Liposculpture
WHAT IS LIPOSCULPTURE ATTENDED BY ULTRASOUND?
|

The sound waves are able to modify the organic
structure when they are transmitted through the
fluids. The ultrasound was used for the first
time, in a surgery of cataracts during the 1960s
with the introduction of the facoemulsion.
Its use has been extended to diverse branches of
surgery; its objective has been the destruction
of selective unwanted tissue.
Italian doctor, Michele Zocchi, in 1988, was the
first Plastic Surgeon who applied the ultrasonic
waves to selectively destroy the fat cells of
the body, the formidable results encouraged
investigations at world-wide level which still
continue; for that reason technology and
knowledge undergo transformations, and new
concepts and indications appear.
For a sound wave, which is mechanical energy, to
become ultrasonic, its frequency should be over
16000 kHz. In Plastic Surgery, this is generated
from crystals that have the piezoelectric
ability; this means that they are able to deform
with alternating electrical current. These
fluctuations of the deformation produce
vibrations in ultrasonic frequencies; the same
ones that amplified are canalized through a
cannula, which is introduced between the fat
cells, and destabilizes them, causing the
rupture of their cellular membranes, releasing
its content, which is sucked at low pressure by
the cannula. This is how the ultrasound is used
to sculpt the body.

The best candidates for the liposculpture attended
with ultrasound (LAU) are the same as those for
liposculpture attended by suction (SALT).The
patients who have a normal weight, elastic skin but
with fat build-up that doesn’t disappear with
exercise or dieting.
To choose
the ideal method to perform the liposculpture depends on the experience and
training of the surgeon, both techniques, the one attended by suction LAS
(conventional) and the one assisted by ultrasound LAU, have advantages when
comparing them, with specific indications that, to certain extent makes them
complementary. The surgeon will be the one to decide which one is the best
for you.
On the other
hand liposculpture isn’t recommended for patients with systemic, cardiac, or
pulmonary diseases, diabetes or degenerative sicknesses. The specific
complication that can develop with the use of ultrasound is the local
burning of the skin, complication that is avoided if the plastic surgeon is
well trained in this technique.
Finally, the
liposculpture is a simple surgical procedure, meant for patients who have
decided to change their lifestyle to a healthier and more disciplined one.
For that reason the patient must make the commitment to take care of the
surgery results by exercising and dieting.
