Methods of LipOsuction used by Cosmetic Surgery Sydney
- Conventional mechanical liposuction with tumescence using a suction force with a canula. Medial thighs, upper arms – areas of “soft” fat.
- Ultrasonic Liposuction with tumescence: sound waves disrupt the fat cells, then fat removed by suction force for areas of “tough” fat. Backs, lumbar rolls, all re-do areas, loins.
FAT IN THE BODY
Fat is either white fat or brown fat. White fat is from overeating either external (under the skin) or internal within the abdomen and chest cavities. Brown fat is genetic/inherited, born with it and increases with age. Frequently there is a combination of both. Brown fat is removed by liposuction, white fat is lost through dieting or gastric banding.
Patient 1 – 100kg white and brown fat
Patent 1 – ideal weight, ideal shape, no fat collections
LIPOSUCTION FROM TOP DOWN
Face – Fat Collects in the jowls and naso-Iabial folds in ageing and is removed in face-lifting procedure. Inherited fat cheeks (buccal fat pads), advice is not to remove to produce hollowing. In ageing, fat is mainly lost in face and is replaced by the procedure of lipostructure.
Neck – Fat in the neck may be localised just under chin or around the whole neck.
