Excess fat can be an area that can be quite challenging to diminish with exercise and diet. While liposuction has been available for decades to contour the body by permanently removing fat deposits, there are many more new and less-invasive cosmetic options now available to provide outstanding body sculpting outcomes with shorter recovery times and less pain and discomfort.
Having been working with a lot of clients looking to refine their shape for a number of years at Corona Clinic we have been fortunate to witness the evolution of body contouring treatments to the point where not only are they highly effective they can now be delivered in a very safe and comfortable way using truly modern technology.
What Is Minimally Invasive Liposuction?
Minimally invasive liposuction refers to a type of cosmetic procedure using small incisions to remove localized accumulations of fat using technology including laser, ultrasound and radiofrequency to assist in the removal of the fat in a more conservative fashion compared to traditional liposuction.
New procedure is less invasive, so patients usually have a shorter period of recovery and less swelling.
Areas Commonly Treated
Less surgery = less downtime with Saisee Liposuction As minimally-invasive liposuction is considered one of the most safe and effective methods of fat removal in the modern medical era, it is also suitable for the treatment of several areas of the body that harbor excess amounts of fat that are hard to melt away by normal means of exercise and diet. Typical and common body fat reduction targets include:
- Abdomen and stomach
- Love handles (flanks)
- Thighs
- Upper arms
- Back and bra line
- Chin and neck
This procedure is a contouring procedure to shape and define the body rather than for weight loss.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Liposuction
While several factors influence the choice of liposuction for weight loss, more and more patients are deciding in favor of a minimally invasive liposuction surgery, realizing that the benefits far outweigh the usual inconveniences associated with the traditional surgical procedure.
Smaller Incisions
The procedure typically requires only tiny incisions, which reduces visible scarring.
Faster Recovery
Compared to traditional liposuction, most of our patients are able to return to their normal activities more quickly.
Less Discomfort
New advancements in liposuction technology now allow for the adipose to be broken down prior to removal, potentially reducing the amount of pain associated with the procedure.
Improved Skin Tightening
Some of the less invasive methods stimulate collagen to help the skin look more firm and tightened following the removal of fat.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Often described as a more refined and modern approach, minimally invasive liposuction is a good choice for individuals close to their ideal weight but have discreet areas of excess fat which are not responsive to nutrition and fitness programs.
Good candidates typically:
- Maintain a stable weight
- Have good skin elasticity
- Want targeted body sculpting
- Prefer a less invasive procedure
This area of the body may benefit from breast augmentation, and a consultation with one of our plastic surgeons will confirm if the procedure will enhance your body image.
What to Expect During Treatment
Prior to surgery, each patient undergoes a consultation in which the goals and medical history are discussed. These variables are then utilized to determine the most appropriate procedures. In this procedure:
- Local anesthesia may be used to ensure comfort.
- Small incisions are made in the treatment area.
- Advanced technology breaks down fat cells.
- The liquefied fat is gently removed.
Although there are exceptions, most treatments take only a few minutes, as the length of time needed is determined by the size of the area and the number of areas that require treatment.
Recovery and Results
Recovery from minimally invasive liposuction is significantly easier than from traditional surgery. You may have some swelling and bruising post-surgery, but these side effects will be temporary and minimal.
This can take some weeks and months to become more evident. Once the body has healed and the swelling has dissipated, if a healthy lifestyle is maintained the changes should be permanent and beneficial.
Enhancing Your Results
To maintain the best possible outcome, patients are encouraged to:
- Maintain a healthy diet
- Exercise regularly
- Stay hydrated
- Follow post-treatment care instructions
These steps help preserve your newly contoured shape over time.
