Laser Liposuction – Miami

Out of several liposuction techniques popular these days, Laser Liposuction – Miami is one of the most sought-after.   Laser lipolysis system offers a radical and minimally all-encompassing procedure for the taking away of fat.  Laser Lipo offers less downtime and side-effects than conventional liposuction because it uses a high-powered laser. 

Maybe by now your interest rises and your mind have bags of questions about it.  Above all is on how this Laser Liposuction works, right?   To start with, a laser fiber enclosed in a very small tube called cannula that is approximately 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm in diameter is put in through the small cuts of the skin and into the layers of fat.   The cannula slides back and forth distributing the laser’s energy straight to the fat cells, causing them to burst into pieces and can easily be drawn out.  The laser force also work together with the dermis, effecting in collagen reduction.

Although it can be done under local anesthesia, Laser Lipo is simply a sweeping process because of the small size cannula.  With a more rapid revival time than traditional liposuction, the laser causes tiny blood vessels to thicken at once on contact, resulting in less blood loss, swelling and bruising.  The said method is very secure with least side effects due to the fact that general anesthesia is not required. 

The possible candidates for Laser Liposuction – Miami are those people who are with areas of fat buildups that sufficient diet and fitness program cannot take away.  Those people with healthy elastic skin and with rational expectations for the effects are also ideal for Laser Lipo. 

The process is perfect for taking care of the excess fat of the abdomen, flanks/love handles, chin/neck, upper arms, male breasts (gynecomastia), thighs and knees.

In general, one treatment is enough for a large number of patients.  For each area of the body being treated, the procedure only last for 45 minutes to an hour. 

After the surgery and as prescribed by your surgeon, you will have to wear a compression garment for several days to a number of weeks, but this actually depends on the body area being treated.  Rest is also suggested and activity may be taken up again slowly.  Refrain from hot tubs or tough exercise for two weeks.

Laser Liposuction is focused on cellulite handling but only to a certain degree.  It may also develop the shape of the body.  Effects can be spotted within a week with continuous development for over a number of months.

Most unneeded fat cells can be extracted, not all.  Those that are left behind may still expand or accumulate in size.  Through Laser Lipo removal of fat cells are permanent.  If ever you gain weight, fats will accumulate or form in areas not treated. 

Each person uniquely has problem areas as the same with every Laser Lipo surgery.   The cost of Laser Liposuction – Miami varies and is based on the patient’s body mass index, number of body parts to be treated, and even the degree of expertise of the surgeon.  Since there are a number of reasons that may have an effect on the cost of the surgery, the precise cost will be established during the consultation with your surgeon.

The Science of Liposuction

Liposuction, after 25 years, is still one of the most popular plastic surgeries. How it works, however, is not generally well understood. It is more than ‘sticking a tube in and sucking it out’. The basics principles of flow mechanics apply

At its simplist, liposuction is a two-steo process for removing fat. A hollow tube (cannula) is put under the skin, the tube is moved back and forth until the fat is dislodged, and the attached vacuum source draws the fat back through the cannula into the tubing and finally into the plastic bottle.

Despite this apparent simplicity, there is more science to it than that. There are three interesting components about liposuction, all of which contribute to its safety and effectiveness. These include the concept of tumescence, water vaporization and suction, and tubing size and design.

An integral part of the oepration is the placing of fluid into the areas where the fat will be suctioned. I frequently get asked by patients if I do tumescent liposuction. Most patients think that tumescence is a special liposuction technique when, in fact, it is part of every liposuction procedure. Putting large amounts of fluid into the fat areas to be suctioned beforehand is known as tumescent infiltration. This achieves two fundamental things, substantially reduces bleeding (from the fat being broken up by the liposuction tube and it distends the fat compartments which make the tube easier to pass through the fat being suctioned. Without tumescent infiltration, liposuction would quite bloody, give patients more pain, and have them bruised for a month, if not longer.

