ody Fat reduction surgical & non-surgical we investigate the latest options for removing fat and beautifying the body. Caitlin Bishop reports. Body contouring remains one of the most popular fields in cosmetic surgery. There are several surgical and non-surgical options for reducing fat volume, removing stubborn pockets of fatty tissue and streamlining your overall body shape. Over time, tried and tested procedures such as liposuction have become more refined and new, minimally invasive devices have been introduced to the market. Here, we guide you through the essentials in body contouring and outline the most popular procedures to create a slimmer, more balanced silhouette. 108 www.cosbeauty.com.au
ody Surgical Liposuction Nearly 40 years since it was first performed, liposuction remains the gold standard for fat removal for those looking to rid themselves of localised pockets of fat. Liposuction is the best cosmetic option to remove large volumes of fat, using one of three surgical techniques: suction-assisted liposuction, the syringe technique and energy-assisted liposuction. Suction assisted liposuction is where the surgeon removes the target fat using a small, hollow tube (cannula) connected to a vacuum pressure unit. The surgeon directs the cannula through tiny incisions into areas to be suctioned, moving the cannula backwards and forwards to break up the fat as it is removed. Because the surgeon has to manually dislodge the fat, this technique can be time-consuming and typically requires the patient to be under general anaesthetic during the operation. Alternatively, the syringe method uses a syringe instead of a machine to aspirate the fat. This technique is typically employed if the patient has opted for fat to be reinjected into another area, such as the face, for volumisation purposes. Many doctors believe the syringe technique is more precise than machine-assisted suction and helps prevent extracting too much fat. However, it is not as suitable as other techniques for large-scale fat removal. Recent advancements in liposuction surgery have seen the advent of different energy sources being used to assist in dissolving and removing fat. These techniques include ultrasound-assisted liposuction, radiofrequency-assisted liposuction and laser-assisted liposuction and water-assisted liposuction. The role of the energy is to dislodge and break up the fat so it can be removed easily in an almost liquefied form. Reports of additional benefits such as a degree of skin tightening and reduced recovery time have been associated with different energy-based devices, however each technology can produce effective results in the hands of a skilled surgeon. Doctors are increasingly using energy-assisted liposuction techniques for the reduced recovery time and, in some cases, their ability to target more superficial fat layers underneath the skin. Even though the recovery period is typically less than with traditional liposuction methods, patients should still expect to experience bruising, swelling and in some cases residual bleeding from the incision points post-procedure. Liposuction in any form should not be considered an alternative to losing weight through diet and exercise. However, it may be a viable option for men and women who want to reduce bulges of fat that have resisted dieting and exercise. The ideal liposuction candidate is at or near their ideal weight, exhibits healthy skin elasticity and is seeking reduction of diet-resistant localised pockets of fat. Common sites include the hips, outer and inner thighs, abdomen, lower back, knees and neck. In some more extreme cases, a body lift procedure may be performed in conjunction with liposuction to remove excess skin and help the skin conform to the body’s new contours. It should also be noted that liposuction does not improve the appearance of cellulite or stretch marks, as these concerns are not related to fat accumulation beneath the skin. Depending on the size and number of areas being treated, as well as the technique employed by the doctor, the procedure usually lasts around one to three hours. After surgery, patients commonly experience swelling and bruising, with most patients reporting mild soreness and numbness in the days following treatment. www.cosbeauty.com.au 109
