Can liposuction be used for emergency? |
Is there any case where doctors suggests liposuction to get to certain arteries in the body? Or do they do something like that only in one certain spot. Is there a procedure name for something like that? For instance,if a person has excess fluids in the body which makes them swell up I know they can suck out the fluids but what about lipo for life threatening situations? HAs this occur before because I have no knowledge besides it used for people who want to look better or lose weight the lazy way. No. Incidental removal of fat can occur during a surgery, but generally, if a surgeon wants to get somewhere, he cuts his way through. Plus, most fat is right underneath of the skin, so it doesn't obscure any structures. Once you cut through the initial skin and fat, you have a pretty clear view of the anatomy. The only exception to this is a lot of obese people tend to have intra-abdominal fat deposition, but as far as I know, this doesn't affect surgery. As for the fluids...it depends on where the fluids are. A generalized edema, or swelling, can't be sucked out. The fluid in that case is located between the cells, and the only way of getting that out is to give the patient a drug that makes them pee a whole lot to decrease the total amount of water in their body. However, there are cases where fluid will accumulate in certain areas, and that can be drained out. It all depends on location (which in turn depends on the pathophysiologic process). sure why the heck not they may use it in a situation where they lipo the fat around and away from the heart doing a surgery or something like that You can't use liposcution to remove fat from arteries. You certainly can't treat obesity with liposcution either. HTH. |
