The more untraveled the path, the greater the fear. Knowing in advance what awaits you around a certain street corner can help you feel more excited than anxious. The same goes for liposuction. If you experience the beginning and end of liposuction in advance, even if only virtually, these vague feelings of anxiety will disappear like melting snow.

First, the entire surgical process is disclosed. The pre-operative process is relatively simple. However, in order to perform liposuction more safely and effectively, it is important to check every little detail.

Step 1 Precisely diagnose obesity using cutting-edge equipment before surgery

If you get tired, you will win every battle. To undergo liposuction, you must first accurately know your current body condition. Nowadays, the size of each part can be determined through a single test.

There are many devices that diagnose which areas have accumulated a lot of fat, but in the past, to determine body type, doctors used a tape measure to measure the size of specific areas one by one. However, this method may cause errors depending on the person measuring it, and even if the same person measures the same area, the measured value is not compared to the accurately evaluated value due to various variables such as measurement location, thickness of clothing, and subtle movements. This is because there is a limit to the ordinary hand gestures in accurately measuring one-time body shape, and measurement in decimal units is almost impossible.

Recently, 3D body composition analysis and ultrasound are being used to precisely check fat accumulation and amount before performing liposuction. The 3D body shape analyzer, which analyzes body circumference, body fat, moisture, bone, and muscle ratio, can provide detailed information on changes in body shape with just one scan, allowing comparative analysis before and after surgery.

This is a device that allows you to more clearly and systematically compare the results of the surgery by expressing the changes before and after the liposuction surgery in quantitative numbers rather than simply listening to the doctor’s words or words. Because it is possible, it is tailored to each individual’s needs.

So-called customized surgery has become possible. In this way, the 3D body shape analyzer not only measures and analyzes the body shape before surgery, but also shows how the body shape has changed after surgery. You can check your changed body in the mirror at home, but if you check with a 3D body shape analyzer at regular intervals after surgery, it is very good to see at a glance the process of your flat body changing into an S-line.

Ultrasound is a device that can more precisely check the amount of fat in each area. Ultrasound can measure the amount of fat layer, muscle head, and muscle in a specific area, and is an appropriate device to check the state of fat and the degree of cellulite and optimize pre- and post-surgical results by targeting each area according to the current symptoms. It is easy to test, has a short test time, and has the advantage of being able to obtain the same results more accurately while not relying on the tester’s intuition.

Of course, some temporarily brilliant doctors may be able to evaluate the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer with just the ‘pinch test’ of pinching the skin with the thumb and forefinger.

Step 2: Fit compression garment from stock

Once the 3D body shape measurement and analysis is completed, the sizes of the chest, abdomen, arms, and thighs are measured. This is the process of fitting a compression garment to be worn after surgery. Compression garments are literally clothes that put pressure on the surgical area to reduce swelling and help keep the body in good shape. Usually, when measuring the size of a compression garment, measure slightly larger than the actual size to take into account swelling after surgery. Since it has elasticity suitable for each body type, it puts moderate pressure on the surgical area.

Step 3: Check blood test and precautions

After measuring the size, a blood test is performed. Blood tests are a basic necessity for any surgery. When performing surgery, there is bound to be bleeding, but if the blood condition is poor, that is, if the hemoglobin level is low, surgery may be difficult. However, until now, there have been very few cases in which liposuction was not performed due to failure to pass a blood test. This is because if the hemoglobin level is too low and anemia is severe, recovery after surgery will be somewhat slow. There were, of course, pregnant women, but there were almost no cases where liposuction itself was impossible.

After the blood test is completed, you will be given some precautions. The precautions are simple.

All that is required is fasting before surgery and removing anything close to the abdomen on the day of surgery. The reason for fasting before surgery is because food remaining in the stomach can reflux and enter the airways. In general, fasting for at least 8 hours is recommended after surgery.

Step 4: On the day of surgery, everything from preparation to recovery takes just one day!

Liposuction surgery is a relatively simple surgery that can be performed and discharged the same day. However, as a person undergoing surgery, no matter how simple the surgery, you are bound to feel anxious. I understand that feeling, but there is no need to be overly anxious. Most people who have experienced liposuction say, “I slept well at night and when I woke up, the surgery was complete.” This means that it is a surgery that can be performed comfortably.

There is no need to bring a guardian. Because the surgery is simple and the recovery is quick, you can quietly come to the hospital alone, have the surgery, and go home alone after a basic checkup with your doctor a day later. There are slight differences depending on which area and how much fat is removed, but the entire process is usually completed in half a day.

