Liposuction is a surgical procedure during which excess fat just under your skin is softened, infused with a saline solution and vacuum suctioned out of your body. It is usually recommended to a person who has lost a lot of weight and is mostly toned, but still has pockets of fat under their skin (subcutaneous fat) that are hard to burn off. How long the procedure takes depends on how many areas of your body you’re having liposuctioned.

If you’re only having one or two small or one larger area of your body worked on, the procedure will only take an hour or two. If you’re having multiple areas of your body liposuctioned, the procedure will take longer. Liposuction is usually performed under general anesthesia.

You will feel no pain during the procedure. After you wake up, you will have a lot of swelling and will be sore from the procedure. From WebMD.Com -quote Liposuction is an option to remove small bulges that won't budge and to improve your body's shape.

The areas most commonly treated include the hips, abdomen, thighs and buttocks, and face. Liposuction does not remove cellulite, only fat. -endquote.

Some of the potential complications that may be discussed with you include hematoma (an accumulation of blood under the skin that may require removal), infection, changes in sensation, scarring, allergic reactions, damage to underlying structures, need for revisions, unsatisfactory results possibly necessitating additional procedures and medical risks. Other risks more specific to liposuction may include indentations and irregularities. You can help minimize certain risks by following the advice and instructions of your plastic surgeon, both before and after your liposuction surgery.

The goal of your plastic surgeon and the entire staff is to make your surgical experience as easy and comfortable for you as possible. If you are a smoker, it is recommended to stop smoking well in advance of surgery since smoking can impair the healing process. Certain medications that increase the risk of bleeding such as Aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, and some vitamins/homeopathic regimens should be discontinued before undergoing liposuction surgery.

Your surgeon will provide you with additional preoperative instructions. Liposuction surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis. If this is the case, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and to stay with you for the next 24 hours.

If you are undergoing large volume of liposuction, it may be suggested that you be hospitalized even for one night. Your liposuction surgery may be performed in an accredited hospital, free-standing ambulatory facility or office-based surgical suite. Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure.

Frequently, local anesthesia and intravenous sedation are used for patients undergoing liposuction surgery, although general anesthesia may be desirable in some instances. For your safety during the operation, various monitors are used to check your heart, blood pressure, pulse and the amount of oxygen circulating in your blood. When surgery is completed, you will be taken into a recovery area where you will continue to be closely monitored.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
