Houston AlwaysYouthful.Com Ensures Safe Liposuction Techniques

HOUSTON, TX, January 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) There are two major considerations when thinking about a liposuction procedure; the type of technique that is the safest and most appropriate to personal circumstances, and the skills and experience of the AlwaysYouthful.com plastic surgeons. The pursuit of the perfect body can sometimes override caution when it comes to jumping into a surgical procedure. As with any surgery, there are risks involved and at the very least a discussion of these risks should be thoroughly investigated. When contracting the services at AlwaysYouthful.com, a consultation with their highly acknowledged and skilled surgeons is the beginning point.

The original technique was developed in 1974 by an Italian gynecologist. At its most basic, liposuction removed body fat by suctioning tunnels through fatty layers using a small steel tube called a cannula. Early procedures received some negative press due to post-operative complications that included excessive bleeding, dimpling of the skin and reactions to general anesthesia.

However, as demand increased, so too did the amount of liposuction performed in a single procedure, as well as being performed in tandem with numerous other cosmetic procedures. Severe complications and at times, death was the result of this medical irresponsibility. For this reason, the choice of plastic surgeon is critical to the safety of the patient undergoing a liposuction procedure.

AlwaysYouthfun.com in Houston features its founder, Dr. Mark A. Schusterman, MD, FACS, a world renowned Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Cosmetic Surgeon based at the Museum District Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Center in Houston, TX. Dr. Schusterman earned his exemplary reputation through his research and development of microsurgical reconstruction techniques in the aid of head, neck and breast cancer patients. The associated challenges endowed him with considerable knowledge and understanding of the human body, as well as finely honed plastic surgery and non-surgical cosmetic skills, including breast augmentation and post-surgical breast reconstruction.

Dr. Schusterman is always seeking techniques that are minimally invasive in order to reduce visible scarring and post-operative healing. As a result, the MD Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Center is the only center in the Houston area to offer the SmartLipo TriPlex laser procedure and has the most experience with the TriPlex system. SmartLipo is a minimally invasive procedure that provides the most effective body sculpting of any procedure to date.

SmartLipo employs state-of-the-art TriPlex laser technology. Generally, in only one procedure, this technology removes even the most tenacious body fat. Performed under local anesthesia, laser liposuction does not produce scarring or require stitches. The TriPlex is the newest and most advanced version of SmartLipo and is the first laser lipolysis equipment developed to meet all body sculpting needs.

The process literally melts the fat which is then metabolized by the liver and flushed out by the natural process of the body. Benefits beyond the faster treatment and minimal recovery times include an effective skin tightening after fat removal that virtually eliminates post-operative sagging and dimpling concerns. Fat cells are permanently eliminated allowing for an effective and highly successful body contouring experience. Depending on the targeted area, recovery is immediate or within a few days.

Other liposuction techniques include suction-assisted lipoplasty and ultrasonic-assisted liposuction. Prior to suctioning the fat, both techniques require injecting solutions into the targeted areas in order to decrease the risk of any complications. In the former, the fluid eases the fat removal process and in the latter, the fluid enhances the effect of the ultrasonic waves on the fatty tissue. Depending on the circumstances, a combination of both methods may be used. During the consultation, the evaluation of the surgeon will determine the best method, as well as the appropriate form of anesthesia. Each area takes about 45 minutes and recovery can be a few days or a few weeks depending upon the areas that were treated, the amount of fat removed and the general health of the patient.

Patient safety and successful outcomes are the key factors in all of the cosmetic surgical and non-surgical services offered at AlwaysYouthful.com. Houston liposuction patients can be confident that the techniques employed will be the most appropriate to their personal circumstances and performed by leading experts in the field.
