Trends in Smart Lipo

By Art Gib

Over the years, liposuction has evolved to the point it is at now. At one time, it was a procedure for the rich. Wealthy people would disappear for a few weeks and come back to the social circuit thinner than they were when they left. Now, liposuction is more inclusive. The prices have dropped dramatically, and the procedure is much safer than it was in the past. That means more people are now turning to liposuction as a way to get the body they want.

But it wasn't until 1982 that the modern liposuction as we know today burst on to the scene. The French physician, Dr. Yves-Gerard Illouz, presented the "Illouz Method." Dr. Illouz's method injected a sterile fluid known as lidocane into fatty tissue, thus making it more malleable and then using a surgical cannula and a high volume suction device to remove the fat.

Following the presentation and several medical journal articles the procedure found its way to the United States where several physicians experimented with the procedure. It was from these experiments that several variations emerged.

The wet technique was introduced and it made the surgery much safer. It cut down on the amount of bleeding, and also made the recovery time much shorter. Basically, the cannula no longer attacked dry areas of fat. Instead, a saline solution was applied to the fat in order to moisturize the fat and make it safer to remove. It allowed the process to go much smoother than it had in the past.

This method helped people lose fat, but it also had a lot of risks associated with it. There was a great deal of blood loss, and it became apparent that a different method was going to have to be developed if it was going to be a widespread procedure. Most people were not willing to put up with the pain, let alone the great risk.

The result of 30 years of advancement in the field of liposuction has meant that more fatty material can now be removed while reducing blood loss, discomfort, and risk for the average patient. In fact, one of the more significant outcomes for this procedure is what has become known as autologous fat transfer, or the reintroduction of removed body fat into other areas of the body where body contouring is wanted.

Great strides have been made around this procedure. In fact, with the introduction of Smart Lipo what can be best described as a revolution in how traditional liposuction is done today. Smart Lipo shares some similarities with the more traditional liposuction procedures, but the cannula used is much narrower, allowing for smaller incisions and less scaring. This cannula contains laser inside it which emits energy into the targeted fat cells thus breaking them down. Without their cell walls to separate them, the fat takes on a liquid consistency, being easily suctioned from the body.

This process allows for less bruising and swelling, which means it does not take as much time for patients to recover. It is just one of the options available for those who are looking into liposuction. - 17274
