With the standard liposuction procedure, a patient may not qualify if they have an excessive amount of fat cells that need removal. The reason for this is the need for more anesthesia which during the procedure is not an issue since it is countered with the injection of adrenaline, however if you are above the requirements a surgeon may decline to perform the procedure on you. Over time the technology of liposuction has gotten better and with it the risks are now lower, but unfortunately there are still some people who may have too much fat cells to undergo a procedure. Because of this fact, a new technique was developed called the ultrasonic liposuction. In this new procedure it is now safer for a person who was declined a liposuction previously to now be able to qualify.
Just as any other form of liposuction, it should not be used as a means to loose weight and in general is done as a means of liposculpture. It is capable of producing better results in the re-sculpturing of the underlying fat cells to give a patient a more defined figure.
In ultrasonic assisted liposuction the patient will undergo general anesthesia and will have a series of small incisions made in which to insert the suction tubes. In the event that larger amounts of fat cells are required to be removed from your abdominal region, the surgeon may ask for you to donate some of your own blood in case you may need during or after the surgery. The surgeon may also give you a prescription for iron supplements as they too may be needed during the procedure.
After the completion of the procedure, the surgeon will then stitch up the small incisions and place a compression wrap around your abdominal area which needs to stay in place for no more than 1 month. After this time period is complete the patient may remove the wrap and in general the recovery period is considered to be complete. The length of time the wrap will be needed may vary depending on the circumstances surrounding the procedure and you should consult the surgeon for more information regarding the recovery process after receiving a ultrasonic assisted liposuction.
