Liposuction in Honolulu is a surgical procedure that vacuums unwanted and disproportioned fats from different parts of the body. Liposuction in Honolulu can also slim the hips and thighs, flatten the abdomen, and remove double chin. Liposuction in Honolulu can give a slender and well proportioned look. However, it is not the solution to lose weight.
Body parts not responsive to exercise and diet accumulate fats. Younger patients of liposuction in Honolulu have more elastic skin that’s why they tend to get the best result because their skin smoothly re-contours after the operation. However, for older patients whose skin may not be as elastic compared to younger patients, a skin-tightening procedure called abdominoplasty may be required. Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck removes excess fat as well as excess skin, just like liposuction in Honolulu.
Liposuction in Honolulu cannot correct contours that resulted from hernia and skin laxity due to multiple pregnancies and cellulite. However, if combined with other surgical procedures, liposuction in Honolulu can yield to better results. Body areas that respond well to liposuction in Honolulu are cheeks and neck, upper arm, chest and breast area, waistline and abdomen, hips and buttocks, outer and inner thighs and the knees, calves and ankles.
Liposuction in Honolulu only requires little anesthesia. Incisions in the patient’s skin are positioned adjacent to the areas that need treatment. A suction metal tube called cannula is connected to a surgical vacuum machine and syringe is inserted into the incisions and directed below the skin where fat deposits are found. Liposuction in Honolulu usually takes an hour but, it still depends on the number of areas to be treated and the size of the area to be treated.
Several liposuction procedures in Honolulu procedures can be performed. One of which is the Tumescent liposuction in Honolulu, where a huge amount of anesthetic is applied to the treated area. This can reduce the pain, swelling, and bleeding caused by liposuction in Honolulu.
The Wet and Super-Wet liposuction in Honolulu technique applies a small amount of anesthetic. This process lessens the blood loss when carrying out liposuction in Honolulu. Wet and Super-Wet liposuction in Honolulu technique is usually applied when multiple areas are to be treated.
The Autologous Fat Grafting liposuction in Honolulu procedure transfers fats to an area where the patient desires to increase fullness. These areas are usually the lips, lines in the face, and areas of cellulite dimpling. Several patients request their excess fat to be transferred to the breast to increase its fullness, however it is not advisable because it can result to early signs of breast cancer.
After the liposuction in Honolulu surgery, patient may feel stiff and sore. The day after surgery, the patient should be able to move and walk around to promote normal circulation. There will be bruising and swelling of the skin for about two weeks after liposuction in Honolulu. Patient will be asked to wear a special compression garment which puts pressure on the treated area and minimize swelling and can support healing. The special compression garment also retracts the skin. The patient can go back to normal work within 3 to 5 days but strenuous activities are not advisable. These kinds of activities can be done after 10 to 14 days.
