Build a good body shape and choose the right liposuction method according to the body shaping area

Liposuction is considered as one of the body shaping methods. However, traditional liposuction can only quickly eliminate fat in large areas such as the abdomen, buttocks and thighs. However, it is highly invasive and takes a long time to recover. Now liposuction has a new concept of "fine-tuning", which has derived different liposuction principles, so it can moderately shape a good body. However, before the operation, you should discuss your needs with your doctor and choose a more suitable liposuction method.

Nowadays, liposuction can be performed on almost any part of the body. If people want to have a good body shape, they should discuss their needs with their doctors and choose the most suitable liposuction method.

A person's body shape is related to the accumulation of fat tissue. The number and distribution of fat cells in adults will hardly change much. Therefore, to improve local fat accumulation, the fundamental way is to reduce the number of fat cells. However, the effectiveness of liposuction depends on the elasticity of the skin. If the skin is obviously loose, the effect of liposuction will be compromised. Therefore, some people must combine it with the removal of excess skin and subcutaneous tissue.

The parts of the body that people most often request to have their curves adjusted include the face, chin, upper arms, abdomen, waist, buttocks, inner and outer thighs, calves, etc. Generally speaking, as long as the person is physically and mentally healthy, has no major systemic diseases, no coagulation problems, and has reasonable expectations for the results of liposuction, they are suitable for liposuction to correct local fat accumulation.

To achieve body sculpting effects, you must choose the right liposuction method based on the area you want to adjust. "Traditional liposuction" is suitable for removing large areas of fat from the waist, abdomen, and thighs, but it requires general anesthesia and causes larger wounds, so the swelling time is longer and the body shaper needs to be worn for at least 3 months after the operation. Therefore, it is now mostly replaced by "water jet liposuction" which can also eliminate a large amount of fat, with smaller wounds and bleeding, and the time to wear a body shaper can be shortened to 1 to 3 months.

As for local body sculpting, a fat-dissolving method that uses thermal energy principles has been developed. Thermal energy refers to "laser lipolysis", which uses laser energy to break the cell membrane of fat cells and discharge the liquefied oil through the body's natural metabolic function. The thermal effect generated by the laser can also promote collagen contraction to tighten the skin. It is suitable for sculpting small, shallow fat accumulation areas such as double chins, baby fat, and butterfly sleeves. However, because the thermal reaction destroys the surrounding tissues, there will be some pain.

For more invasive liposuction methods, attention should be paid to maintenance during the postoperative recovery period. As for less invasive liposuction methods, the results will take 3 months to gradually appear. Therefore, you should be mentally prepared before the operation and have a detailed interview with the plastic surgeon to choose a liposuction method that meets your personal needs.
