Interventional Pain Management
Involves using minimally invasive techniques to manage and treat chronic pain conditions. This approach seeks to identify and treat the source of pain through targeted interventions that can alleviate discomfort and restore function.
There are several techniques used in interventional pain management, including nerve blocks, injections, and minimally invasive procedures.
These methods can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including back pain, joint pain, headaches, and neuropathic pain. Some common procedures used in interventional pain management include epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, nerve blocks, and radiofrequency ablation. These techniques are typically performed on an outpatient basis and can provide immediate pain relief, as well as long-term benefits for patients suffering from chronic pain. It’s important to note that interventional pain management is not a cure for chronic pain, but rather a way to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Patients may still require ongoing pain management and other treatments to manage their conditions.
In addition to providing a more contoured and shapely figure, Lipo 3D can also improve self-confidence and body image. Patients may also experience a boost in their overall health and well-being, as excess fat around the waist, hips, and thighs can increase the risk of various health conditions.
Lipo 3D typically involves making small incisions in the targeted areas and using a cannula (a thin, hollow tube) to suction out fat cells. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours, depending on the extent of the treatment. Recovery time varies, but patients should expect to take some time off work and avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks following the surgery.
Like any surgery, Lipo 3D carries some risks, including bleeding, infection, and scarring. It is important to carefully follow your plastic surgeon's pre- and post-operative instructions to minimize these risks. Additionally, patients should be aware that Lipo 3D is not a weight loss procedure and that maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen is necessary to maintain the results of the surgery.
