Specialists in Liposuction

Overview of Liposuction

Liposuction is an advanced surgical procedure that removes localized fat deposits, sculpting body contours. This technique eliminates fat accumulations resistant to diet and exercise, providing lasting results when maintaining a healthy lifestyle. With a satisfaction rate above 90%, liposuction has become one of the most performed aesthetic procedures today.

Evaluation and Decision Process

The decision to undergo liposuction should be well-considered. The procedure is indicated for people with stable weight and localized fat resistant to physical exercise. Non-surgical alternatives include treatments like cryolipolysis or focused ultrasound, though with more limited results. It's essential to have realistic expectations and understand that liposuction is not a treatment for obesity.

Procedure Preparation

Proper preparation includes complete laboratory tests, cardiac evaluation, and adjustments to current medication when necessary. In the weeks leading up to surgery, it's important to avoid medications that affect blood clotting, stop smoking, and maintain a balanced diet. For surgery day, arrange transportation and post-operative care.

The Surgical Procedure

Modern liposuction uses different techniques, such as traditional, ultrasonic, or laser. The procedure begins with the infiltration of a special solution that facilitates fat removal and reduces bleeding. Areas are then treated through small incisions, allowing controlled fat removal. Duration varies from 1 to 4 hours, depending on treated areas.

Recovery Period

Initial recovery requires about two weeks of specific care. Wearing compression garments, lymphatic drainage, and incision care are essential. Warning signs requiring medical attention include high fever, intense pain, or significant asymmetries. Gradual return to activities should follow professional guidance.
