We all know how important it is to look good and feel good. Magazines and TV programs offer a number of new diets and ways to lose weight and look great. However, what happens if you’re one of those people who commit to great new diets, follow their exercise plan and are still left with areas of fat which just won’t shift? In those situations, liposuction is a great way to get rid of fatty tissue from a specific area of your body – quickly and easily.

The first part of liposuction surgery is the anesthetic. Anesthetic means ‘without pain’. A local anesthetic will numb the area on which the surgeon intends to operate and a general anesthetic is used to put you into a state of unconsciousness while the surgery is being carried out. Which type of anesthetic you receive depends on what type of liposuction surgery you are having carried out. You will feel absolutely no pain during the surgery and should be left with nothing but a slight numbness afterwards.

After the anesthetic has taken effect, the surgeon may inject some fluids – again, depending on the type of operation and the area of the body being operated on. Following this, he will create small incisions around the area from which the fat deposits will be removed. The incisions tend to range in size from a quarter of an inch up to a third of an inch. This is all that is required to perform the procedure, ensuring you’re left without unsightly scars or marks.

In order to remove the fat, the surgeon inserts the cannula into the incision. The cannula is a thin tube which is used to break up the fat cells using back and forth movements once the deep fat layer has been reached. The cannula also acts as a suction pipe, removing the loose cells from inside the fat layer. The surgeon may also use an additional syringe to remove fat cells. Along with the fat, blood and other bodily fluids will be removed. To counteract this, the patient is administered additional fluids through an intravenous drip.

Following the removal of the fatty cells, most surgeons will use stitches to close the incisions. Don’t be alarmed if they don’t, though. Some doctors prefer to leave the incisions open as the fluid can drain more easily and bruising and swelling will be reduced. You won’t have any problems as the incisions are tiny. The whole process is painless and very quick and easy and you’re very unlikely to experience any issues. Enjoy your new body!
