Get rid of the three layers of meat! Body sculpting compound surgery adds extra points

For those who want to lose weight, if they cannot persevere in achieving their goals through diet and exercise, or if they simply follow popular remedies to lose weight, they may gain weight again and fail. In the past, the general public believed that the fastest way to eliminate obesity was to undergo liposuction surgery, but with the advancement of medicine and changes in concepts, liposuction is no longer the only way. Instead, the concept of "body sculpting" is used to shape a perfect body.

Dr. Wang Xiangya said that liposuction is no longer the only way to lose weight, and body sculpting can be achieved through combined surgeries.

What is Body Sculpture? What is the difference with fast liposuction? Plastic surgeon Wang Xiangya said that body sculpting refers to various surgeries that are performed to change the body's contours, including liposuction, abdominal plastic surgery, local tissue resection and other complex surgeries. Its purpose is to improve the body's appearance and make it more symmetrical and beautiful. Body sculpting surgery can remove excess fat deposits from all over the body, including the chin, abdomen, upper arms, waist, inner and outer thighs, and buttocks. However, body sculpting surgery is not the same as weight loss surgery, and the amount of fat removed at one time should not exceed 5,000 grams. If too much fat is removed at one time, not only will the chance of complications such as fat embolism and hemorrhagic shock increase, but the risk will also be greatly increased, even exceeding the risk of anesthesia.

Generally speaking, young people with good skin elasticity, who are not much above their ideal weight and who have only local fat protrusions are candidates for liposuction. However, for patients with loose abdominal skin or abnormal obesity, liposuction alone will have limited effect and they should undergo both local tissue resection and abdominal facelift to achieve the best results.

Body sculpting surgery first uses water jet liposuction to extract excess fat. It mainly uses a metal tube to inject liquid and use the water pressure to flush the fat tissue. The doctor no longer needs to use brute force to destroy it. The fat tissue can be broken up by water pressure. The suction metal tube will also extract the fat and the injected liquid at the same time. Then use laser lipolysis to perform abdominal sculpting.

The principle of laser lipolysis is to use a neodymium chromium laser and a tiny fiber optic probe under local anesthesia to penetrate deep into the subcutaneous tissue, release laser energy to form a light shock wave effect, which breaks the cell membrane of fat cells and liquefies fat. Then, the fat can be excreted through the body's natural metabolism, and the photothermal effect produced by the laser can tighten the tissue from the inside out, promote long-term collagen proliferation, and the skin will become firm and elastic. The combination of water jet liposuction and laser lipolysis is a dual-effect combined treatment.

Do not lift heavy objects or engage in strenuous exercise after returning home after liposuction surgery. Try to keep your head low and your feet high to reduce swelling and avoid dizziness. If you feel dizzy, lie down immediately and raise your lower limbs to promote blood circulation. Small-scale liposuction will not affect work or daily life. Large-scale liposuction only requires 1 to 3 days of rest, but strenuous exercise should be avoided.

As for laser lipolysis, there will be short-term mild redness, swelling, fever and bruising after the operation, which can be treated with ice for a few minutes. The treated area needs to wear a corset for about 4-5 days to compress the wound and reduce swelling and bruises to help reshape the body. Do not perform strong massage within one week after laser lipolysis surgery.
