Edit What is MicroLipo?

<div>However, with so much information readily available on the internet, some misconceptions have developed about the procedure. This blog post aims to bust some of the myths circulating the internet by speaking to Dr Puneet Gupta, a leading aesthetic physician who was trained extensively by the inventor of microlipo, Dr Jeffrey Klein.</div> <div> </div> <h2>‘Micro’ doesn’t mean less fat is removed</h2> <div>When people hear the term ‘microlipo’ it’s easy for them to think that smaller amounts of <a title="fat" href="https://www.consultingroom.com/conditions/fat-reduction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fat</a> are being removed than with traditional lipo. However, the ‘micro’ part simply refers to the much smaller instruments that are used during the procedure.</div> <div> </div> <div>Dr Gupta explains:</div> <div> </div> <blockquote> <div><em>“The smaller instruments used during microlipo are actually to the patient’s benefit if they are suffering </em>from<em> lipoedema. This is because the procedure is more lymphatic spearing than the cannulas used by any other technique.”</em></div> </blockquote> <div> </div> <h2>MicroLipo makes patient safety a priority</h2> <div>It’s not that traditional liposuction is generally unsafe, but it has had some bad press over the years due to doctors recklessly performing long procedures on 3, 4 or even 5 areas at a time and removing 8 to 10 litres of fat. When large amounts of fat like this are removed in one sitting it can cause a dramatic loss of fluids, and significantly disturb the hemodynamics of the body.</div> <div> </div> <div>Microlipo is also capable of removing 5-10 litres of fat, and the legal guidance on how much fat can safely be removed is the same for both procedures. However, the amount of fat removed with microlipo is carefully calculated to ensure patient safety, and to ensure that the patient can recover in the comfort of their own home instead of at the hospital.</div> <div> </div> <div>As Dr Gupta says,</div> <div> </div> <blockquote> <div><em>“It’s important when so many people have access to the internet and come across all this information about liposuction that they interpret it correctly and save themselves the damage that it can do.”</em></div> </blockquote>
