Get Lasting Cellulite Removal with RejuveSkin Plastic Surgery

Plastic Surgery Advice — Wed, 12 May 2010 14:10:28 +0000

Cellulite is a term that refers to the lumpy skin that is visible on many womens thighs and buttocks. It can also occur on the arms, stomach and even the neck. The condition is more common in females than men due to the genetic structure of womens fat, connective tissue and skin. The lumpy skin of cellulite is caused by the fat bulging from the honeycomb-like structure of the connective tissue just beneath the skin.

Plastic surgery is often used to treat cellulite. The most common surgical methods are cellulite lysing (where the connective tissue under the skin is cut) and fat injections (where fat is implanted under the skin). Traditionally, these surgical methods were used individually. However, a new surgical treatment called RejuveSkin utilizes and refines both these methods to achieve a superior result.

RejuveSkin uses a patented instrument known as a DermaSecter. This instrument is inserted under the skin in much the same manner as a liposuction secter. The blade on the end of the DermaSecter is used to cut the fibrous septae, which is the connective tissue that causes cellulite. A specially designed process is then used to inject fat tissue that was previously taken from the patient into the cellulite dents to smooth them out. The RejuveSkin procedure lasts up to 90 minutes.

The results from RejuveSkin are usually permanent. Most patients report cellulite reduction of 60 to 70 percent and 90 percent of patiens are happy with their outcome. Of course, with any surgical procedure, results will vary due to a patient’s individual circumstances, age and skin type.

It is important to make a distinction between RejuveSkin and liposuction. RejuveSkin is far less invasive than liposuction as it concentrates on the layer between the fat and skin. In contrast, liposuction targets the deep fat layer.

RejuveSkin cellulite removal surgery will cost about $4,000. It is currently available only in certified clinics around America.

Cellulite is a problem that many people suffer from all around the world. Although there are treatments such as creams, massages, and other therapies, surgery is one of the most commonly used for cellulite elimination.

Many doctors agree that surgery should be a last resort choice for cellulite elimination. Any type of surgery has many risks that are involved with it, especially plastic surgery. Not only does cellulite surgery have many health risks, it is also expensive, sometimes costing patients thousands of dollars.

But, the reason why people risk their lives, health, and money for cellulite plastic surgery is because it is really effective for reducing the visibility of cellulite and most problems associated with cellulite, fat deposits, and minor weight gain. Unlike other types of cellulite treatments, surgery can be used to immediately and directly remove cellulite from the body.

In surgeries, such as body lifts and tummy tucks, surgeons remove portions of the skin to form a new body shape for the patient. The skin that the surgeons remove most likely contains cellulite, making plastic surgery an automatic cellulite eliminator.

Many of these surgeries can be combined with liposuction, a procedure in which a surgeon literally sucks the fat right out of the fat-containing skin layer. Although it is a myth, many people believe that liposuction alone can eliminate cellulite. But, liposuction cannot remove cellulite because it is in a different skin layer. But, when used together, these surgeries can be used to effectively reduce the sight of cellulite.

Not everyone is a good candidate for cellulite surgery. So, anyone that is considering using plastic surgery to eliminate their cellulite should contact their physician to make sure it is safe to do so.

Even though there are many risks involved with cellulite surgery, it can be extremely effective when trying to eliminate the visibility of cellulite completely.

Many women with fat deposits on their thighs that resist all efforts to shrink are choosing have thigh liposuction performed. Before making that decision for yourself you should find out if you will be good candidate for this procedure. You may also wish to learn about the details of the procedure which will help you make a good decision about whether or not thigh liposuction is for you.

A thigh liposuction is done to get rid of fat deposits, which are called cellulite, from the thigh. Cellulite is the kind of fat that deposits in the connective tissues of the skin making the skin look as if it is pocked or dimpled. Cellulite can look like wrinkles, dimples and pockmarks on your thighs and is generally considered quite unattractive. Most women and men find that cellulite is a type of fat that is not easily removed using diet and exercise.

Many women will find that they are more susceptible to cellulite than men because of their skin structure. And you don’t necessarily need to be considered ‘fat’ to develop cellulite. Even thin women have been known to develop visible cellulite on their thighs and other body parts.

Thigh cellulite can be extremely frustrating and depressing. The cellulite will often rub more against clothing and thighs even making them sore for some people. Perhaps most troubling to some is that the cellulite ruins the aesthetic appearance of your thighs. Some women will even go as far as to stop wearing shorts and swimsuits once cellulite appears. Especially for these women the best solution is to undergo thigh liposuction surgery.

You’ll find that thigh liposuction is similar to any other liposuction. The liposuction doctor makes small cuts in the skin and a thin tube, called a cannula, is inserted into each cuts. The cannula is then manipulated under the skin to vacuum the fat deposits from the thigh, making it appear smoother. It is possible that some imperfections could develop when undergoing thigh liposuction, this will often depend on the experience and skill of the liposuction doctor who performs the procedure. Smaller sized cannulas can be used In an effort to keep irregularities to a minimum, however even these smaller tubes can cause imperfections if there is excessive tissue damage.

Not all people are good candidates for thigh liposuction. Those who have inelastic skin due to age or other reasons may not get all the benefits of a thigh liposuction like those with more elastic skin will. When the skin becomes inelastic you can make the cellulite worse by performing liposuction causing skin wrinkling and sagging. If you have sagging or loose skin or you’re an older patient you should consider an alternative to thigh liposuction to avoid making your condition worse.

One positive aspect of thigh liposuction is that the recovery and healing process are very quick. You may experience bruising, swelling and pain for a few days and up to two weeks, but this is easily managed with Advil or similar pain medicines. You should also use a compression garment to minimize the swelling which will make your recovery faster. You should begin to see improvements once the swelling subsides, however it might take as long as six months to see the complete effect of the liposuction procedure.
