1, wound size is different.
Laser lipolysis: no operation is needed, and the wound is only1-2mm;
Traditional liposuction: the wound is 0.5-1.0 cm;
2. The principle of reducing fat is different.
Laser fat-dissolving: accurately locate the deep fat layer with a fat locator, then inject the fat-dissolving solution into the deep fat layer to make the subcutaneous fat tissue dissolve quickly, and after digital positioning by computer, irradiate the obese part in vitro with a special laser for several minutes to make the fat in the body dissolve and excrete.
Traditional liposuction: Inject swelling liquid, usually normal saline, into the fat part, and mash the fat particles with brute force, and then suck out the damaged fat particles through negative pressure.
3, the degree of pain is different
Laser lipolysis: because of the small trauma, anesthetic will be injected during the operation, so there is almost no pain during the operation and the pain after the operation is low;
Traditional liposuction: the pain is relatively strong, mainly acid swelling pain, but the intensity is tolerable.
4. The postoperative skin smoothness is different.
Laser lipolysis: it can dissolve and absorb the deep accumulated fat, and at the same time finely carve the surface fat to avoid unevenness after operation;
Traditional liposuction: uneven liposuction during operation, or excessive liposuction at a single point, which easily leads to uneven skin.
5. The postoperative recovery time is different.
Laser lipolysis: the swelling can disappear in about 1 week, and the recovery time is 1-2 months.
Traditional liposuction: 7 days to remove stitches, 2 weeks to reduce swelling, 3-6 months to achieve the best slimming effect.
6. Different price ranges
Laser fat melting: it is relatively expensive, generally at 8000- 15000 yuan, suitable for local small area of excess fat.
Traditional liposuction: relatively cheap, generally in 2000-8000 yuan, suitable for local obesity.
7. Side effects of liposuction
1. Pigmentation: This is skin ischemia caused by thin suction, especially in the calf and abdomen.
2. The skin in the operation area is uneven: liposuction is not absolutely uniform, so there will be uneven phenomena in the operation area after operation.
3. Wound infection: If the suction tube is not blocked when entering or leaving the incision, negative pressure will aggravate the injury of the incision and easily lead to wound infection.
4. Skin necrosis in the operation area: If the subcutaneous fat is sucked out too much during the operation, the blood circulation of the skin is destroyed, and the skin may appear blisters or even necrosis, leaving scars.
5. Chronic pain: This is caused by rough operation or unreasonable incision design and subcutaneous scar hyperplasia, mainly manifested as radiation pain, especially at night.
6. If fat particles enter human organs during liposuction, there will be complications such as lung obstruction and heart obstruction, which will directly endanger life.
7. After liposuction, the number of fat cells will decrease, but the volume will increase, and there is still the possibility of rebound. Although liposuction can be done again, the surgical site has become fibrotic, which makes it more difficult to liposuction every time in the future.
8, bleeding: liposuction is a trauma, it will damage capillaries and small blood vessels, causing bleeding. Because of the use of swelling liquid, the operation is correct, and the bleeding is very small, most of which is within 100 ml, and blood transfusion is not needed. There is a small amount of blood in the liquid after liposuction, which is obviously reduced after 24 hours. Don't worry.
9. Dizziness and nausea: A small part of the reason is that the subjects are too nervous, and most of them are postural hypotension caused by long operation time, large liposuction range, large absorption of anesthetic, more bleeding and sudden standing. At this time, you should lie flat on the bed to avoid sudden lifting, which can be relieved in a moment. If the reaction is serious, you should contact a doctor as soon as possible for timely treatment.
10, Hematoma, edema: Hematoma is caused by concentrated bleeding after vascular injury and improper hemostasis after liposuction. Edema is due to the reaction after tissue injury or the pressure of bandages on blood vessels in joints, which leads to poor venous blood return. Serum swelling is caused by poor drainage of body fluids and uneven compression. Hematoma and seroma can only disappear after aspiration and proper pressure dressing. Edema can slowly disappear and recover.
1 1, skin relaxation: most young and middle-aged patients have elastic skin retraction after liposuction, and skin relaxation will not occur. For people with apron-like skin relaxation before liposuction, it is safe and effective to remove the loose skin after liposuction.
