Liposuction Thailand Plastic Surgery
A Leaner, Sexier Physique Awaits You!
Many people worldwide choose Liposuction to remedy
problem areas and enhance body image. At ThaiMed, our doctors utilize the revolutionary Tumescent Liposuction as
it does not require general anesthesia and has a faster recovery
time with the same, beautifully sculpted results. Most patients
are able to return to normal activity within a few days!
With the tumescent technique, areas
of excess fat are injected with a large amount of anesthetic liquid
before liposuction is performed. The liquid enlarges ("tumesces")
the compartments of fat, which allows the liposuction cannula to
travel smoothly beneath the skin as the fat is removed. The anesthetic
liquid will also serve to help provide pain relief after the procedure
and decrease the need for additional pain medication. Our patients
have seen a noticeable difference almost immediately after surgery.
 Plastic Surgery Liposuction Areas: Bangkok Thailand Liposuction

Abdomnioplasty: Plastic Surgery Liposuction of the Stomach Region
The abdomen is the most common area of the body to be treated by liposuction among both men and women. Important factors that affect the success of abdominal liposuction include: the amount and location of abdominal fat, history of weight gain and weight loss, history of pregnancy, and the age and the sex of the patient.

Anterior Thigh Lipo: Plastic Surgery Liposuction of the Inner Thigh
On the anterior thighs, optimally smooth results are more important than maximal volume reduction. Excessive liposuction of the anterior thighs can easily produce ugly irregularities of the skin. Removing more than 60 % of the subcutaneous fat of the anterior thigh is associated with a relatively high incidence of patient dissatisfaction.

Back Lipoplasty: Plastic Surgery Liposuction of the Back (Female)
Liposuction of the female back can produce dramatic improvements. The fat on the back can be subdivided into several important areas:
-Infra-scapular fat located above the waist and below the shoulders.
-This is the unsightly fat that bulges just below the bra strap.
-Posterior axillary fat is located on the upper-outer back near the armpit.
-Posterior waist fat is located above and posterior to the hips.
-Lumbo-sacral fat pad is located in midline of the lower back above the tailbone.
-Buffalo hump consists of fat located on the upper back near the neck.

Mammoplasty: Plastic Surgery Liposuction of the Breasts (Female)
Tumescent liposuction of the female breast can produce both a significant breast reduction and a moderate but gratifying breast lift. The use of microcannulas permits breast reduction with minimal postoperative pain, rapid postoperative recovery, quick return to normal activities, and virtually no scaring. Not only can liposuction reduce the female breast by more than 50 percent in size, the breasts are also lifted to a significant degree.

|
Mammoplasty: Plastic Surgery Liposuction of the Breast (Male)
The goal for liposuction of the male breast is simple: Improve the patient's physical appearance by removing as much fat as possible while avoiding any damage to skin or muscles. Liposuction of the male breast is one of the four areas on men most commonly treated by liposuction. The other areas are the abdomen, flanks, and chin/cheek/jowls. Male patients with excessive fat in their breasts can expect significant improvement.

Buttox Lipoplasty: Plastic Surgery Liposuction of the Buttocks
Using microcannulas and tumescent liposuction techniques, the size and shape of the buttocks can be improved, and can produce excellent, symmetric, and smooth results. Microcannulas have a diameter of less than 3 mm or less than 1/8 of an inch. In contrast, liposuction of the buttocks using large cannulas is more likely to cause irregular shape and lumpiness. Larger cannulas are somewhat old fashioned.

|
Facial Lipoplasty: Plastic Surgery Liposuction of the Face & Neck
Tumescent liposuction is the safest and usually the most effective technique for removing fat from the chin, cheeks and jowls. Liposuction involves fewer complications, fewer scars, avoids the dangers of general anesthesia, has a more rapid recovery, lower costs, and typically gives a more natural appearance compared to a facelift.

|
Flank Lipoplasty: Plastic Surgery Liposuction of the Lower Back (Male)
The male flanks, also known as love-handles, are located just above the crest of the hip bone. In the female the identical anatomic area is called the waist. The male flanks are a localized accumulation of fat that bulges over the belt-line in a most unflattering fashion and is accentuated by a pair of pants with a tight belt. When viewed from behind, the bulging male flanks appear bigger because the largest bulk tends to be the back.
|
|
Inner Thigh Lipoplasty: Plastic Surgery Liposuction of the Inner Thighs
The inner thigh area is a common area of concern among women who seek liposuction. Inner thigh liposuction can significantly improve the silhouette of the thigh and reduce the rubbing together of the inner thighs. Ideally, there should be no significant lumpiness or irregularity of shape, and no visible evidence of a surgical procedure. Occasionally a male patient will request liposuction of the upper inner thigh.
|
|
Leg Lipoplasty: Plastic Surgery Liposuction of the Legs & Ankles
The distribution and proportion of localized fat on female legs and ankles is genetically predetermined. Women who have a disproportionate and displeasing distribution of fat on their legs often find that this fat is resistant to diet and exercise.
|
|
Outer Thigh Lipoplasty : Plastic Surgery Liposuction of the Outer Thigh
Fat on female thighs and hips is largely determined by inherited genetics, and it is resistant to exercise and dieting. The lack of visible improvement in the shape or size despite vigorous exercise can be a nightmare. Fat thighs tend to convey an image of maturity, an inactive life style, and self-conscious embarrassment. In contrast, long slender thighs suggest youth, athleticism, and vitality. Liposuction helps you look and feel better!

