For many people, unwanted areas of exercise-resistant fat are becoming a common concern for surgery. Whether the fat areas come in the form of belly fat after pregnancy or the fat areas around thighs and love handles, get rid permanently of these areas is difficult. There are lots of options available for fat removal. And these options are classified into three categories. Let’s know about the procedures to help you determine the best surgery to remove fat.
Fat Removal Options
Surgery options are usually divided into three types:
- Invasive procedures
- Minimally- invasive surgery
- Non-surgical procedure
What are invasive procedures?
This procedure of fat removal surgery involves general anesthesia, large cuts, and incisions. This procedure is used for fat removal from the belly and breast reduction. Some of the disadvantages of invasive procedures are that it is quite painful and stressful for the patients to bear. Plus, this procedure requires lengthy recovery, and a high risk of infection is involved in it because of the large surgical cuts.
What is minimally invasive surgery?
Unlike invasive procedures, this procedure involves smaller cuts and incisions or none in the area to be treated. This procedure involves a smaller incision or sometimes none at all. The incisions or cuts performed are hardly noticeable. This procedure has several advantages such as minimal pain, fast and easy recovery, minimal scarring or bruising and low risk of infections because of the small cuts.
What are non-surgical procedures?
The non-surgical procedure also called the non-invasive procedure is also very popular for the removal of excessive fat. There are lots of advantages of non-surgical treatment. In this procedure, no cuts or incision is needed and fat can be removed with minimal downtime. This process will not give scars or bruising as no cuts are involved in this procedure. Another good thing about this procedure is that the body fat is removed naturally and does not involve the suctioning of fat from the body. There is no recovery period required after this course of action.
Liposuction (Minimally-invasive)
The liposuction procedure is mainly used for the improvement of appearance as this procedure treats the area of fat that is exercise and diet-resistant. The liposuction procedure reduces the number of fat cells in the area with excessive fat. The areas that can be treated by liposuction are the abdomen, back, thighs, buttocks, chest, double chin, and upper arms.
Cryolipolysis (non-surgical procedure)
Cryolipolysis is also known as CoolSculpting is a non-surgical or noninvasive procedure that uses cold temperature to break down the fat cells of the area to be treated. Unlike other types of cells, fat cells are susceptible to cold. This is one of the most well-liked methods for fat removal. However, people with cold-related conditions should not have that.
Since the invasive procedure for fat removal involves a high risk of infection and pain, minimally invasive and non-surgical options are gaining popularity in those seeking treatments for fat reduction. However, due to growing modernization and advancements in cosmetic surgeries, patients are choosing Liposuction or Cryolipolysis procedure. Cryolipolysis is by far one of the best non-surgical procedures. This procedure is safe, effective, and provides permanent results.
