Do I need to insert a catheter for liposuction?

Whether thigh liposuction needs catheterization depends on your own situation, and generally no intubation is needed. Under normal circumstances, liposuction can only be carried out under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, which is generally unnecessary. General anesthesia also depends on how many parts to be sucked and the operation time. If there are many parts to be extracted, the amount of fat is large and the time is long, it is necessary to insert a catheter. If there are few liposuction sites, it is generally not necessary to insert a catheter. It is suggested to control diet, avoid overeating, and appropriately increase some exercise in daily life.

How long does it take to pull out the liposuction catheter?

In general, it is recommended to remove the catheter in about 1 ~ 3 days after inserting the catheter. The purpose of catheter insertion is to discharge urine in time when urine cannot be solved by itself. This is an emergency measure. We need to find out why urine is unrecognizable. The common causes for men are prostatic hyperplasia and neurogenic bladder. Because if the cause is not solved, after the catheter is removed, there will still be cases where urine cannot solve itself. Generally, surgical treatment is recommended for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Will liposuction drop the scale?

Liposuction will drop the scale and improve obesity. Liposuction surgery needs to make a small incision in the local area, then put the catheter into the fat, and use the principle of negative pressure to extract the local excess fat, which can improve the symptoms of local fat accumulation in a short time. Because the local fat is extracted, it will fall off the scale and lose weight. After the treatment, you must control your diet reasonably, try to avoid the intake of high-calorie and high-fat foods, eat some fresh fruits and vegetables properly, and don't overeat.

Should liposuction be hospitalized?

Whether beauty seekers need liposuction in hospital depends on the liposuction range chosen. Generally, liposuction of the waist and abdomen, bilateral legs, back, chest and upper limbs will be hospitalized. Beauty seekers should understand that these operations are usually performed under the anesthesia of an anesthesiologist. At this time, you need to be hospitalized, and you should choose anesthesia for surgery.

Anesthesiologists usually choose spinal anesthesia, epidural anesthesia or general anesthesia according to the specific scope of liposuction surgery for beauty seekers, which can alleviate the pain caused by liposuction during surgery. When some beauty seekers only perform liposuction on their calves, upper arms or abdomen, they can choose outpatient surgery because the scope of surgery is relatively small.
