He lipedema<\/strong> It is divided into three different grades depending on the characteristics and severity of the disease: Grades I, II and III, the latter being the most advanced. Check here the prevalence of Lipedema and who it mainly affects.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the lipedema<\/strong> reaches more advanced stages, the only effective treatments will be surgical. Patients with lipedema should undergo an operation to reduce excess fat <\/strong>and put an end to this disease. Currently, there are three types of liposuction<\/strong> that extract fat from the legs and arms very effectively. Also know the non-surgical treatments<\/strong><\/a> to treat lipedema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water Assisted Liposuction (WAL)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The water Assisted Liposuction,<\/strong> also known as WAL technique<\/strong> (Water-Jet Assisted Liposuction) or Agualipo,<\/strong> is the star treatment to cure lipedema since it is giving very good results.<\/strong> It is a novel method that is quite different from conventional liposuction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through millimeter incisions, a cannula is introduced that instills pulverized saline solution that releases the adipocytes. This technique is intended to removal of as much fat as possible<\/strong> in each intervention. Depending on each patient, between two and three sessions will be necessary to complete the treatment successfully. Thus, patient safety is guaranteed<\/strong> since in this type of surgery, no more than ten percent of the person's weight should be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very important that the liposuction WAL<\/strong> be done by a team of surgeons specialized in lipedema,<\/strong> since it is a delicate technique that involves blood vessels, connective tissue and lymphatic vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

tumescent liposuction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The tumescent liposuction<\/strong> It is another of the most used surgical techniques to treat lipedema. This procedure consists of injecting diluted lidocaine and epinephrine into the affected areas in order to inflame the area so that the surgeon can extract excess fat through a cannula.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the reasons why this technique is in such high demand is because it is performed using Local anesthesia,<\/strong> thus avoiding the side effects that can occur with general anesthesia. Tumescent liposuction is used in less advanced cases of lipedema, since in more severe cases WAL liposuction is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of local anesthesia decreases post-surgery pain, bleeding, swelling, and even bruising <\/strong>that usually come out after going through the operating room. Dispensing with general anesthesia translates into a safest procedure<\/strong> which is carried out without complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The power assisted liposuction<\/strong> (Power Assisted Liposuction) also known as vibration. In this intervention, like the other two mentioned above, a cannula is used that generates vibrations that cause the destruction of fat cells.<\/strong> Thanks to this technique, a greater amount of fat can be extracted in less time, which generates better results and a faster recovery process. It is a less aggressive method for patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike traditional liposuction, pal liposuction<\/strong> It allows to extract the fat in a uniform way and in greater quantity, getting to remove the fat stuck to the muscle in the most efficient way. The results after this surgery are long-lasting and the postoperative period is less painful, in addition to the fact that the skin suffers less inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
