What to expect with liposuction
For the treatment, liposuction involves going under anesthesia. This means that you won’t feel any discomfort during the liposuction process. After treatment, however, you will feel discomfort. Healing can also be painful.
You may have a shorter or longer hospital stay, depending on what part of your body needs liposuction. Certain treatments may be performed in an outpatient facility. It’s normal to have liposuction pain, swelling, bruising, soreness, and numbness.
Before the treatment, to minimize pain, you can:
- Speak to your doctor about questions about pain
- Speak about the type of anesthesia that will be used
Before the treatment, inquire about any medicines you may take.
After the treatment, to alleviate pain:
- Taking all drugs prescribed, including pain killers,
- Wear the recommended garments for compression
- Based on the advice of your doctor, keep the drains in place after surgery.
- Take a rest and try to relax
- Drink some fluids,
- Prevent salt, which can improve swelling (edema)
During the Liposuction Surgery?
Before the operation, patients can undergo a general anesthetic which can last for 1 to 4 hours.
An epidural can be used on the lower body for treatment. In this situation, the anesthetic is inserted through the spine into the epidural space surrounding the dura or fluid-filled sac. The abdomen and the legs partially numb.
When liposuction is performed on very small areas, a local anesthetic may be used.
If the patient needs only local anesthesia, they may be required to stand up during the operation to ensure proper fat removal
There are a number of liposuction techniques.
Tumescent liposuction: Several liters of saline solution with local anesthetic (lidocaine) and container (epinephrine) is injected under the skin in the area to be suctioned. The fat is suctioned or sucked out through tiny suction tubes. This is the most common method of liposuction.
Dry liposuction: No fluid is injected before the fat is extracted. This procedure is rarely used today. There is a higher risk of swelling and bleeding.
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL): the cannula is energized by ultrasound, also referred to as ultrasonic liposuction. This, on touch, is what makes the fat melt away. The ultrasound vibrations burst through the walls of the fat cells. This emulsifies or liquidates the fat, making it easier to suck it out. This technique is appropriate for fibrous areas, such as the male breast, back, and areas where liposuction has been performed previously.
Power-assisted liposuction (PAS): also known as powered liposuction, PAS incorporates a specialized cannula with a mechanized mechanism that moves back and forth quickly, allowing the surgeon to switch back and forth quickly.
Laser-Assisted Lipolysis (LAL): this technique involves the use of tumescent fluid, also known as a laser-guided lip. It is a less painful and bloody process than conventional fat removal liposuction. A thin tube is inserted into the fat underneath the skin through a small incision to inject laser energy and heat.
