Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that consists of dissolving the accumulated fat found in different parts of the body through energy and technology. Later it is extracted by means of a cannula by suction.
For its part, liposculpture uses the same method of extracting fat by suction in various areas to remove it from the spots where it is left over. In addition, it can be transferred to other parts of the body in order to shape the figure and give it a more attractive silhouette.
Liposculpture is one of the most requested surgeries.
It is performed in the operating room, and lasts approximately 3-4 hours.
The liposuction or liposculpture process can help the patient reshape their body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas of the body.
Soring ultrasound-assisted liposuction advantages over conventional liposuction is that it is selective for fat since it emulsifies (melts) it. It doesn´t damage collagen or elastin fibers, favors skin retraction, does not hurt nerves, vessels or muscles or skin, a faster and less painful recovery, but above all, it will give a more aesthetic result and a natural contour in the medium and long term.
The difference between traditional liposculpture with or without ultrasound and HD, High Definition or 4D is the marking of muscle divisions to obtain a more defined abdomen, however, not all patients are candidates for this procedure due to muscle mass, overweight or obesity and skin quality.
As in all cosmetic surgery, liposuction involves post-procedure side effects:
The risks of liposuction are the same as in other surgeries: infection, inflammation, bleeding, adverse reactions to anesthesia, blood clotting.
The particular risks are:
Once the surgery is done, you will have to follow post-liposuction care.
Immediately after the surgery you will have to go through a postoperative and recovery period in which you will have to wear a girdle and a drain to allow the blood and fluid to come out.
The patient must take the prescribed medications: antibiotics and pain relievers in order to prevent infections, relieve pain and inflammation and help speed recovery.
During the first two weeks it is recommended to stay protected from the sun, avoid excessive heat from water and saunas, as well as refrain from exercising.
You will have to wear the postoperative girdle for several months to reduce discomfort, provide comfort in movement, accelerate healing and help the skin adapt to its new shape.
In general, the ideal candidates for liposuction are:
Liposuction scars are small, and the amount depends on the number of insertion points the surgeon has made.
During liposuction the patient is anesthetized, so he does not feel pain.
Yes. You should stop smoking about 2 weeks before and 1 month after liposuction to prevent cigarette smoke from interfering with healing.
In general, after liposuction you will be able to resume your activities within the first few days, and practice sports after approximately 4 weeks.
No. Liposuction uses suction to remove fat that has accumulated under the skin. Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck removes excess skin, tightens the abdominal muscles, and treats excess skin.
No. Ideally, you should lose weight before liposuction through healthy eating. The maximum amount of fat to be removed with liposuction is between 3 to 5 kilos.
After liposuction you will go through a period of inflammation and you will be able to see the results between 3-6 months later.
Yes, because the fat cells are eliminated. But this does not mean that you cannot gain weight again and that the shape and contour of your body will be affected.
