抽脂术

Many people in Northern California cities like San Francisco, 纳帕, 萨克拉门托, and San Jose choose liposuction even though they prioritize exercise and good nutrition and maintain a healthy weight. 抽脂术 is a procedure that removes fat from your body, 无论是腹部周围多余的脂肪, 在下巴和脖子下面, 或者在你的大腿上. It’s sometimes known as “body sculpting” because it can reshape areas of your body that may seem out of proportion.

关于吸脂

抽脂术 can help sculpt your body by removing fat from specific areas. The procedure is intended to treat pockets of fat, not to remove fat from large, overall areas. 吸脂不是治疗肥胖的方法. It does not usually improve rippling on the skin surface, and is not a way to treat cellulite.

抽脂术 may be performed on multiple areas of the body during a single procedure. 抽脂术 is usually effective on areas such as the cheeks, 垂下眼睛, 脖子, 上臂, 乳房或胸部, 回来, 腹部, 腰, 臀部, 臀部, 大腿内侧和外侧, 内心的膝盖, 小牛, 和脚踝.

治疗是什么样的?

一个小, hollow tube called a cannula is inserted into your body through one or more tiny incisions near the area to be treated. 的切口, 哪些产品通常小于1 / 4英寸, 放置在你身体不显眼的地方. 该管连接到真空压力单元, 当外科医生引导塑料管时, 该单位吸出脂肪.

The length of the procedure varies with the amount of fat and the number of areas to be treated. Treatments generally last two to four hours, and you can usually go home the same day.

我是候选人吗??

抽脂术 is generally effective on people with good skin tone who have small pockets of excess fat in certain areas. 年龄不是主要考虑因素, 但是老年人的皮肤缺乏弹性, 可能无法达到和年轻人一样的效果.

In determining whether you’re a good candidate for liposuction, your surgeon will consider your current weight and whether you plan to lose or gain weight in the future. Not everyone will achieve the same results from liposuction. 抽脂并不能代替健康的减肥. 被认为肥胖的人, 对自己的体重有不切实际的期望, 肤色不好, or have medical problems may not be good candidates for liposuction.

治疗前后我能期待什么?

之前你的治疗

你要先和外科医生会诊, who will ask you about your health goals as well as evaluate your skin tone, 脂肪沉积的大小和位置, 以及你的健康状况. 在一起, you’ll discuss your different options and decide what treatments may be appropriate for you.

如果你要做抽脂手术, you’ll be asked to stop smoking and to stop using nicotine patches and gum. You may also be asked to stop taking certain medications, including some that may increase bleeding. Your surgeon will provide you with instructions on how you should prepare for your surgery.

就在你手术之前, 你会得到安慰的药物, 医生会给你麻醉. 这取决于您的独特需求, 你可以决定用局部麻醉, 静脉镇静, 一个硬膜外块, 或全身麻醉.

一个典型的抽脂手术需要1到2小时. The length of the procedure varies greatly depending on the number of areas to be treated and the technique to be used. Your surgeon can give you a better idea of how long your procedure will take.

The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis at one of our hospitals or surgical centers. We recommend that you make arrangements for someone to drive you home after your treatment is complete.

你的治疗后

Right after your surgery, you’ll be moved to a recovery room where we’ll monitor you. 一个小 tube may be inserted beneath your skin to help prevent fluid buildup. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to reduce the risk of 感染.

你可能会感到不舒服, but we’ll work with you to relieve pain and help you feel as comfortable as possible. 你的医疗团队可能会给你贴上弹性绷带, 海绵, 或在处理区域上方的特殊设计的服装. Your surgeon will tell you how to remove the dressings for showers and will tell you when you can remove them for good.

每个人的康复过程都不一样. 手术后的第二天, your care team may tell you to move around to get your blood circulating. You may also be advised to refrain from smoking or taking certain medications while you recover.

你会有肿胀和瘀伤，这是正常的. The swelling will begin to go away about a week after surgery. Bruising can last three weeks or longer, and numbness may last several weeks. 通常在10天内拆线.

也许过几天你就能回去工作了, it may be one to two weeks before you can get 回来 to your full normal routine. The extent of your surgery will determine the length of your recovery.

你可以立即看到这个过程的结果, and the may last for a long time if you maintain a healthy weight.

有什么风险吗??

As with any surgery, there are risks associated with liposuction. 其中一些风险包括出血, 感染, 伤疤, 不对称, 皮肤的波纹, 暂时失去皮肤感觉. 在凯萨医疗机构, we believe you should fully understand all that’s involved in your surgery and have realistic expectations. Your surgeon will take the time you need to discuss the potential risks as well as postoperative care.
