History of Smart Liposuction

By Art Gib

Liposuction has changed greatly over the years. At one time, liposuction was a rather barbaric procedure. When the procedure was initially performed, it was done with scalpels. The scalpels would turn inside of the body and actually scrape the fat away. People would lose fat, but they would also lose other things, like blood. The procedure did not make it very far.

But it wasn't until 1982 that the modern liposuction as we know today burst on to the scene. The French physician, Dr. Yves-Gerard Illouz, presented the "Illouz Method." Dr. Illouz's method injected a sterile fluid known as lidocane into fatty tissue, thus making it more malleable and then using a surgical cannula and a high volume suction device to remove the fat.

That is when the cannula was introduced. It was realized that a cannula could provide a safer surgery. Surgeons began using the cannula technique, but there were still problems. Bleeding was an issue, as was the anesthesia. It took some time for science to progress to the point of finding better safety measures.

By 1985 the traditional liposuction procedure had gained acceptance within the medical community as a medically sanctioned intervention for the reduction of body fat and contouring of the areas where the fat was removed. As the process of liposuction was used more and more the problems related to its use were addressed and reduced.

It was during the 1990's that the use of ultra sound was introduced as another way of performing the procedure. The use of high powered sound waves to break down the fatty tissue was a significant step toward making liposuction both safer and less intrusive.

The result of 30 years of advancement in the field of liposuction has meant that more fatty material can now be removed while reducing blood loss, discomfort, and risk for the average patient. In fact, one of the more significant outcomes for this procedure is what has become known as autologous fat transfer, or the reintroduction of removed body fat into other areas of the body where body contouring is wanted.

Great strides have been made around this procedure. In fact, with the introduction of Smart Lipo what can be best described as a revolution in how traditional liposuction is done today. Smart Lipo shares some similarities with the more traditional liposuction procedures, but the cannula used is much narrower, allowing for smaller incisions and less scaring. This cannula contains laser inside it which emits energy into the targeted fat cells thus breaking them down. Without their cell walls to separate them, the fat takes on a liquid consistency, being easily suctioned from the body.

This process allows for less bruising and swelling, which means it does not take as much time for patients to recover. It is just one of the options available for those who are looking into liposuction. - 17268
