Welcome to my site about tactics you can use to cope with hospitalization. I am Edward Collins. I created this site after a long hospitalization left me feeling uncomfortable and dying to go home. I was ill-prepared for the lengthy stay at that facility. Despite my nurses and doctors’ best efforts, I felt lonely, bored and somewhat isolated during my stay. On this site, I will help you prepare for hospitalization well before you need your next medical procedure. Please come by my site daily to learn the information you need to know. Thank you for visiting my website about preparing for hospitalization.
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure, liposuction serves to remove areas of extra fat from the body. Fat can be taken from many areas of the body including upper arms, thighs, abdomen, back, chest, and calves. The main purpose of liposuction is to improve a person's appearance and thus boost their self-confidence. This procedure should not be thought of as a treatment for obesity. However, liposuction can be a starting point of a healthy lifestyle if the patient commits to healthy diet, exercise, and professional advice.
Other Uses of Liposuction
According to an one article, liposuction is also sometimes used to treat some medical conditions. One such condition is lipoma, the presence of a fat tumor that is benign. Another example is lymphedema, a disorder where liquid of the lymph system builds up in body tissues, causing areas like the arms and legs to look "fat." Finally, gynecomastia can be treated with liposuction. Gynecomastia is the condition where a male's breasts collect too much fat. Conditions such as these may not be life-threatening, but they cause discomfort and can interfere with daily life.
Liposuction Procedures
Liposuction is sometimes performed after you are put to sleep completely with anesthesia. Other times, only parts of the body need to be numbed with anesthesia. In the procedure, an incision is made in the area of the body from which the fat will be removed. Into that incision, the surgeon inserts a cannula, a device that uses suction to "suck out" the fat.
The procedure can either be tumescent liposuction or ultrasound-assisted liposuction. In the tumescent method, a chemical will be injected into the fat to help make the fat easier to remove. In the ultrasound-assisted method, the fat is melted into a liquid using ultrasonic energy before being removed.
Liposuction Risks
Liposuction is a safe and healthy procedure as long as you have had consultation about it and your doctor agrees it is right for you. However, no medical procedure comes without risks:
