The Battle of the Bulge - Tumescent and Ultrasonic Liposuction
People having difficulties losing troublesome bulges in the buttocks, hips, abdomen, thighs and arm area are excellent candidates for liposuction. The medical procedure is a simple way of removing stubborn cellulite deposits. Liposuction removes these through the use of a cannula that suctions excess fats from problem areas.
Many people remain skeptical about the use of liposuction as a weight loss method. They contend that its purpose is mainly for aesthetic purposes and has no real medical benefits. But its ability to remove unhealthy fats is a benefit in itself. Having a slimmer figure and feeling good about themselves is a side effect that many people would welcome with open arms.
Liposuction is the most practiced cosmetic surgery being performed today. Although it is a surgical procedure, liposuction is one of the safest medical procedures. Advancements in medical science have produced modern methods of liposuction that try to eliminate some of the negative side effects of traditional liposuction.
Side effects and medical complications continue to be the big negative for people who want to get liposuction. But if you’re having second thoughts about liposuction here are just some of the side effects that tumescent and ultrasonic liposuction helps to eliminate:
- Reduces swelling
- Minimizes the risk for bleeding
- Smaller incisions lessens the risk for infection
- Quick or no recovery time needed
Modern liposuction techniques still involve the use of incisions for the elimination of fat. Below are two of the most practiced modern liposuction surgeries today.
Tumescent Liposuction
Tumescent liposuction was developed in the 80’s to minimize some of the complications seen in traditional liposuction surgery. Smaller incisions reduce the risk for bleeding and swelling, some of the most common side effects of any surgical procedure.
Ultrasonic Liposuction
Ultrasonic liposuction like its name suggests uses ultrasonic waves to breakdown stubborn cellulite deposits. It reduces tissue trauma by letting ultrasonic waves do the hard work. Compared to tumescent liposuction, ultrasonic liposuction is able to remove large amounts of fat.
