Waist Liposuction: Advantages and Disadvantages of Fat Removal Methods

The waist area is one of the most popular places for the localization of body fat. It is quite possible to get rid of fat ballast in this zone, however, exercises combined with a diet, although they provide good results, require a lot of time and effort. For those wishing to return a thin waist as soon as possible, aesthetic doctors offer to use the method of waist liposuction. To date, there are several varieties of this method - from traditional liposuction to more gentle procedures using ultrasound and other equipment.

Waist liposuction: how to choose the right fat removal method

If you decide to do waist liposuction, you must understand that the term "liposuction" is appropriate to use to refer to a vacuum or tumescent method of its implementation, in which destroyed fat deposits are removed from the treated area by suction.

Waist is one of the most popular places for localization of body fat.

The essence of vacuum liposuction is to make incisions and insert an instrument that destroys fat deposits. After destruction, the fat is removed from the treated area by using a vacuum apparatus, i.e. pumped out. It is this method that is most effective in the case of a large amount of fat deposits in the problem area, but also the most traumatic. Tumescent liposuction differs from vacuum liposuction only by the introduction of a special Klein solution, which facilitates the removal of fat and constricts blood vessels.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia, the result is visible immediately after the procedure, however, the disadvantages of the method are:

• relatively large incisions;
• risk of vascular damage;
• risk of complications.

Waist liposuction using non-surgical methods

Non-surgical liposuction, also called lipolysis, is a more gentle method of dealing with fat deposits in the waist. The most commonly used non-surgical methods include:

1. Ultrasonic liposuction (lipolysis)

This procedure allows you to get rid of 3-5 cm in the waist in 1 session. To destroy fat, high-power ultrasonic waves are used, under the influence of which fat cells are torn, and their contents enter the intercellular space, from where it is subsequently excreted in a natural way - with a lymph flow.

The advantages of ultrasonic liposuction are:

• no injuries;
• no recovery period;
• painless;
• result duration;
• noticeable effect after 1 session.

2. Laser liposuction (lipolysis)

The essence of laser lipolysis is the destruction of fat cells with a laser beam. If necessary, it is possible to use a cannula to remove fat. A couple of weeks after the procedure, the destroyed adipose tissue is removed from the body, as in the case of ultrasonic liposuction, in a natural way.

Laser lipolysis is generally used to remove small amounts of fat deposits.

Skin tightening after the procedure is one of the advantages of laser lipolysis, along with:

• minor blood loss;
• general less traumatic;
• no scarring;
• short recovery period;
• the ability to fight fat deposits in hard-to-reach places.

3. Radiofrequency liposuction

This method of liposuction of the waist consists in the destruction of subcutaneous fat by exposure to radio frequencies. The main advantage of this type of non-surgical liposuction is the pronounced effect of skin tightening. Other benefits of the method include:

• low traumatism;
• high efficiency;
• the ability to remove fat in hard-to-reach places;
• visible effect after the procedure.

Before liposuction of the waist, it is necessary to undergo a preliminary consultation and pass the necessary tests, during which contraindications to the procedure may be identified. The doctor will tell you about the peculiarities of the recovery period after the chosen procedure.
