3 Pack Lipo Foam Pads - Post Surgery Ab Board Liposuction Surgery Flattening Abdominal Compression Lipo Foam Sheets 8" x 11"

Product Information

Reports have indicated that an average of 5-15 ml blood is lost per litre of lipoaspirate when super-wet or tumescent technique is used. Mangubat and Harbke indicates that patient weight, surgery time and supernatant volume are significant factors for predicting blood loss following liposuction. Similarly, aggressive liposuction of the abdomen along with full abdominoplasty, large seromas or haematomas increase the risk of skin necrosis. This uniform compression narrows the gaps between interstitial collagen bundles in the dermis and prevents red blood cells from moving toward the skin surface where it appears as a bruise.

This feature, combined with the pads' easy application and shaping to 3-dimensional contours, makes them the ideal choice for post-operative care after liposuction or tummy tuck procedures. Although superficial liposuction permits excellent skin retraction,[ 31, 34] Illouz recommended leaving at least a 5 mm layer of fat under the skin and on the fascia to prevent surface irregularities. Any pre-operative asymmetry should be pointed out to the patient and recorded adequately with measurements and photographs. Instead, patient's clinical status is more important and if vital signs are stable conservative measures may be taken. Whether this is attributable to the heat generated by the ultrasonic probe or greater damage to lymphatics is a matter of debate.Liposuction is usually carried out under general anaesthesia, although an epidural anaesthetic may be used for liposuction on lower parts of the body. Changes of acute pulmonary oedema have been reported in the literature, especially in cases of mega-liposuction. Patients must be informed that continued adherence to a sensible diet and a regular exercise regime will further improve the results of liposuction.

Any asymmetry between the two sides, any already present contour irregularities and depressions must be pointed out to the patient, mentioned on paper and marked carefully. All independent clinics and hospitals that provide cosmetic surgery in England must be registered with the CQC. The risk factors for developing necrotising fasciitis after liposuction include-gastro-intestinal malignancy, IV drug abuse, age more than 50 years, diabetes mellitus, immunosuppressed state, alcohol abuse, peripheral vascular disease and malnutrition. Made in the USA: All foam is fabricated in accordance with applicable medical-grade foam production standards, including ISO 13485:2003 and ISO 9001:2008, and are proudly Made in the USA! Asymmetry detected intraoperatively may be tackled by liposhifting, additional liposuction or re-injecting fat.First, they absorb the large volume of tumescent drainage to improve patient comfort and hygiene, and secondly the pads distribute the elastic garment’s compressive force more uniformly. The advantages of this multi-staged approach can also be explained to patients prior to the 1 st procedure so that they fully understand their choices and decide accordingly. Good patient selection is vital to avoid performing liposuction on a patient with unrealistic expectations. Although the criss-cross fanned out technique of liposuction is recommended for smooth and even contours, it can also be a double-edged sword. Accordingly patients who demand guarantees before surgery, who expect liposuction to solve other professional, social and emotional problems in their lives, who are obsessed with their bodies and those who are unwilling to improve their unhealthy life-styles should be considered as potentially problem patients and discouraged from liposuction.

Interestingly, it was an Otolaryngologist-Julius Newman who first used the term ‘liposuction’ in 1983. The subcutaneous fat spaces of the face are subdivided into (1) submental, (2) submandibular, (3) pre-parotid, (4) lower nasolabial, (5) upper nasolabial, and (6) malar fat pads. Throughout the literature many have attempted to correct this deformity through various techniques including direct suspension of fat pads, muscular rotation and splitting, and surgical excision. Treatment of usually exposed areas consists of sun protection and twice daily application of hydroquinone cream over the affected area. Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes excess fat and contours the body.

A thorough pre-operative evaluation consisting of complete blood count with platelets, liver function tests and coagulation profile goes a long way in preventing haematoma formation. Recovering from liposuction or a tummy tuck procedure can be a challenging experience, but with the right post-operative care, you can significantly improve your comfort and healing process. Patients with the possibility of residual skin laxity must also be informed that they would need to wear the compression garment for a longer period, beyond the usual 6 weeks up to 8-12 weeks to encourage/allow the maximum possible skin retraction to take place.
