LIPOSUCTION SURGERY FOR LOVE HANDLES

Cosmetic Clinic Dubai | 3 October 2019

But these so-called love handles may develop due to genetic reasons as well. Unfortunately, in such cases, there are very few natural remedies to remove this fat.

However, the good news is that the flanks have many qualities that allow them to respond very effectively to minimally invasive liposuction cosmetic surgery. This area is well-defined, and this means that even a slight reduction in fat creates dramatic improvements.

Moreover, the skin of the flanks area is typically quite elastic. This enables it to mold to the new, enhanced contours following liposuction.

Reasons for the Development of Love Handles

Fat can accumulate in the flanks area due to various reasons such as hormonal changes, pregnancy, aging, or genetic predisposition. It is not possible to control many of these factors that cause the development of love handles, but liposuction provides an effective solution to remove love handles and enhance body contours.

Liposuction plastic surgery also provides the benefit of permanently eliminating fat pockets in the treatment area. However, in case the patient gains a large amount of weight, the fat cells that remain in this area, as well as other body areas, will become larger.

Benefits of Flank Liposuction

More defined contours and a more balanced physique

Sleeker figure

The patient may drop a dress size or two after flank liposuction as the flanks influence clothing size.

Minimally invasive procedure involving much lesser recovery time in comparison to more invasive types of liposuction

Safe and predictable procedure undertaken using only local anaesthetic

Liposuction Procedure

The surgeon will undertake flank liposuction using a device known as a cannula. The cannula refers to a thin steel tube that the surgeon will insert gently into the fat layer of the flanks.

They will then move the cannula back and forth inside the fat layer while remaining parallel to the skin. This will break down the fat cells, and these cells will be taken out of the body through the cannula.

In this procedure, the surgeon will use the minimally invasive tumescent liposuction technique, which involves the use of only local anaesthetic. Liposuction of the flanks creates different outcomes in men and women. In women patients, it enhances the feminine body shape.

It creates a cosmetically appealing S-shaped curve to the lower back area that actually accentuates the butt in the process. In males, flank liposuction creates more of a V-shape when viewed from behind. In addition, flank reduction also produces a generally fit and slimmer appearance in males.

The surgeon will consider various factors such as the patient’s body proportions and skin elasticity throughout the procedure. This allows for outcomes that are not only cosmetically attractive but also entirely unique to the patient.

SKIN TIGHTENING UNDER YOUR ARMS WITH RENUVION J-PLASMA

Cosmetic Clinic Dubai | 1 October 2019

J-Plasma is effective on almost any part of the body with loose, saggy skin. It offers especially dramatic outcomes in the case of tightening the lax skin of the upper arms. Individuals with lax, hanging skin in the upper arms may sometimes find that liposuction alone is not adequate.

A traditional arm lift plastic surgery also may not be their first choice for one reason or another. In such cases, J-Plasma can offer desirable improvements to the upper arm skin in a less invasive way.

Tightening Upper Arms without Traditional Brachioplasty

Notably, tightening lax skin in upper arms has always been challenging without traditional surgical excision (brachioplasty). But now in many cases, J-Plasma in conjunction with liposuction provides a scar-less, minimal downtime option.

People who find the loose or sagging skin in the upper arms undesirable and who do not want to undergo traditional arm lift plastic surgery may achieve highly satisfying results with J-Plasma arm lift in a minimally invasive way.

What is Plasma Energy?

Cold plasma is produced when helium gas is energized by radiofrequency energy and delivered via the J-Plasma device. Helium gas is quite stable. Therefore, it can be ionized at very low energy to enable a targeted, predictable, and flexible delivery. Cold plasma is cooler in comparison to laser energy.

This makes the J-Plasma arm lift procedure safer and with a lesser chance of damage to the tissue. Patients also experience a faster recovery.

The degree of revitalization and improvement from cold plasma energy is unmatched in comparison to other available technologies. Treatments such as laser, ultrasound or radiofrequency are incapable of tightening and firming skin safely to this level.

Preparation for Surgery

The surgeon will explain various aspects of the procedure to the patient in advance. They will address any concerns that the patient may have and understand their aesthetic goals from the procedure. Before the procedure, the surgeon will instruct the patient to refrain from using products with ginseng, vitamin E, aspirin, and garlic for 2 weeks as these may heighten the risk of bruising. If the patient is a smoker, the surgeon will require them to quit smoking, at least for 2 weeks.

How is J-Plasma Arm Lift Performed?

The J-Plasma procedure is undertaken in-office using local anesthesia. The surgeon will commence the J Plasma arm lift procedure by placing small, discreet incision strategically on the upper arm in the areas where the skin is loose or hanging. Then the surgeon will use the J-Plasma device sub-dermally (underneath the skin) to deliver cold plasma. This will immediately tighten, shrink, and rejuvenate skin from within. The outcomes are instant and continue improving as the body recovers.

The surgeon and their team will monitor the patient’s condition following the procedure. The upper arm area usually feels slightly tight or sore after the J-Plasma treatment. The surgeon may prescribe mild pain medications for minor discomfort. The patient should immediately contact the surgeon if the pain is persistent or unbearable.
