The Four Surgical Methods for Cellulite Reduction
When it comes to surgery for cellulite, there are a number of options available. As with any plastic surgery operations, it is essential that you explore the pros and cons of each of these options so that you can make the best choice. This article will explore each treatment and give you details on what to expect.
Probably the most surprising thing about surgery for cellulite is that liposuction is not a recommended treatment. This is because the surgery can leave the fat under the skin lumpy and increase the dimpling. There are other treatments however, that can reduce the dimpling and lumping.
The first option is not a very well known operation called cellulite lysing. Lysing entails the surgeon cutting the hard bands that attaches the fat to the skin. These bands pull the skin downwards, causing the cellulite dimples, and cutting them ensures that most of the dimples are eliminated.
An alternative option is to undergo a fat transplant operation. Liposuction is used to remove fat from another part of the body and then this is re-injected into the cellulite affected areas to fill in the lumps and bumps. This operation gives a very smooth and natural look to the thighs and buttocks.
It is possible to combine both cellulite lysing and fat transplants for a very effective result. This treatment’s marketing name is RejuvSkin. While it is effective, it is unfortunately only available in limited areas of the country.
Depending on how serious your condition is, your plastic surgeon may recommend a lower body lift. This is something that you need to think about very carefully because it is a major piece of surgery. The skin is removed right around the abdomen and then it is pulled upwards, tightening the skin around the thighs and butt.
These are your four surgical options when it comes to cellulite removal. Be sure to do as much research as you can before you commit a particular operation. Also, get two or three opinions from qualified surgeons to make sure you are comfortable with your final decision.
