Over the recent years, tumescent liposculpture has been one of the most common surgical procedures done. The process includes inserting tubes in the patient's body to remove excess fat deposits in areas of the body that are not directly improved through diet and exercise. Tumescent liposculpture begins when the surgeon injects a mild anesthetic liquid into the patient's fatty areas where the surgery will be done. As a result, this liquid numbs these fatty areas and the surgeon starts to insert tubes called "cannulas" to suction the fats. The term "liposculpture" is given to this type of procedure because the surgeon is given the ability to sculpt the body of the patient according to his/ her liking. The procedure does not cost as much as liposuction. But it does give results that are equally beautiful, if done professionally.
Anybody who is in good shape, does regular exercise and maintains a proper diet can undergo liposculpture. Bear in mind that this does not address obesity. Liposculpture is not also an option to consider when you want to lose weight. The effect it gives to the patient is that it only reduces fatty deposits in the body that are "hidden" in the body. Liposculpture is a generally safe procedure. There were no reports of major incidents resulting to liposculpture.
When you decide to undergo Tumescent Liposculpture, surgeons would tell you it wouldn't hurt. The patient would just feel a little discomfort when the anesthesia takes effect. When the cannulas are inserted in the body, the patient wouldn't feel anything. However, the discomfort and mild pain would occur after the surgery and would last for at least a week or two. Also, after the surgery, it is normal when the liquid ooze out of the incisions in small amounts. However, if you think there is too much liquid coming out, you have to contact your surgeon right away.
The most common wrong notion about liposculpture is that he or she will automatically slim down after the surgery- almost like magic. This is not the case. It does not happen that way, that fast. Results of the procedure will be noticeable after a few weeks time or a month after. Some patients even notice results months after the surgery. But, take note that slimming even after liposculpture is not possible without proper diet and exercise. The advantage of liposculpture is that the areas that were done would not become as fat as it was before.
