Body contouring: liposuction and non-invasive modalities Flashcards
What nerve can be affected after injection of deoxycholic acid in the submental fat?
Paresis of the marginal mandibular nerve
Occurs in 4% of patients, resolves spontaneously
What are some potential side effects of cryolipolisis?
Numbness, paradoxical adipocyte hyperplasia, bruising
What part of cryolipolysis is often the most painful part for a patient?
After the cold application cycle the area is massaged and this can often be the most painful part
What are some common side effects of deoxycholic acid injection?
Erythema, bruising, pain, numbness, and edema
What is the mechanism of radiofrequency induced lipolysis?
Heat-induced apoptosis of adipose cells
What are some side effects of radiofrequency devices for fat reduction?
Redness and edema, can also cause local edema
How many sessions are needed for radiofrequency fat reduction?
6 or more
What are some advantages of tumescent liposuction?
With tumescent liposuction, there is a decreased chance of things like bowel perforation, bleeding, anesthesia complications. Also, local vasoconstriction from the tumescent anesthesia decreases blood loss as well and improves convenience
What are some potential side effects of tumescent liposuction?
abdominal pain, transient abdominal distention, Infection, hematoma, serum, skin puckering/lumpiness, panniculitis, lidocaine toxicity, panniculitis, scarring
What is the volume limit for fat removal in tumescent liposuction?
4500-5000 mL removed via cannula
What is mesotherapy for fat contouring?
Degradation of adipose cells using various pharmacologic plant-based and vitamin derived compounds
What is a disadvantage of mesotherapy for fat contouring?
Not FDA regulated and may be ineffective and unsafe
