A toned and well-proportioned body is considered a symbol of health and vitality. Fat deposits located anywhere on the body that do not respond to diet and exercise are successfully resolved by liposuction. Liposuction models certain areas of the body by removing excess fat, improving contours and proportions. Liposuction is not a weight loss method!
Frequently Asked Questions What is liposuction?
Liposuction, also called lipoplasty or succulent lipectomy or liposuction, is the surgical removal of localized fat deposits. There are three technical options:
Traditional liposuction defined as the simple aspiration removal of fat deposits
Intumescent or "super wet" technique consisting of infusion of saline with adrenaline additions, local anesthetic and sodium bicarbonate before starting proper fat intake
Ultrasound assisted lipoplasty, technique in which ultrasonic energy is used to liquefy the fat that is then aspirated
Liposuction can be used to remove fat deposits from the level:
Image, barbie, gat
Upper limbs
Thorax anterior and posterior Abdomen and waist
Hips and buttocks Thighs
Inner knee region
Gambe and ankle
In some cases, liposuction may be associated with other aesthetic surgery such as facial lifting, breast reduction, abdominoplasty.
Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity and no effective treatment for cellulite. It is the ideal treatment to get a remodeling of areas that are disproportionate compared to the rest of the body.
Ideal candidates for this type of intervention are adults, of any age, with a body mass in the range of plus / minus 30% of the ideal value, with firm and elastic skin and good muscle tonus. They must also meet the following conditions:
People with good health, no illnesses that could interfere with healing Non-smoking
Good capacity for understanding and objectively looking for possible results
Special considerations can get people with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or liposuction. How does the liposuction assessment session take place?
Consulting your surgeon is the first step in learning the details that are of interest to you about this technique. Discussions are included about:
Your wishes and what you can really get by applying this technique:
Technical options
Risks and complications of the procedure
The treatment plan indicated by your doctor
The consultation also includes assessing your health, both physical and emotional health Is lipoaspiration an individualized procedure?
Liposuction is a highly individualized procedure. The success of this intervention depends on a good patient assessment and full awareness of the possible outcomes. Skin tone, its elasticity as well as the density of fatty tissue and its distribution are factors that dictate the technique chosen and on which the end result depends.
It's a surgical procedure. It requires the use of tiny incisions in the vicinity of the treatment areas, through which cannulae of varying sizes are introduced. Sometimes the incision is so small that it does not require suture yarns. The fat is mobilized by using a vacuum. For small areas, vaccinated syringes may be used. All nets are used when transferring the sucked fats to other areas of the body to increase the volume of the acceptor area (eg lip level) by microlipofilling. They can also be used to treat deep wrinkles
The aspirated area is shrouded in a special conformator to help the skin "cling" to the new content. Sometimes secondary interventions are needed to remove excess skin
After a healing interval of about 14 days, weekly endermology sessions are useful to further level lipoaspirate and heal as slim.
How Do I Prepare For Liposuction?
You will receive specific instructions that include:
Pre-surgical considerations, diagnostic tests and necessary medication Instructions on the day of intervention
Information about anesthesia aleasa
Information on postoperative care
Possible risks are irregular contours, skin or flesh folded, nerve or skin damage, irregular pigmentation, infections of the treated area, fat or blood "plugs", increased fluid losses or fluid build-up at the site of surgery. The ultrasound method adds the risk of tissue burns. Also add the risk of anesthesia.
What are postoperative liposuction care?
A flexible, compressive bandage should be worn for 2 months. It has the role of controlling edema that develops postoperatively and compresses the skin on new content. You will receive instructions:
How to take care of the operating area
Medication against pain and a potential infection
The date of the next consultation
Generally, normal intensity activities resume as soon as possible. This prevents emboli and other complications.
The surgical plaque heals between 5 and 10 days. The healing process continues for several weeks. You will have to check your weight throughout your healing, because if you gain weight, the result of liposuction can be compromised.
Local edema may disappear within a few months. As it disappears, the new contour of the body is highlighted.
Although treatment is very effective, however, 1% of patients do not get the desired results!