Step 5: Check blood pressure and relax before surgery

When you come to the hospital for surgery, the first thing to do is check your blood pressure. Many people know that high blood pressure can be dangerous, but if your blood pressure is not very high, you do not need to worry too much. Also, even if you are taking medication for high blood pressure, it is possible as long as it is well controlled. Blood pressure tends to increase with age and as obesity becomes more severe, and it is extremely rare that surgery is not possible due to blood pressure problems. In some cases, people with high blood pressure may experience temporary high blood pressure due to nervousness before surgery. At this time, rest for about 10 minutes and then check your blood pressure again.

After checking your blood pressure, you should relax your body and mind as much as possible. You can undergo the surgery comfortably by forgetting about the need for surgery soon and relaxing by watching TV and reading books.

Step 6: Design pretty lines

After you relax to some extent, the doctor in charge designs the line. Depending on the doctor in charge, there is only a difference in whether the line design is elaborate or rough, but there is no case in which line design is not done. Just as liposuction technology has evolved, the line design has also continued to evolve. The reason why line design is necessary is because not only the surgery during the procedure is important, but also the final shape that needs to be gathered is different. For example, an important point is that in areas where a lot of fat is concentrated, there is more fat and it is difficult to separate the spermatic tissue from areas that are pressed flat when the area is lying down. Therefore, it is important to design the prettiest line by removing a lot of fat and checking the specific flowers of the joint. So, you can make your lines pretty and prevent your skin from becoming bumpy.

Step 7: Clean and disinfect in the air shower room

The most important thing to watch out for in any surgery is infection. Liposuction is no exception. Liposuction itself is very safe, and the risk of infection is relatively low compared to other surgeries, but thorough precautions against infection cannot be overemphasized. The operating room must be kept clean for thorough disinfection. Before the surgical procedure begins, the patient enters wearing surgical clothing and is then showered with air from an air shower system installed in front of the door, applying pressure and antibacterial properties.

After passing through the air shower system, you finally reach the operating room where liposuction surgery is performed in earnest.

Step 8: Creating a surgical environment that prioritizes safety

The first priority in any surgery is patient safety. To ensure patient safety, various preparedness measures are in place to respond to emergency situations.

This must be in place and infection prevention measures must be thoroughly implemented. Whether it is a university hospital or a general hospital, the establishment of an infection control system is not legally required, but it must be kept in mind because it is an issue directly related to the patient’s life beyond the patient’s satisfaction with the surgical results.

Infection, in medical terms, refers to the response of a host organism to a pathogen or disease-causing agent. There are a variety of factors that cause this infection, including dust floating in the air or contact with people carrying pathogens, as well as malnutrition and stress.

Especially in the case of surgery, there is a possibility that exogenous infection caused by bacteria from outside may cause problems if thorough precautions are not taken during the surgical process.

In the case of liposuction, it is true that the risk of infection is significantly lower than other surgical procedures because very small incisions are made, but it is important to carry out thorough management to keep the patient safe from infection.

Recently, advanced sterile surgical equipment and facilities have been introduced to prevent infection as much as possible. Representative examples include a special air conditioning system that fundamentally blocks the source of infection by integrating dust, an air shower that can remove microbacteria from the outside when entering the operating room, an air circulation device, and surgical flooring made of various antibacterial materials.

When choosing a hospital before undergoing liposuction, patients must consider whether it has a systematic infection and safety management system in place. Be aware of infection prevention and ensure that a system to manage it is properly established.

Additionally, it is advisable to determine the presence or absence of safety equipment that can respond to emergency situations, such as a cardiac defibrillator system and emergency rescue equipment.

State-of-the-art equipment and facilities are important, but surgery is always done by people. For all surgeries, not just liposuction, the ‘doctor’ or ‘medical staff’ who performs the surgery must be thoroughly trained in safety.

Although it is not common, problems may arise where the surgical site or patient changes due to a mistake by the medical staff. To prevent such accidents, even in large hospitals or plastic surgery clinics where liposuction surgery is almost always performed, the surgical site, surgical method, and incision are carefully checked before starting the surgery. We are going through the process of checking with the medical staff ourselves to see if there is a match. Furthermore, a cutting-edge display system that controls the surgical process is installed to monitor it more systematically.

