and advanced techniques. The review of medical history, previous procedures and expectations, anatomy, and considerations for recovery help determine which procedure or combination techniques is appropriate for the person rather than simply picking the newest name in cosmetic technology.
