You can get rid of excess weight today through liposuction and fat freezing. These two techniques compete with each other, causing a lot of disputes and discussions among both doctors and potential patients. So, what is the preferred operation?
The Essence and Features of Liposuction
Liposuction is a popular and well-known technique aimed at removing excess fatty tissues. It is carried out on different parts of the body – in the abdomen, on the neck and face. There are almost no scars after it. This is due to the implementation of very small incisions in the skin, opening access to the layer of fat. The latter is destroyed with the help of cannula or laser equipment and is removed by a vacuum pump.
Liposuction helps to get rid of excess volume and improve the contours of the body. After it, the patient quickly recovers. Only a handful of complications are encountered. This causes the widespread popularity of the procedure among women and men.
The traditional vacuum method of removing fat tissue remains popular due to a large number of advantages. These include:
- Possibility of simultaneous removal of up to 10 liters of fat;
- High-quality modeling of body contours, achieved through accurate monitoring of the course of the surgical intervention;
- Almost instantaneous results;
- Possibility of combining with other surgical procedures, including plastic.
However, there are also liposuction disadvantages against innovative cold technology. This is a limitation on the part of the patient’s health, a longer recovery period. Usually, a person needs at least 3-6 weeks to return to a normal lifestyle, which is forced to take sick leave, avoid physical activity, visit beaches, etc. After liposuction, edemas and bruises appear on the body, and sometimes discomfort and painful sensations. To achieve the most positive results, you have to wear a special compression garment.
Cryolipolysis or Fat Freezing: What Is the Technique?
Analog of surgical liposuction is cryolipolysis, or fat freezing. This procedure also helps to get rid of extra pounds but goes on a safer way. We, specialists of the fat freezing treatment in Dubai, prefer it.
This method is a cosmetic procedure. It is produced in a non-invasive way. The essence of the technique is to use a special apparatus that acts on fat cells through cold, which leads to the death of tissues, the reduction of the volume of the body. Technology developed by scientists at the Massachusetts Center. Its duration is about 60 minutes.
The technique operates in a non-invasive way, that is, it does not require anesthesia, incisions, stitches and the subsequent heavy rehabilitation period. The cosmetologist imposes special tips on the problem areas, which locally “emit” low temperatures.
Here we need to consider the degree of resistance of the cells of our body to low temperatures. Skin cells, for example, have a protective function and therefore easily tolerate cold. But the fat cells are designed to accumulate nutrients; they do not have any protective functions. Therefore, when directly exposed to cold, they die, eventually dissolve and are removed from the body.
On average, the process of modeling the silhouette after cryolipolysis takes 2-4 months, but the first results are already visible after a couple of weeks. In addition, if you combine cryolipolysis with massage techniques that stimulate the circulatory and lymphatic systems, the process will be even faster. Liposuction also shows the first results in 2-3 weeks, but the end result and full recovery most often occurs only after 6-12 months.
The only side effects of cryolipolysis are short-term numbness, localized redness or small bruises. Surgery, on the contrary, can leave behind scars, so you will have to additionally turn to laser surgery to eliminate them.
The rehabilitation period after cryoliposuction is not required. The operation requires it always. The surgeon may recommend that you wear a bandage or tight clothes, take anti-inflammatory drugs, and you will also need to visit a doctor to remove postoperative stitches. All these processes can take from 1 to 6 weeks. Agree, long and painful.
The impact of the apparatus, synthesizing cold, gives a number of positive results – it is:
- The minimum number of restrictions for holding;
- Lack of anesthesia, reducing the risk of complications;
- Relatively low cost;
- Possibility of holding without long preparation;
- No long recovery period.
The disadvantages of cryolipolysis include a significantly less pronounced aesthetic effect. The procedure allows only a small decrease in volume. After it is carried out, irregularities in the contours of the body are often observed, which is caused by the uneven death of fat cells. In addition, this procedure is not performed on the face.
Which Procedure to Choose: Liposuction or Cryolipolysis
Removing fat is purely individual. It depends on the initial state of the organism. For striking results, liposuction is required. But it is possible only in the absence of contraindications – pathologies of the heart, blood, blood vessels, diabetes mellitus, oncology, renal and hepatic failure, strong inflammatory process, etc.
Cryolipolysis is advisable to carry out with insignificant fat deposits. It can be an alternative to liposuction for patients with concomitant health problems.
They are aimed only at eliminating excess deposits. To save the results of a surgeon or a cosmetologist, it is necessary to change the lifestyle. This suggests a menu correction. If you don’t follow these rules, you will need to re-expand. This skin is not targeted. If you are a bodybuilder, you are not required to carry out body contours.
Fat freezing treatment is of very high quality in Dubai, which is why we always recommend choosing the best services with us. If you need to get rid of local fat deposits on the abdomen, sides, thighs, back – then laser liposuction is the best method. At the same time, not only the desired contours are obtained, but also the skin is tightened under the new outlines of the body. The whole question is about what amount of fat removal is needed.
So, we hope, we will be able to convince you that the hardware method of correcting the figure at all points is ahead of surgical intervention. Choose only safe methods and come to Dubai, together with you we will develop an ideal weight loss program!
