ADIPOSITA’ LOCALIZED

DEFINITION: For localized fat means an accumulation of fat in specific areas (hips, buttocks , abdomen ...) that does not respond to dietary , compromising the achievement of the desired physical form.

ETIOLOGY: It affects both sexes and usually the fat is localized on the hips in women (saddlebags) , in the vicinity of the knees and more rarely on the belly which is instead the area in which they tend to accumulate men. The causes are: a genetic predisposition , the level of physical activity and the percentage of fat mass.

SYMPTOMS: The localized fat is usually asymptomatic but in some cases can lead to the irritation caused by chafing or inflammatory.

DIAGNOSIS : The diagnosis is clinical (Visit Specialist), in some cases ultrasound can detect accurately the thickness of the adipose tissue and the Doppler ultrasound can provide information on the hemodynamic component of venous stasis.

TREATMENT: The treatment is essentially surgical through aspiration of excess adipose tissue. To date practicable in addition to the traditional liposuction under general anesthesia there is a minimally invasive technique, lipolaser, executable under local anesthesia which contemplates the dissolution of the fat before its aspiration.

COMPLICATIONS: In experienced hands, the complications of this surgery are very rare, however, that essentially represented by hematomas resorb within a short time.

LIPOSUCTION AND CLASSICAL Lipolaser

Indications for surgery

The indication for surgery is when the accumulation of fat is no longer responsive to diet, altering the profile of the subject and / or creating functional impacci.

Results

The aim of the intervention is to reach the pre-set in the visit. It uses both the volumetric effect (removal of adipose tissue) that the "lifting" effect (the space left by the removed tissue that retracts). It is important to be aware that the result is obtained only if the patient follows the dictates of the surgeon precise (controlled diet, lifestyle, contenitive sheaths etc.).

The intervention

Liposuction classical you run into spinal or general anesthesia depending on the extent, the localization and characteristics of the patient and can last from 30 minutes per hour. Inject liquid solutions particular at the level of the subcutaneous tissue in order to create a more agile vasoconstriction and allow aspiration of the fabrics that are crushed and removed through a cannula introduced through hollow minimal skin incisions (5 mm). The lipolaser is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. We make tiny incisions from 2 a4 depending on the areas to be treated which is inserted MicroCannula that contains the fiber laser. The fat is melted by the laser beam and subsequently the liquefied adipose tissue is aspirated through the same cannula. After completion of the work will be placed on the micro-incisions of plasters and sheaths contenitive lower limbs.

Conclusions relating to the intervention

• Duration intervention: 30/60 my ( in relation to the type)
