The buttocks can be one of the most troublesome areas for most women and some men. We store fat there as we age and it is often hard to lose. This type of surgery is a technique that women and men are considering to reduce and shape their buttocks. It is cost effective and requires little to no down time. The patient is in and out of a doctor's office the same day and usually within three hours of surgery. As with any surgery, it should be considered carefully with physicians researched and a consultation visit made.
This type of surgery can be used on most areas of the body where extra fat is stored. It is usually recommended for those with ten to fifteen pounds to lose who are in good health, who diet and exercise regularly and just can't seem to lose those dreaded inches. Fat reduction surgery for the buttocks is extremely effective is performed with local anesthesia injected into the area to be treated. The lidocaine in the numbing agent acts as a blood vessel restricter, making this a virtually bloodless operation.
Once the area is numb, the doctor inserts a metal hollowed out, a needle called a cannula which is about the size of a piece of spaghetti uncooked. The needle is equipped with a laser. When it is turned on, it gently melts the fat to a liquid form so that the cannula can safely suction it out.
There is no heavy movement of the cannula under the skin, therefore bruising is practically nonexistent. The surgery itself only takes about an hour per body part and a few different body parts may be done at one time.
The surgery uses this melting technique and is gentle, leaving no visible scars or bruises. The incision points are so tiny that they require no stitches and blend into the skin color in about two weeks. The recovery time is quick, with patients leaving the hospital on their own accord within three hours of surgery.
Two days of light to moderate activity is recommended and a compression garment is required to be worn for 3 straight days, including nights. Depending on the body part, some may be required to wear the compression garment for an additional two weeks for only 8 hours per day.
Patients are typically back to work and normal activity with in two days and are pretty much pain free. If there is any pain, it is easily treated with over the counter products. If you have small amounts of stubborn body fat to lose, in the area of 10 to 15 pounds get information on the procedure and physicians who perform the surgery. Liposuction can remove that stubborn fat in hard to change areas such as the buttocks.
