Liposuction of often thought of by women as a way to look slimmer. Most plastic surgeons agree. They use liposuction as a way to shave off pockets of fat where needed. However, as the technology and views of beauty have progressed curbs and form are now equally as important. It is not only important to remove the fat in areas of concern, but also to add where necessary.
But the truth of the matter is that liposculpture and liposuction are interchangeable. Patients who undergo liposculpture have liposuction. Fat is removed by different techniques: LASER, suction, ultrasound, etc. The inventors of the various forms of the removal claim their form of fat removal is less "stressful" to the tissue, less "traumatic" and ensures less downtime and more rapid healing.
Consider this: the less surgery you have performed, the less healing that has to occur, and thus allowing you a faster the return to daily activities. Therefore the more surgery you undergo, as well as the more invasive surgery that is performed is, there more noticeable result.
Whatever form of surgery that is performed creates local tissue injury. The local tissue injury results in immediate post-operative swelling. The swelling is to be expected and is a normal part of the healing process. It takes time to resolve. It is not uncommon for patients immediately post-op to have less swelling than they do one week after surgery. For the most part, patients who undergo liposuction need to wear post-operative girdles and garments to help control the post-operative edema and swelling to facilitate more rapid and controlled healing.
