WHAT IS LIPOSUCTION AND WHO IS IT INTENDED FOR?

October 27, 2023

As one of the most common and popular procedures for fine body shaping and tightening, liposuction, also known as body liposculpture, is frequently mentioned. So, when all diets and methods you've tried to get rid of fat deposits on the stomach, hips, thighs, buttocks, upper arms, forearms, and other parts of the body fail, liposculpture presents the perfect solution! Moreover, if you belong to the group of people who want to achieve body shaping and tightening quickly, with minimal effort and energy, aesthetic surgery offers safe methods for the look you've always desired!

Body Liposculpture – Who is the Ideal Candidate for This Surgical Intervention?

When it comes to aesthetic surgery, there are various treatments for removing fat deposits, but liposuction cannot address the issue of obesity or excessive weight. Body liposculpture is the ideal solution for individuals with stable weight but with noticeable fat deposits in specific areas of the body, seeking surgical body reshaping and tightening. The most common body parts subjected to liposculpture are thighs, buttocks, hips, knees, upper arms, lower legs, ankles, stomach, back, although fat removal can be performed on various other body parts as well.

Although there is no limitation regarding the regions where liposuction can be performed, what is limited is the amount of fat that can be removed, around 5kg. Liposculpture can also be used for breast reduction, but it cannot address issues like cellulite, stretch marks, sagging skin, and other skin deformities. Aesthetic surgery offers different treatments for such issues, and liposuction is exclusively for mild body correction and tightening for both women and men.

Before deciding on this step, it's important that your general health is good, and body weight is stable. An ideal candidate for liposuction is a person with 5 to 10 kg excess weight, aged between 25 and 45, as the skin is still elastic and has the best recovery capabilities, making body tightening most effective. Additionally, if you plan to undergo other procedures such as tummy tuck, lip augmentation, cheek or buttock augmentation, breast augmentation, facelift, and more – liposculpture can be combined with these procedures. Our fat tissue is rich in growth factors and stem cells, making it suitable for facial lifting, wrinkle removal, as well as for filling body parts where it's necessary to achieve a harmonious and perfect appearance!

How is the Liposuction Procedure Performed, and What is the Recovery Time?

Liposculpture falls into minimally invasive procedures, as small incisions are made on the skin during the procedure, through which cannulas are inserted – hollow tubes representing special instruments for extracting subcutaneous fat tissue. Cannulas come in various shapes and sizes, ranging from 2-6 mm, enabling the even extraction of all necessary fat from different layers of the skin. This procedure can be facilitated by prior infiltration, introducing a saline solution with adrenaline, or fat tissue breakdown can be achieved with radio waves.

Liposculpture can last between one and five hours, depending on the region that needs to be covered. Our aesthetic surgery clinic usually performs procedures under general anesthesia, although this depends on various factors. Regarding recovery, after the intervention, patients need to wear a corset or girdle for at least three weeks, playing a significant role in excess skin contraction and being essential for body tightening. Return to everyday life activities is possible after 5 to 7 days, but this also depends on the individual – their age, lifestyle, and other factors.

When it comes to aesthetic surgery, including procedures like liposculpture, it's crucial to follow the doctor's advice and instructions before and after the operation to endure the intervention more easily, recover faster, and minimize potential complications!
