Liposuction Procedure: What Does 2022 Hold For Women?
There are a lot of common concerns for many cosmetic surgery patients like areas of unwanted, diet- and exercise-resistant fat, whether it comes in a form of a persistent stomach after pregnancy, areas of fat around the thigh that would not budge no matter how many dietary choices or exercise you do, or bulges along the flanks and back.
People use liposuction for a more contoured body shape in New Orleans, which is safe, effective, and could permanently reduce fat and refine the body’s contours. Here are a few things you could learn about liposuction procedures: What does 2021 hold for women?
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical fat removal procedure that became popular back in the 1980s. A board-certified cosmetic surgeon would carefully and precisely remove some of your excess fat through a small, hollow tube called a cannula. In order to move the cannula through the fat deposit, a cushion is applied to remove excess fat cells and sculpt a slimmer body contour.
Commonly targeted areas for liposuction treatment:
- Upper arms
- Necklines and the area under the chin
- Hips
- Chest
- Back
- Abdomen
- Buttocks
- Inner knees
- Flanks or love handles
- Outer thighs
- Inner thighs
- Saddlebags
How do nonsurgical procedures work?
1. SculpSure
SculpSure is a non-invasive laser body contouring that could remove unwanted fat beneath the chin, love handles, back, stomach, and inner and outer thighs. This is ideal for patients who are close to their target weight, but they want to reduce stubborn, exercise- and diet-resistant fat pockets.
SculpSure destroys fat cells through heat through a process known as apoptosis. They could permanently remove up to 24 percent of fat cells in the treated area of your choice.
2. truSculpt
Similar to CoolSculpting, this treatment utilizes controlled radiofrequency technology to eliminate fat cells on the hips, thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. The treatment would last around an hour and most patients would require one to two treatments to see noticeable results.
3. BodyTite
If you are looking for a minimally invasive procedure that tightens skin and reduces unwanted fat deposits by using radiofrequency energy, BodyTite could be an option that you could consider. It is considered minimally invasive because there is a small incision that must be made in order for your surgeon to insert the internal applicator probe.
It is a great option for people who have small to moderate amounts of excess fat and loose skin and want to avoid the extensive downtime that comes with surgery. The final results would appear after 2 to 3 weeks and patients can expect to see continued skin tightening in the months following their procedure because BodyTite promotes collagen production in the skin.
4. CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a good procedure for people who are close to their target weight but want to reduce small and localized trouble spots on the hips, abdomen, and thighs. This uses a cryolipolysis device to cool some of your unwanted fat cells to the point of death without affecting the surrounding tissue.
The fat cells are then flushed from the body during the days and weeks following the procedures once the fat cells die. You would be able to see the final results after 3 months.
5. SmartLipo
Also known as laser liposuction, SmartLipo uses wavelength laser technology to shed unwanted fat around the muscles and tighten loose and sagging skin without surgery. There is a very small tube that is inserted into the treatment areas so that they could remove any excess liquid that would accumulate during the procedure.
This is ideal for areas of the face that traditional liposuction can not adequately address the jowls, chins, jaws, and neck because of the small tube that was used. This is also ideal for contouring areas of the body that hold stubborn fats like abs, back, flanks, thighs, buttocks, and upper arms.
2022 Trends on Liposuction
1. Skin Tightening, Liposuction, Coolsculpting
Liposuction could help in reducing your fat in certain areas of your body and has always been popular but it is still expected to slightly rise in their procedures.
2. Non-Surgical Injectable Fillers
Botox and other injectable fillers would continue to grow in popularity because more people would then see the benefits of these procedures compared to a more invasive surgical procedure.
3. Breast Augmentation
There are techniques for performing breast augmentation that has evolved over the years, which would lead to reduced recovery times and less pain making this procedure one of the most popular surgical procedures.
4. Laser Resurfacing and Skin Care
Laser resurfacing is a great way to help eliminate blemishes, scarring, and redness from the face, as well as reduce wrinkles. Right now, there are a variety of skincare products that are available to help improve your skin imperfection and tighten your skin.
Surgical and non-surgical procedures continue to rise in popularity as we move through 2021, and possibly into 2022 with different facial procedures leading the pack and body enhancements right behind them.
If you want to reduce large deposits of excess fat, liposuction is an excellent option that you could consider. You could take advice from a board-certified cosmetic surgeon to walk you through the options during a personalized cosmetic consultation to help you determine which might fit you best.