The amount of suction generated by the liposuction machine, in short, makes liposuction possible. At the accepted amount of suction needed for liposuction (-20 cms of water or -1 atmosphere of pressure), the pulling of fat through the tubing certainly occurs. But it also causes the vaporization of water. If you have ever witnessed an actual liposuction procedure, you may have seen bubbles in the fat or bubbling in the plastic cannister. To some degree, this is actually water boiling….or the vacuum pressure exceeding the vapor pressure of the water in the fat being removed. It is this vaporization that makes the viscosity (how thick it is) of fat, which is actually a combination of fat, blood, and infiltration fluid, less to improve its ease of flow through the tubing. From a flow standpoint, water that is vaporized ( a gas) flows 100 times faster than liquid water. This is also why liposuction done at higher altitudes, where the water vapor of pressure is less, is somewhat easier to do. (takes less suction from the machine)

The tube (cannula) that is actually used under the skin differs in diameter and the holes at the tip. In days gone by, the cannulas were quite large but left a lot of depressions in the overlying skin after due to removing too much fat too fast and in large pieces. Today, small cannulas are used which removes fat more carefully and in smaller pieces, decreasing the problem of skin irregularities after surgery. The tip of the cannula is rounded so that it travels through the fat easier with less chance of penetrating something you shouldn’t. The holes at the tip are where fat sticks to and then gets sucked into the cannula. The more holes there are at the tip achieves two effects; increases the shearing effect (like a blade) on fat and makes more cross-sectional area through which fat can be suctioned.

Currently, there are newer methods of liposuction or to be accurate, methods of loosening up the fat. These include ultrasonic and laser-assisted. While they sound quite advanced (and they are), there is no convincing evidence at this time that they are actually better than traditional liposuction. Better meaning….you get more fat oout, smoother skin, and heal faster. Manufacturers market them as such but no study has yet proven it. And suction is still required to pull out loosened fat.

Liposuction Technology

The improved safety and effectiveness of liposuction are largely due to newer and better equipment and procedures. It is true of any medical procedure that the better the technology is, the safer and more efficient that procedure becomes for the patient and doctor. Of course the cosmetic surgeon’s skill is another factor in safety and effectiveness, and you would always want to choose a fully qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

The types of liposuction currently being performed are:

• Ultrasonic-assisted

• Power-assisted

• Tumescent

• Super-wet

• SmartLipo

• Microcannula liposuction

• External ultrasound-assisted liposuction (XUAL)

Originally, liposuction was done without any fluid injected. This was traumatic for the patient, difficult for the doctor, and required substantial recovery time. As the years have gone by, fluid injection has gained more importance, with the amounts of fluid increasing in Wet Liposuction, then Super-Wet Liposuction, and then Tumescent Liposuction.

The fluid used is a saline solution (to match the salt content of natural body fluids), with two things added:

• Lidocaine – as a local anesthetic

• Epinephrine – to close off any blood vessels that might be damaged by the cannula

Why is fluid injected?

Mixed with fluid, the fat suctions out more quickly and smoothly. There has always been the question of: How much fluid? In tumescent liposuction, a larger amount is injected, as much as three or four times the amount of fat to be removed. All this fluid expands the area, creating more space for the cannula movements.

Cannula movement

The cannula is used to break up the fat cells. Breaking their surfaces emulsifies (liquefies) the fat, again making it easier to remove. In the early days, the cosmetic surgeon broke up fat cells by vigorously moving the cannula back and forth by hand. To reduce the risk of broken blood vessels or perforated body organs, methods were sought to make cannula movement more subtle and controlled.

Power-assisted liposuction (PAL)

An electrical-powered cannula was developed to refine cannula movement. A PAL procedure does not inject much fluid, so this was a limited improvement.

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction

A specialized cannula was developed which transmits ultrasound vibrations. This makes any manual movement unnecessary and reduces blood loss somewhat. It works well on fibrous areas like the male breast or the upper back. This cannula can be used in tumescent liposuction.

External ultrasound-assisted liposuction (XUAL)

In this method, the ultrasound is applied not through the cannula, but from a handpiece held against a special gel on the patient’s skin. It can help with one risk of UAL, namely the formation of seromas (pockets of fluid build-up which show as bumps on the patient’s skin). It’s the cosmetic surgeon’s judgment as to how much vibration to apply so its effectiveness is to some extent operator-dependent.

Microcannula liposuction

By using a more narrow cannula, incisions are smaller and fat can be removed from smaller areas than were first treated, such as the jawline.

