Trends in Smart Lipo
Liposuction has changed greatly over the years. At one time, liposuction was a rather barbaric procedure. When the procedure was initially performed, it was done with scalpels. The scalpels would turn inside of the body and actually scrape the fat away. People would lose fat, but they would also lose other things, like blood. The procedure did not make it very far.
As more people get liposuction, it is losing the stigma that was associated with it at one time. There was a time when people were embarrassed if they got the surgery. Now, friends talk about it over lunch.
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.
By 1985 the traditional liposuction procedure had gained acceptance within the medical community as a medically sanctioned intervention for the reduction of body fat and contouring of the areas where the fat was removed. As the process of liposuction was used more and more the problems related to its use were addressed and reduced.
It was during the 1990’s that the use of ultra sound was introduced as another way of performing the procedure. The use of high powered sound waves to break down the fatty tissue was a significant step toward making liposuction both safer and less intrusive.
Patients are able to get numbed on the areas that are receiving the surgery and therefore stay awake during the surgery. The complications associated with general anesthesia were thus eliminated.
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.
Still, it was not enough. Even though there were fewer risks, it was still not as safe as the medical community wanted it to be. There were deaths associated with liposuction, and there were other problems as well. The community worked hard to find a solution that would present more benefits and fewer risks.
