Can liposuction have scars?
Many people are afraid that liposuction will leave a deep scar and dare not try it easily. In fact, this kind of worry is unnecessary. Surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, and a large dose of normal saline containing anesthetic is injected into the site to be aspirated, causing local swelling. This can not only do local anesthesia, but also liquefy local fat cells, and then suck fat tissue out of the body with the help of negative pressure straws. The suction tube used in liposuction surgery can be flexibly selected according to the different suction positions. Thinner ones generally don't need sewing. For the thicker suction tube, a small incision is needed, but only one needle is needed, and the incision design is hidden, and the postoperative incision scar is extremely inconspicuous. Except for a few local unevenness, subcutaneous hemorrhage and a few skin insensitivity caused by technical operation, fat embolism rarely occurs. Whether liposuction is done well depends on the equipment, the skill of the operator and the balance of the amount in the liposuction process.
The more liposuction, the better
Since liposuction can reduce weight, some people will take it for granted that the more liposuction, the more thorough and the better the effect. In fact, this view is completely wrong. As far as the purpose of liposuction is concerned, the significance of body sculpture is far greater than weight loss itself. The focus of liposuction is to shape a perfect figure, and of course losing weight is also one of its purposes. In all kinds of medical accidents caused by liposuction, excessive liposuction is the most common reason. In order to maximize profits, some beauty institutions arbitrarily exaggerate the weight loss effect, do not strictly follow the routine operation, and excessively liposuction, resulting in serious consequences. In fact, liposuction itself is safe, and the amount of liposuction should be determined according to the patient's requirements and his own situation. At present, there is no clear standard for the quantity of liposuction in China, and it is basically local liposuction. There are no more than 2-3 liposuction sites for patients at a time, and the amount is not very large, so as to ensure the safety of patients to the maximum extent. If you smoke too much, it may also cause uneven skin surface, but it will not achieve the effect. Generally speaking, the intake of outpatient service is 1000-2000ml, and that of inpatient service can be more than 2000ml. If you can't achieve the ideal slimming effect once, you can do another operation and further suction.
Can liposuction reduce weight?
That's not true. Fat is divided into subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Subcutaneous fat affects beauty and visceral fat affects health. Liposuction only removes subcutaneous fat and does not affect visceral fat, so it will not reduce various health risks caused by obesity. To lose weight by eating less and exercising more is to reduce subcutaneous and visceral fat at the same time and achieve the goal of healthy weight loss.
Liposuction is only for local liposuction, mainly for chin, breast, abdomen, buttocks, thighs and so on. It is best to do one or two parts at a time, not more than four parts. Moreover, the amount of fat extracted by liposuction surgery is limited, generally not exceeding 3000ml, and the safety limit is 5000ml, with a maximum of 5-7 kg.
In addition, slightly larger liposuction surgery requires hospitalization for several days after surgery, and bandages or elastic clothes are used for a long time at the surgical site, so the effect of "overnight" is invisible. Therefore, if you have a serious local fat accumulation and return to normal life after liposuction, a single part may look thinner. However, if all parts gain weight evenly, the effect will not be obvious after liposuction.
