Facts about Breast Liposuction

Breast liposuction is a form of surgery that is used to remove surplus or excess fat using small pipes known as cannulas. The part of the breast is slit to form incisions where the pipes are inserted and the fat removed. It works in much the same way a vacuum cleaner works by sucking out fat particles out of the breast. To avoid too much pain, local anesthetics are injected on the body before the incision is made. Many women have had cases of breast reduction by liposuction successfully in many parts of the world. Breast liposuction via laser machines is also available in more developed countries. It works by melting the fat in the breast and easily removing it.

How To Prepare For Breast Liposuction

Before deciding to undergo breast liposuction, it is important to have several consultations with a qualified plastic surgeon and understanding all that pertain to breast liposuction. That way, patients know what they are getting into before the actually begin the surgery. The surgeon will also examine the breasts and offer advice on what forms of liposuction a patient should use and the benefits for each of them. This consultation should also highlight any risks associated with breast liposuction and to confirm that the patient is actually fit for the surgery. To check for this, several blood tests are conducted and the patient is asked to reveal their medical history to ensure that the surgery goes well and that they are not allergic to any particular drugs.

In addition, patients are required to sign a consent form indicating that they know of the implications of the surgery and that they have agreed to it. After all this, surgery can then be scheduled and the breast liposuction process can begin. Patients should be told exactly what will happen during the surgery and informed of whatever medication they will have to take. This way, they do not get into a panic when they wake up and find that their breasts look or feel pale or they are covered in bandages. Such things have been known to cause post-surgery trauma especially when patients were not informed of the process after the surgery. Most patients assume that they will simply go back to normal a few days after the breast liposuction. Other than that, they are advised to keep away from pain relievers like aspirins and ibuprofen for at least a week before the breast liposuction.
