For people who want to lose weight, if they can't consistently achieve their goals through diet and exercise, or just listen to the folk remedies circulating in the market, they may regain their weight and declare failure. In the past, the general public thought liposuction was the fastest way to eliminate obesity, but with the progress of medicine and the change of concept, liposuction is not the only way, and instead, the concept of "body sculpture" is used to shape the perfect figure.

Dr. Wang Xiangya said that liposuction is not the only way to lose weight, and compound surgery is used for body sculpture. What is "human sculpture"? What's the difference with rapid liposuction? Plastic surgeon Wang Xiangya said that the so-called body sculpture generally refers to various operations to change the contour of the body, including liposuction, abdominal plastic surgery, local tissue resection, etc., with the aim of improving the appearance of the body and making it symmetrical and beautiful. Statue sculpture surgery can eliminate excess accumulated fat in all parts of the body, including chin, abdomen, upper arm, waist, inner and outer thighs and buttocks. However, posture sculpture surgery is not equal to weight loss surgery, and the fat removed at a time cannot exceed 5000 grams; If too much fat is removed at one time, not only the probability of complications such as fat embolism and hemorrhagic shock will increase, but also the anesthesia risk will be greatly improved or even exceeded.

Generally speaking, young people, with good skin elasticity, will not weigh too much more than the ideal weight, and only local fat protrusion can be classified as liposuction objects; However, for patients with loose or obese abdominal skin, the effect of liposuction alone is limited, and local tissue resection and abdominal lifting should be carried out at the same time, which complement each other.

Statue sculpture surgery is liposuction with a water knife to extract excess fat, mainly by injecting liquid into a metal tube, using the pressure of water to flush the adipose tissue, so that the adipose tissue will rupture under water pressure without being destroyed by doctors, and the sucked metal tube will also extract fat and injected liquid at the same time. Then combined with laser fat-dissolving, abdominal sculpture was performed.

The principle of laser lipolysis is to use Nd: YAG laser to penetrate deep into subcutaneous tissue with a tiny optical fiber probe under local anesthesia, and release laser energy to form a light shock wave effect, so that the cell membrane of fat cells is broken and fat is liquefied. Then, fat can excrete liquefied oil through the body's natural metabolic function, and the photothermal effect produced by laser can also tighten the tissue from the inside out, promote long-term collagen proliferation, and make the skin firm and elastic. Liposuction with water jet combined with laser liposuction is a compound therapy with dual effects.

After liposuction, don't lift heavy objects and do strenuous exercise when you go home. Try to keep your head low and your feet high, reduce swelling and avoid dizziness. If you feel dizzy, you should lie down immediately, raise your lower limbs and promote blood return. Small-scale liposuction will not affect work or daily life. Large-scale liposuction can rest 1 to 3 days, but avoid strenuous exercise.

As for the short-term slight redness, fever and cyanosis after laser lipolysis, you can ice it for a few minutes. The treatment site needs to wear a body shaping suit for about 4-5 days, compress the wound, reduce swelling and blood stasis to help shape, and do not use strong force within one week after laser liposuction.
