It's ideal for surgeries like tummy tucks, liposuction of the abdomen, back, arms, chin, thighs, and other areas where uniform healing is crucial. New with tags: A brand-new, unused and unworn item in its original packaging (such as the original .

Bisaccia is a practicing dermatologist and Clinical Professor of Dermatology at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. Any pre-operative asymmetry should be pointed out to the patient and recorded adequately with measurements and photographs. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits and features of Epi-foam™ pads, available at Recova Post Surgery. We are always happy to answer your questions so that you understand all aspects of your body contouring with liposuction.

We have also observed a unique seroma-like presentation when the fluid gravitates to the scrotum or labia following abdominal, especially pubic fat liposuction [ Figure 2]. However, the presence of large volumes of lipo-infiltration in this third space does not allow this diffusion to occur.

As the face ages, supporting structures that secure this fat pad lose their integrity and overlying skin becomes more redundant, making this “pouch” more obvious.

Liposuction is usually carried out under general anaesthesia, although an epidural anaesthetic may be used for liposuction on lower parts of the body. Donofrio recommends liposuction of the superficial fat layer only in this region to avoid this complication, which is very difficult to correct. We have had a small number of patients with local complications and an even smaller number with systemic complications. The risk factors for developing necrotising fasciitis after liposuction include-gastro-intestinal malignancy, IV drug abuse, age more than 50 years, diabetes mellitus, immunosuppressed state, alcohol abuse, peripheral vascular disease and malnutrition. The areas commonly involved were-arms (just proximal to the elbow and immediately adjacent to the lipo-access incision), flanks [ Figure 5], peri-umbilical region [ Figure 6], trochanteric region and supra-patellar region.

This is especially relevant in the ‘increased risk’ areas mentioned above, such as when examining the trochanteric region to differentiate between a true and false saddle-bag.Post-operative pain and discomfort are minimal; however, ecchymosis and edema are not uncommon and can be significant. Throughout the literature many have attempted to correct this deformity through various techniques including direct suspension of fat pads, muscular rotation and splitting, and surgical excision. Gasparotti believed that in superficial liposculpture skin is an ‘active structural dynamic contributor to the body contouring process’ and not just a passive element.

Plain X-ray of the abdomen in upright position, computed tomography scan or laparoscopy may be used to confirm the diagnosis. It is believed that PAL by reducing the surgeon's efforts and hence the resultant overall trauma to the tissues can reduce the post-operative swelling compared to SAL. People can cut lipo foam according to the size of the wound or the size required and left no impression on skin.

It has been suggested that the use of vertical tunnels in the extremities provides better skin retraction as compared to horizontal tunnels. These were satisfactorily treated with a combination of silicone gel sheets or applications, intralesional steroid injections, pressure therapy or re-excision. This unfortunate complication obviously dampened interest and curbed further development in this procedure for many decades. Treatment consists of aggressive debridement of gangrenous tissues, antibiotics and supportive therapy.