Tumescent Liposuction Thailand
Tumescent liposuction refers to a technique that uses large volumes of very dilute local anesthesia that is injected into the fat causing the targeted areas to be come tumescent, or swollen and firm. Local anesthesia is widely regarded as the safest form of anesthesia. Because local anesthesia persists for many hours there is no need for narcotic pain medications after surgery.
Modified Tumescent Liposuction Thailand
Modified tumescent liposuction refers to a combination of tumescent local anesthesia plus some form of systemic anesthesia (general anesthesia or heavy IV sedation). Because general anesthesia or heavy IV sedation can be dangerous, they must be administered by an anesthesiologist.
The Different Liposuction Techniques
There are many ways to do liposuction, for example liposuction can be accomplished painlessly either totally by local anesthesia or with general anesthesia. In the realm of liposuction, maximum speed and maximum volume of aspirate are not criteria for excellence. Ultimately, excellence is measured in terms of patient happiness which is a function of safety, patient comfort, finesse, and quality of results. The important distinction between liposuction surgeons who are board certified is the liposuction technique that they use. The surgeon's specialty is not as important as the surgeon's technique, experience and attitude toward safety.
Liposuction Complications
Liposuction complications are often the direct result of lack of caution, poor judgment, over confidence, ignorance about pharmacology, or adherence to faulty dogma. This web site discusses these traits, and explains how to reduce the risk of liposuction surgical complications.
The "Art of Liposuction"
Liposuction is a medium of artistic expression that displays itself in (1) a practical application of scientific knowledge, (2) the production of what is beautiful, (3) a perfection of workmanship, (4) a perpetual quest for improvement in technique, and (5) a skill attained through clinical experience, and above all (6) making people feel happy about what they see in the mirror.
Artistry and Safety are Related
This web site asserts that artistry and safety depend on each other. The word "art" implies skill and mastery of a technique. In order to master an artistic liposuction technique, the surgeon must have the skill and intelligence to avoid exposing patients to unnecessary dangers. The true artist provides better results, and uses the safest technique and never forgets the duty to "first, do no harm." For example, even if a patient wants to have a large volume of liposuction accomplished in one session, the artist convinces the patient that serial liposuction procedures are safer and ultimately yield better results. It is not artistry to take unnecessary risks or push liposuction to the limits of safety.
Risks of Liposuction
Risks of Liposuction must be well understood by all prospective liposuction patients. This web site emphasizes the need to constantly be aware of safety issues. In order to minimize the risk of liposuction, the patient must be aware of the following facts:
- Too much liposuction is an excessive volume of aspirated fat, or an excessive number of areas treated. Excessive surgical trauma (excessive liposuction) is dangerous and is an important cause for serious liposuction complications.
- Unrelated surgical procedures on the same day as liposuction are unnecessary. Prolonged exposure to anesthesia is dangerous and is an important cause for serious liposuction complications.
- Disfiguring skin irregularities and depressions are frequently the result of the surgeon's inattention to detail. For example, if a liposuction surgeon attempts to do too much on a single day, and becomes fatigued, the result may be an inattention to detail, and undesirable cosmetic results. A liposuction cannula is a stainless steel tube inserted through an incision in the skin that is employed to suction the fat. The size of the liposuction cannula can influence the smoothness of the skin after liposuction. The use of large cannulas tend to create irregularities more commonly than microcannulas (outside diameter less than 3 millimeters). Surgeons who do total-body liposuction tend to use larger cannulas.
Tumescent Technique is Safest
The tumescent technique for liposuction is unquestionably the safest form of liposuction. When tumescent liposuction is done correctly (not excessively), it is a very safe procedure. For example, there have been no reported deaths associated with tumescent liposuction totally by local anesthesia. Even when general anesthesia is combined with the tumescent technique, liposuction is quite safe provided the volume of fat removed and the number of areas treated during a single surgery is not excessive. The dilute epinephrine contained in the tumescent anesthetic solution profoundly shrinks capillaries and thus virtually eliminates surgical blood loss.
Smoother Cosmetic Results
The tumescent technique permits the use of microcannulas which in turn yields smoother cosmetic results. Traditional liposuction cannulas (stainless steel tubes) have a relatively large diameter and remove fat rather quickly. However, with the use of large cannulas (diameter greater than 3 millimeters) there is an increased risk of irregularities and depressions in the skin. Microcannulas with a diameter less than 3 millimeters, allow fat to be removed in a smoother and more uniform fashion. Some surgeons prefer larger cannulas because it allows liposuction to be done more quickly.
Rapid Healing
After tumescent liposuction, there is a certain amount of blood-tinged local anesthetic solution that remains under the skin. This excess fluid is either slowly absorbed over several weeks into the blood stream, or it can be rapidly removed by drainage through skin incisions and absorbed by special absorptive pads (HK Pads).
Rapid Drainage
Rapid drainage of blood-tinged anesthetic solution out of incision sites, accelerates the rate of healing, and reduces post-operative pain swelling, and bruising. Post-liposuction drainage of blood-tinged anesthetic solution can be maximized by 1) leaving incision sites open and not closed with sutures, 2) placing several adits (1.5 mm tiny round holes) in the skin to encourage drainage, 3) placing HK Pads on the skin to absorb the drainage, and 4) wearing spandex compression garments to encourage drainage.
