Liposuction surgery Chicago, Illinois can work like magic.  Some women, and men, can exercise for hours on end, eat right, and still certain problem areas do not go away.  For women, the main problem areas are the butt and thighs.  No amount of time on the stairmaster seems to improve these areas.  Liposuction surgery Chicago, Illinois is a way to remove the seemingly impossible to fix areas of the body. 

The most striking thing about liposuction surgery Chicago, Illinois is that the fat cells will be removed permanently: they will not be regenerated by the body.  Liposuction surgery Chicago, Illinois can have permanent results.  The same cannot always be said for other types of plastic surgery.  At the same time, it is not a cure-all so it is important that you combine liposuction with a good diet, exercise, and a generally healthy lifestyle. 

Depending on the nature of the liposuction surgery Chicago, Illinois, the surgery can be performed with both local or general anesthetic.  For smaller operations, the patient can go home the same day as the procedure.  More extensive operations will require an overnight stay.  There are a few different types of procedures.  In your initial consultation, you will discuss which procedure is right for you—based both on price and the extensiveness of the operation.

The most common liposuction surgery Chicago, Illinois is called wet liposuction.  The surgeon injects a solution consisting of saline, anesthetic, and adrenaline that both numbs the area and breaks down the fat cells so they can be easily removed.  A tube called a cannula is then inserted into the area and the fat cells are then sucked out via vacuum.  Tumescent liposuction surgery Chicago, Illinois works under the same premise but with a larger amount of solution. 

Dry liposuction removes the fatty cells without a solution.  It is not commonly used because there is generally more discomfort after surgery.  Finally, ultrasound liposuction surgery Chicago, Illinois uses ultrasound waves to break down the fat cells before they are removed.  This is useful for very large procedures or areas of the body where fat cells are firmer, such as the back.  Discuss with your doctor which procedure is right for you—in terms of cost, effectiveness, and recovery time.
