Does liposuction leave loose skin?

No. Sagging skin is not a side effect of liposuction. Liposuction reduces the volume under the skin by removing extra fatty tissue. However, when this is done, skin with poor elasticity does not retract and bounce back as one would expect.

How many days do you drain after lipo?

The drains are crucial in removing all of the extra fluid and edema that are present after such an operation to prevent it from building up beneath the skin. After a lipo and tummy tuck, drains often remain in place for six to seven days.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction can be performed by surgeons specialized in fat removal. If the patient prefers the vacuum treatment method and the specialist doctor approves, the region can be shaped over time by applying the vacuum regional liposuction procedure. A special liquid is injected into the area where the fat will be taken, allowing the fat to expand (the fat cells do not multiply, they only expand and change size), and then small incisions are made in the skin and metal cylindrical pipes are inserted into these enlarged fat cells. Then, when these pipes reach the appropriate and desired area, the fat tissues are sucked out by vacuum method and allow the area to relax and be purified from fat cells. In addition, another method is liposuction using ultrasound lights. Cells that are destroyed by ultrasound lights are vacuumed out of the body without the need for an extra fluid, and the area is regulated.

Liposuction Methods

The liposuction process is applied using more than one different technique.

Classical Liposuction Technique

In the classical liposuction technique, less technology is used compared to other procedures. During this technique and other liposuction techniques, sedation anesthesia is generally preferred. Thanks to this anesthesia technique, the post-application process progresses more easily. In the classical liposuction technique, with the help of thin cannulas, fat tissue is taken from the area of the body where the patient desire.

Vaser Liposuction Technique

While applying Vaser liposuction technique, ultrasonic sound waves are used. With these sound waves, the fat cells in the unwanted area of the person's body are broken down. Thanks to the vibration and thermal effect that occurs during the process, the fats are dissolved. After being dissolved, it is drawn out of the patient's body with high pressure.

Laser Liposuction Technique

Laser beams are used when fat removal is desired with the laser technique. During the procedure, the laser beam is used to break down the fat tissue. A thermal effect also occurs during the breakdown of fat cells. After the fat cells are broken down, they are aspirated and removed from the body.

Which Technique to Choose in Which Situation?

Laser and Vaser methods are different from each other in terms of application. There may be different situations where both are preferred. Compared to the classical liposuction procedure, more fat is removed in these two procedures.
Since the fat is broken down by using heat in the laser fat removal technique, it is necessary to be very careful not to burn the skin. This is not the case in Vaser liposuction.
Although many plastic surgeons find the laser technique more suitable, there are physicians who prefer both techniques.
High Definition, which is required to minimize adipose tissue in Vaser liposuction technique, is one of the biggest reasons why this procedure is preferred. Vaser is preferred more often to make the lines of the folds in the region clear.
Another reason why the Vaser fat removal technique is more preferred is that it allows the fat taken out of the body to be accumulated and then used as a filler in another part of the body.
The person should exchange information with the doctor while deciding which one to choose. They should consult their physician about the advantages and disadvantages of both procedures.
Since the procedure can be performed with both general anesthesia and sedation anesthesia, information can be requested from the physician about which technique to use, the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques.
Whichever one of the fat removal techniques is chosen, the application should be made by the physician and a clinic with sufficient equipment.
Surgical applications are serious procedures. For this reason, the qualifications of the physician or health institution to be selected are very important. You can review the references of the physician and the institution to make the right choice.

Before Liposuction Operation

There are some rules to obey before the operation:

If the patient smokes or drinks alcohol regularly, they should quit at least 10 days before to the application. Smoking in particular slows the healing process significantly.
Before submitting the application, consumption of carbohydrates, fats, salt, and sugar should be minimized.
If a blood thinning drug or nutritional supplement is used, it should be discontinued at least ten days before the surgery. Using blood thinners during and after surgery increases the risk of major bleeding.
It is necessary to share all information about the health status of the patient with the doctor before the operation.

In general, liposuction procedures take 1-3 hours to complete. Despite the fact that it is normal for the surgeon to choose to take varying amounts of fat depending on the examination and the patient's complaints. The average amount of fat that is deemed medically appropriate per day is between 2.5 and 4.5 liters. The surgeon marks the area to be contoured and the fat to be eliminated before application. A snapshot taken prior to the operation can be used to better observe the outcome. Then, depending on desire, either general anesthetic or local anesthetic is administered. The mixed of solution is injected into the area to reduce the pain there before the application is made. This solution includes physiological serum, bicarbonate, and the painkillers lidocaine and epinephrine, which also prevent bleeding by tightening blood vessels. The area becomes numb and toughened as a result of this solution, making the application more comfortable. After that, 1-2 mm skin incisions are made, and from there, cannulas are inserted into the fatty area. The comparatively liquid fat starts to be absorbed by the vacuum machine to which the cannulas are connected. To break up the fat and enable the fastest possible draining, the vacuum tube is pushed across the surface. To stop the fluid from draining and the development of edema, the incisions are kept open for a brief period of time following surgery once the process is finished.

After Liposuction Operation

You will be able to stand up with the support of the nurse 2-3 hours after the procedure.
It is normal to be slightly dizzy at first when standing up. Taking plenty of liquid food (water, fruit juice, tea, coffee etc.) is beneficial as it will increase your blood pressure.
Fluid leaks into the bed on the first day after liposuction are normal and expected.
Swelling and bruises may occur in the procedure area. This situation will pass in 7-10 days.
After the procedure, you must use the corset you are wearing for at least 6 weeks. We recommend that you take a shower with a corset for the first week. You can then take a shower by removing the corset.
A tight corset is very important for shaping your body. That's why it is recommended to stay on you as much as possible.
When you feel comfortable after the procedure, you can start active sports. It is important to start to walk early for reducing edema.
The lymph drainage massage is useful. You can start after 3 days.
It is recommended consuming plenty of water and liquids after the procedure.
It will take 6 months for your body to take its final shape. Your edema will decrease over time, and your body will be more beautiful day by day.

All forms of liposuction use an aspirator and a cannula, a shallow tube, to physically remove stubborn fat. It's important to realize that liposuction does permanently remove fat cells from the body.

Following the surgery, you'll feel the discomfort. However, with the help of your doctor's recommended supportive drug therapy, you will manage this procedure with ease.

Contour irregularities - Due to unequal fat removal, lack of skin elasticity, or atypical healing, your skin may look bumpy, wavy, or aged. The narrow tube (cannula) used during the lipo surgery may have caused harm beneath the skin in addition to these potentially irreversible alterations.

Fat can be effectively removed from the thighs, belly, back, arms, face, and neck via liposuction.

During the process of removing fat, the nerves that run between the internal oblique, organs, and abdominal muscles are vulnerable to puncture damage, including the liver and kidneys.

It is possible to remove up to 11 pounds of fat, or five liters. Technically, you can drop up to 11 pounds of fat after surgery, but that is not a guideline that everyone who has this procedure should follow.

The body's contour is enhanced after liposuction, and the problem areas should now be more proportionate to the rest of the body. However, some fat cells will always remain in the areas that underwent liposuction. If you later put on weight, the remaining.

Aside from the local effects of the anesthetic and the wound, many liposuction treatments provide no cancer or health hazards.

Since liposuction permanently removes fat cells from an area and fat cells do not regrow or reproduce in the area where liposuction has been performed, the results will last a lifetime.

Liposuction creates edema, just like other surgical treatments, which makes it challenging to observe improvements. Post-operative edema may make you appear to be retaining water rather than cut and toned.
