Surgical and non-surgical fat removal

When we talk about a fat removal surgical technique, liposuction is one and requires time, money and energy for a complete procedure. Not many people choose it given its characteristics. Although for many years, this surgical procedure was known to be a safe, effective, and permanent method of completely removing fat from the body, now non-surgical methods are more popular.

Liposuction:

It is a surgical fat removal technique in which excess fat is carefully removed from the body through a surgical procedure through a hollow tube known as a cannula. As the surgeon moves the cannula, suction is applied and thus all body fat accumulates and in turn is completely removed from the body.

Liposuction is still considered the best for removing fat from the legs, back, abdomen, back, arms, face, and neck. The results are dramatic and mind-boggling compared to other non-invasive fat reduction methods. The only drawback is that it has a long recovery period, that is, up to six weeks, and it costs much more than non-surgical methods.

Non-surgical methods

As there are inventions happening everywhere, new methods and techniques are being developed for your body every day as well. There are many methods to remove abdominal fat without surgery and these methods are more effective and time consuming than traditional surgical methods. These techniques do not require anesthesia and are very easy to do.

These non-surgical methods use different modalities to target and remove excess body fat via topical. There are many non-surgical methods for fat removal, such as Vanquish fat removal, cold modeling, etc.

Pros and cons of surgical and non-surgical fat removal

Both techniques are effective and work differently in their own field. Some points of difference between them are:

Liposuction is a very aggressive method of fat removal and it creates trauma to the patient and the patient needs time to get out of it. Patients experience numbness, discomfort, pain, bruising, etc. for almost 10 days after surgery. The non-invasive technique like Vanquish fat removal is free from these pains and the patient remains fit and well immediately after the procedure.

The results of liposuction are not immediately visible. In fact, the real results are visible only after 6 months. The surgical technique takes a long time to show its results and, on the contrary, the non-surgical techniques show the results in a very short time. The results are visible weeks after the procedure. Both liposuction and the non-invasive fat removal technique are not a substitute for weight loss; liposuction shows dramatic results and helps to get the body shape originally.

The healing process from surgery is long and will require the patient to limit their daily activities for a period of time. Even he will have to count the food he swallows and this is not the case with non-surgical methods. Non-surgical methods do not require any healing period and the patient can return to a normal routine immediately. Although a little swelling and pain is expected, but that does not have to worry much. The patient can stay normal and work on his daily tasks with great ease.
