Suction Lipectomy Is A Surgical Procedure That Reduces The Storage Fat Pad

Suction lipectomy is a surgical procedure that reduces the storage fat pad. It is not for weight reduction, it only reduces that fat pad that creates the contour deformity. Its purpose is to enhance ones figure.

There are two layers of fat: subcutaneous surface fat and deep storage fat. The surface fat is the subcutaneous fat that lies just beneath the skin. If you were to suction that layer, it is quite possible to get what is called contour deformities - lumps, bumps, wrinkles, dimples and/or ripples. Although this can happen with deep fat removal too, it is less likely.

Many plastic surgeons believe in a low-fat diet program coupled with some kind of exercise program. Exercise can be as simple as just walking. Consuming 20 - 25 grams of fat a day for women and 40-45 per day for men is sufficient anything more than that will add weight.

If one does choose suction lipectomy and continues to gain weight, the weight will be distributed in an unpleasant pattern in the face, neck, arms, ankles, breasts and /or other parts of the body. Patients who gain weight after the operation are as unhappy with their appearance as they were before the operation.

Compression Garments: Patients are required to wear a surgical compression garment for 8 weeks following the surgery. The continuing compression that the garments create will assist in reducing edema and bruising and will help the skin retract to its normal position.

One garment is provided: it is crotchless, with zippers on both sides. The zippered garment may be worn immediately after surgery and at night. The zippered garment should be worn the majority of the time after surgery. You may purchase another garment at the office so that you have two, one to be worn while the other one is being laundered.

After Surgery: Patients are usually sore, stiff and slow to move at first. Walking regularly (2-4 x a day) is very important to help reduce risk of blood clots and to improve circulation to the body. However, it is very important to limit your activity to walking the first two weeks to avoid bleeding. After 2 weeks you can slowly increase your normal activity until you are at full capacity a month later. You are to wear your compression garment for 6 weeks. It takes 3-6 months for your final result to evolve.

Risks and complications: Contour deformities including lumps, bumps, dimples, wrinkles, infection, post-operative bleeding (which is rare) and failure to meet expectations may require further surgery, the cost of which is borne by the patient.