Using a laser

SmartLipo™ is the name of a procedure which uses a laser to liquefy the fat. Lasers have been introduced to more and more medical and dental procedures because they are fast, precise, and safe. In SmartLipo, the laser directly dissolves the fat and can seal off any leaking blood vessels as it works, which reduces risk of infection. It is used with tumescent liposuction. Other lasers such as the CoolLipo and ProLipo lasers use different wave lengths to work on fat emulsification by heating the water inside the fat cells, which breaks the cell membrane.

The best cosmetic surgeons keep up with new technology through their professional memberships and various advanced-level seminars. But newest doesn’t always mean best, so if you’re considering liposuction for yourself, ask your potential cosmetic surgeon what he thinks of each liposuction variation, and choose one who has tested them and come to his own experience-based conclusions.

The Ultrasonic Liposuction Method

Ultrasonic assisted liposuction, also called UAL might be a suitable choice for you. It is fast turning into a a more and more popular procedure both in the United States and countries around the world. Ultrasonic assisted liposuction is different from normal liposuction in that it uses very high pitched sound waves and passing them in a thin tube called the cannula. The cannula comes into contact with fat cells after being put into the body, which makes them liquid. Tumescent fluid is first injected in the area on which the surgery is going to happen, then the cannula makes the fat into liquid. The now-liquid fat is made liquid by the tumescent fluid, and aspirated out by a vacuum. UAL is fantastic for eliminating large amounts of fat from the body and also for getting rid of very dense deposits as well. Not only that, but UAL is commonly called an alternate surgery to a facelift as it tightens the skin as well.. Because of this, UAL is sometimes known as a “fine-tuning” method of liposuction, and it is generally performed to complement the other methods such as tumescent. One more great advantage of UAL is that it can be used to treat all of the normal areas on which someone tends to have a liposuction performed – the waist, the inner thighs, the hips to name just a few – but it is also excellent for areas where it is difficult to perform liposuction, such as the face, neck, feet and knees. The style is very flexible and very secure. The recovery time is usually than other liposuction methods as well. The majority of people take a week off from work post-surgery, but it can be as low as a few days, and as long as 2 weeks as well. A full recovery usually takes around four weeks, which is quite low for a surgery. There are quite a few reasons why one may want to undergo ultrasonic assisted liposuction. These are just a few of the reasons why it may be right for you, but as usual, talk to a doctor about your situation to get advice about whether or not UAL is a good option for you.

Liposuction Cost – Liposuction Beverly Hills-Liposuction Los Angeles

Liposuction is one of the most widely performed procedures around, and this is due to the fact that liposuction can be performed just about anywhere in the body. Many people begin their liposuction search by requesting prices from several different surgeons. One should always remember that pricing for plastic surgery or any surgery for that matter will vary according to which city one would like to have their plastic surgery in. For example if one would like to have a Liposuction Beverly Hills area it will cost more than have liposuction in an unknown area. Liposuction is one of the harder surgeries to estimate a cost for but most surgeons will set their price after examining their patient and developing a surgical plan.

Like most other plastic surgery procedures, Liposuction Los Angeles cost compromises three fees, surgeon fees, anesthesia fees, and facility fees. Anesthesia fees range from 0-,000 depending on the numbers of areas treated. Essentially all of the fees will be more or less depending on how many areas will be treated. Facility fees usually range 0-1,200. The surgeon’s fee is generally the highest as he is the one doing the work and must pay for his time and expertise. Most Liposuction Specialist charge around 4,000 to have one area of the body liposuction, 3 areas for 6,000-8,000 and in five areas 8,000- to 11,000. The cost for larger areas is also higher such as the abdomen.

It is important that one chooses to have their plastic surgery no matter what the procedure by a board certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Vishal Kapoor. Choose a surgeon who has not only extensive expertise in liposuction but in all areas of plastic surgery. Board certification requires specific rigorous surgical education and training. More highly qualified surgeons require higher fees, but of course it is worth the cost of the surgery because the patient will know they are in good hands. These surgeons will make sure that their patient receives the appropriate treatment and reduce the risks of complications.

As mentioned before in this article the areas of the body liposuctioned will greatly affect the cost. Most individuals choose to have liposuction in the abdomen and thighs, and many other patients choose to have several places done at once. There are several different liposuction techniques and equipment that can be used this will also make a difference to the cost. Because the cost of plastic surgery is high there are several financing options available, one should speak to their surgeon about their financing options, including loans, and payment plans.
