Liposuction has been through a lot of developments this past few years. Being at the top of the most number of cosmetic surgery procedures last year, liposuction has been consistent in producing incredible demands from patients, as well as generating the best results.

One interesting development in liposuction has been making waves in the body contouring field of cosmetic surgery is LipoSelection. It is actually sort of a term coined to refer to a more advanced form of Ultrasound Assisted Lipoplasty (UAL). LipoSelection manifests a new technological advancement that helps patients get rid of stubborn fat that remains unshaken despite drastic efforts of doing sit-ups and other forms of exercise.

History

The traditional way of doing liposuction has already been found to be carrying a lot of potential disadvantages. The traditional suction-assisted lipoplasty (SAL) employs a device called a cannula, which is attached to a vacuum source that provides the suction required to eliminate the fatty tissue.

Surgeons have found out that since this method is not tissue selective, blood vessels, nerves, and other important connective tissue may be removed and damaged in the process. This is the main flaw of traditional liposuction that LipoSelection can successfully eliminate.

LipoSelection was approved by the FDA in September 2002 for the removal of fat from the human body.

A better look at important milestones in liposuction is provided by Locate A Doc website.

Benefits of LipoSelection

LipoSelection carries a reduced risk of complications such as contour irregularities, lengthy periods of swelling, blood clots, seromas, skin discoloration and prolonged numbing. When complications do emerge, they are often less severe than when they are associated with typical liposuction.

All in all, surgeons and patients agree that LipoSelection gives out the best results without the discomfort and inconvenience the traditional methods have long been unable to discard.

The Procedure

This is how Vaser LipoSelection is performed:

LipoSelection™ only by Vaser™ uses ultrasound vibrational energy to soften and emulsify fatty tissue, dispersing that energy through the tumescent anesthetic fluid that has filled the fatty tissue that we are removing. The lipoaspiration portion of your LipoSelection™ procedure is far gentler than traditional liposuction because of the pretreatment with the Vaser™ ultrasound system.

During your LipoSelection™ procedure, you are awake, having received only minimal oral sedation, so the risks associated with being put to sleep by anesthesia and intravenous sedation are not an issue. LipoSelection™ begins with tumescent anesthesia, the gentle filling of the excess fatty tissue areas with diluted local anesthetic numbing solution. This solution actually provides a degree of numbness for one to two days after your procedure and enhances the safety of your procedure.

Beautysurg also has this to say about the way the procedure is done.

During the LipoSelection procedure, small incisions are made in the area
to be sculpted. Through these small incisions, the area is infused to
numb the site, shrink blood vessels, and enhance emulsification. A small
ultrasound probe is then inserted to break down and permanently destroy only the fat. Emulsified fat is then readily removed with suction and massage. Physicians are able to sculpt stubborn areas and achieve
smooth, predictable results.

Candidates for LipoSelection

Dr. Zemmel points out that the best people for LipoSelection are those who are not actually fat or obese. The procedure is perfect for people with normal weight.

The best candidates for LipoSelection are normal-weight people with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas. These include the stubborn areas not responsive to diet and exercise. Typically these are the “love handles” for men and “saddle bags” for woman.

You should be physically healthy, psychologically stable and realistic in your expectations. Your age is not a major consideration; however, older patients may have diminished skin elasticity and may not achieve the same results as a younger patient with tighter skin. The skin-tightening abilities of LipoSelection can benefit these patients most.

Also, those with medical problems such as diabetes, heart disease or lung diseases can have greater risks, so appropriate caution should be exercised. Those who recently had surgery near the area to be treated should also reconsider having the operation.

High-definition LipoSelection

An amazing development in this field is high-definition LipoSelection. This procedure involves not just getting rid of fat from stubborn areas of the body, but also actually sculpting those areas to create a firm and fit look. This article discusses the amazing work high-definition LipoSelection can do in creating six-pack abs.