Liposuction is a surgery that requires a high level of concentration and stamina because it requires manually measuring the body shape and suctioning fat into consideration. After surgery, the physical strength and health of the doctor performing the surgery must be maintained to ensure the patient’s safety and positive surgical results. Therefore, physical strength management is not necessary but before the surgery.

365mc’s differentiated liposuction surgery system: Anesthesia Safety 3.0

The 365mc Anesthesia Safety 3.0 System is a cutting-edge safety system based on the anesthesia management regulations of medical institutions certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, as well as recommendations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Korean Society of Anesthesiologists, and the World Society of Anesthesiologists.

• Humanware: Anesthesiologists participate to ensure anesthesia safety.
• Hardware: We provide an optimal surgical environment through anesthesia patient monitoring equipment and anesthetic drug injection system.
• Software: Continuously check anesthesia progress through a real-time monitoring system.

This system was developed to enhance anesthesia safety during liposuction surgery and enables safe surgery while monitoring the patient’s condition in real time.

Step 9: Wear compression garments after sufficient rest.

After the surgery, although it varies from person to person, you may feel slightly stiff and dizzy. These symptoms that appear after surgery naturally disappear while you rest, and it is recommended to rest for at least 1 to 3 hours. After resting, you will recover your strength and prepare to return home.

After resting, put on the pre-fitted compression garment. At first, compression garments feel tight and are difficult to wear, but wearing them properly with the help of a nurse or guardian will greatly help your body recover.

Aftercare is a necessity, not an option

What is important for quick recovery after liposuction and obesity treatment is Aftercareno see. Liposuction is the only way to effectively remove fat that cannot be removed, but subsequent care is essential, not optional.

To prevent the fat remaining after liposuction from accumulating again, consistent management is required, which means a comprehensive approach including exercise and diet control. Obesity can occur again even after liposuction without routine care, so continuous attention and effort is required.

especially Causes of fat accumulationIf you simply remove fat without solving the problem, it is difficult to expect long-term effects. Therefore, regular lifestyle habits and proper care are important even after liposuction.

The need to address the fundamental cause of fat accumulation

Liposuction is an effective way to physically remove fat, but fat can accumulate again if the underlying cause of fat accumulation is not addressed. Therefore, continuous care is essential even after liposuction. AftercareIt is not an option, but a necessity, and you must improve your lifestyle habits to prevent fat from re-accumulating.

For example, just as continuous foot care is needed even after treatment in cases such as plantar fasciitis, recurrence must be prevented through proper care after liposuction. If proper after-care is not performed, muscle mass loss or fat accumulation may occur because fat is simply removed without addressing the underlying problem.

Continuous care after liposuction It is essential to prevent fat from accumulating again and to maintain health.no see.

The importance of correcting the cause of fat accumulation

• The main cause of excessive fat accumulation is incorrect calorie balanceno see. The imbalance between the calories you consume and the calories you expend accumulates over a long period of time, causing fat to accumulate in your body.
• Even after removal through liposuction root causeIf not addressed, the fat is likely to accumulate again. thus Improvement of lifestyle habitsIt is essential to have good diet habits.
• Aftercareis not an option, but an essential process. Aftercare, proper diet and exercise must be combined to prevent fat from re-accumulating and maximize the effectiveness of suction surgery.

It is important to find a post-care method that suits your body type and situation with the help of an expert, and a personalized plan is necessary to maintain the results of liposuction.

Step 10: Disinfect the wound the day after surgery and be aware of post-surgery precautions.

• Liposuction involves inserting a suction device into the small incisionBecause it is done through a procedure, the size of the wound after surgery is not large. It is usually about 3 to 5 mm, and the possibility of bacterial infection is low, but caution is required.
• After surgery Disinfection of the wound areaThis is important. For this purpose, it is recommended that you visit the hospital the day after surgery to have the wound disinfected.
• Dumestone solutionDisinfection procedures must be strictly followed, including the use of . Initially, the wound area must be kept clean and disinfection must be continued to ensure scar-free recovery.

Since these processes play an important role in recovery after liposuction, it is essential to understand and follow the postoperative precautions.

Step 11: Receive appropriate aftercare depending on the condition

• wound care: After disinfecting the wound the day after surgery, visit the hospital once every 3 to 5 days for follow-up management, depending on the condition of the surgical site.
• Aftercare exercises: Light exercise or massage is necessary at home, and proper aftercare can help recovery.
• Aftercare program provided at the hospital: Radiofrequency therapy, carboxytherapy, and endermology can be used, which help with recovery and relieve swelling and pain.
