Liposuction, in English, is the extraction of human fat from ancient medical books. Liposuction surgery is a method that uses equipment to enter the fat layer through small incisions in the skin to extract fat particles to achieve the purpose of accelerating metabolism, and is suitable for body shaping and beauty. It is necessary to do general anesthesia before liposuction, make an incision of about 0.5 to 1.0 centimeters at the liposuction site, and then insert the tube into the bottom of the fat deposit.

The unnecessary human fat is extracted by using a vacuum pump and compressor, and this surgical method is called ‘dry extraction’. Another method is to inject water and drugs after anesthesia to make the fat tissue at the liposuction site swell, and then insert a plastic tube to extract the fat, which is called ‘wet extraction’. The average adult can withstand 500ml of blood loss. Therefore, the traditional vacuum pump extraction method should not exceed 4000ml at a time; ultrasonic liposuction should not exceed 10000ml at a time, which is equivalent to 10Kg of human fat, and belongs to the safety category.

After liposuction, the body cells become fat and will gain weight again. At this time, liposuction treatment can still be performed, but the surgical site has already fibrosis, and the traditional liposuction effect is not very good, and ultrasonic liposuction must be used to be effective. Liposuction surgery can be done once in a lifetime, but each time it is technically more difficult.

Surgical methods

Currently, liposuction surgery is commonly divided into the following several types: ultrasonic liposuction, electrolytic liposuction, and the most common 3L precise positioning layer liposuction.

Ultrasonic liposuction surgery is based on the ultrasonic generator to produce a certain frequency of ultrasound, directing it to the weight loss area, and destroying the fat tissue or fat particles by the ultrasonic waves, and then squeezing or extracting them. Theoretically, it does not damage blood vessels and nerves, but the actual application has a slow effect, and there is still damage to blood vessels and nerves.

Electrolytic liposuction surgery is based on the two sides of the electromagnetic induction generator to produce a certain wavelength of high-frequency electrostatic field to destroy fat cells, forming chyle-like fluid, and then it is extracted. The specific types of such equipment still need to be further summarized and evaluated in clinical care.

3L precise positioning layer liposuction, making it swell, even appear pale, and then the fat tissue or granules are infiltrated into a large amount of saline and spontaneously rupture and dissolve. Then, through a hidden small incision, the metal plastic tube connected to the vacuum pump is placed under the subcutaneous tissue, and the fat is extracted by air pressure.

Liposuction surgery was initially widely used in South Korea and high-end plastic surgery industries, and it belongs to an original, minimally invasive treatment. There is no need for a corset after surgery, which does not affect normal work, shopping, and normal social interactions, and is a top liposuction method. For specific body parts, local anesthesia is used to allow patients to communicate with experts purposefully and at any time during the operation, reducing the fear of surgery and ensuring safe weight loss.

Applicable range

(1) For those with simple partial fat accumulation without skin relaxation, young men with breast development, and patients under 30 years old are the best applicable range for liposuction surgery.

(2) For those with mild to moderate skin relaxation accompanied by fat accumulation, simple liposuction surgery is used.

(3) For those with fat accumulation accompanied by moderate to severe skin relaxation, liposuction surgery and skin reshaping surgery should be carried out simultaneously.

(4) Skin soft tissue reshaping surgery is suitable for those without subcutaneous fat accumulation and skin relaxation.

(5) Other relative applicable ranges include patients with severe obesity, elderly obesity, and others.

Reasons for hardness

Doctors introduce that skin necrosis and blood circulation obstruction are related to skin trauma and shallow liposuction. It is one of the reasons for the hardness of the liposuction area. Skin creases and unevenness are related to uneven, inconsistent liposuction, skin relaxation, and once produced, it is very difficult to solve, so it is better to pay attention to safe operation procedures and methods.

The best age for surgical treatment

Liposuction weight loss surgery has no age limit, but the experts in liposuction weight loss surgery will define the best age for the treatment as between 18 and 55 years old. Since the age for liposuction weight loss surgery treatment is too young, it will affect human growth and development and is not suitable for liposuction surgery; for those with an older age, because the skin elasticity and recovery ability of the patients are relatively weak, skin relaxation and other symptoms may occur after surgery, which is very likely to affect the actual effect of liposuction weight loss surgery.
