Liposuction Ohio - What Kind Of Liposuction Gets Rid Of Cellulite?
One of the risks of all types of liposuction is contour irregularities of the skin. When a patient thinks about their ideal result from liposuction, they imagine a nice, smooth, flat or gently curved contour of the skin surface. In order to accomplish that goal, plastic surgeons performing liposuction direct their attention to deep pockets of fat, near the underlying muscle which is where most patients gain their excess weight. When very superficial fat is removed, the void created allows the overlying skin to fall inward creating an indentation or contour irregularity which can be difficult to correct.
On most areas of the body, human beings have two layers of fat. One is more superficial, just under the skin. The other is deeper, near the muscle. Separating these two layers is a micro-thin membrane which has connections to the overlying skin. These connections have vital structures going to the skin such as small blood vessels and nerves. When fat collects in the superficial layer, these connections prevent the skin from bulging outwards, creating small indentations which are commonly referred to as cellulite.
Since liposuction is directed at the deeper fat level, the superficial layer remains essentially unchanged; therefore, any cellulite looks about the same as it did before surgery. Various techniques have been invented to improve the appearance of cellulite without any reliable success. One such procedure involves repeated sessions of a rolling vacuum along with a strict diet and high water intake. Recently this has fallen out of favor due to unreliable outcomes.
It is not uncommon to hear of various products or procedures that are ‘FDA approved’ for getting rid of cellulite. Unfortunately, the FDA is more concerned with safety than it is about efficacy. ‘FDA approval’ means that the procedure or product has been deemed safe by the FDA; it does not mean that it will be successful or provide reliable results.
