Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is a procedure that reshapes and slims certain areas of the body. It removes extra deposits of fat, helps your body look considerably more flattering, which enhances your self-esteem.
Mesotherapy is used for the same reason as Liposuction, but done with a different technique. The doctor infuses ingredients that could include agents that open blood vessels, enzymes, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory meds, and hormones. Mesotherapy has not been approved by the FDA and continues to be shrouded in mystery. It has been used widely in Europe, but only recently introduced in the United States. There are no proven scientific studies that mesotherapy even works, including possible side affects, and the time the wanted results will last. This treatment is not an alternative to liposuction. The cost of mesotherapy is anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 with no proof that it will work.
Despite dieting and exercise, some people may still have problem areas with local fat deposits. Depending on your genes, that cellulite could be due to family traits and not the inability to diet. Liposuction will reshape and slim certain areas of your body as it trims excess fat. Your body will look better, more proportioned, and your self-esteem will be enhanced.
You will be prescribed medications to ensure your comfort. The type of anesthesia will be decided by your doctor. The procedure consists of very small incisions that cannot be seen. Sterile solution is injected to reduce trauma and bleeding. The doctor then inserts a hollow tube, or cannula, through those inconspicuous incisions that will loosen the fat with a back and forth motion. He then suctions out the dislodged fat by using a type of vacuum or syringe that he attaches to the cannula.
Once the fluid retention and the swelling subside, you will notice a big difference in the contours of your body. Don’t subject yourself to lifting heavy items, use excessive force, or move around suddenly until you are healed. Recovery could take a few months for the swelling to fully recede. As the healing time goes on, your new body shape will continue to develop. The great results from liposuction will continue as long as you eat healthy and control your weight.
With mesotherapy, there is a risk of getting diabetes or cardiovascular disease because of the way fat is released into the system during the procedure. Some doctors say that the excess fat is absorbed by the blood vessels, and others say it just goes to other tissues in the body. For example, if the fat is taken from your thigh and it travels to your heart or liver, it can cause diabetes. Fatty acids are not removed, but redirected in the body, and are supposed to slough off in body waste or by the blood system. But this theory is still unproven.
