Liposuction procedure
Liposuction
(also called Lipoplasty) is a body shaping procedure. It involves
removing excess of fat tissue which slims, reshapes and improves body
contours.
The best candidates for the procedure are healthy women who
have a firm and elastic skin but their body has disproportionate
contours because of wrong located fat tissue.
The procedure is performed in general anaesthesia. In case of some
small amounts of fat tissue and body area it can be performed under
local anaesthesia but it happens very rarely. Liposuction involves
small incisions, infusion of a special liquid and then inserting so
called cannula to loosen excess fat tissue and finally suct out the fat.
After the surgery a patient should stay for at least 1 night in the
clinic under medical care. For the first few days majority of patients
are significantly swollen and have bruises, feel stiff and sore. The
surgery itself is completely without any pain but just after the
procedure for first few days patients feel some pain and discomfort
which can be controlled by medication. Elastic garment should be worn
during first 6 weeks non stop. In a clinic a patient should get
instructions how to treat the body after liposuction.
In
majority of cases a noticeable difference in the shape of
patient’s body is visible quite soon after surgery. However,
improvement will become even more apparent after about four to six
weeks, when most of the swelling has subsided. It is hard to estimate
how long any persistent mild swelling will subside, in some cases it is
3 months, in some other even 6 months. It all depends on individual
predispositions of a patient. After 3-6 months the final result is
visible.
As
a result of a surgery patient receives a better shaped part of the
body. It means that thighs are much slimmer, abdomen became more
visible or waist is tighter. Certainly during a surgery an additional
fat tissue is removed from a body therefore a patient loses kilograms
but, and it is very important to note, in fact one should check the
results of a liposuction surgery not by weighting oneself but by
looking in a mirror.
Each surgery carries risks, in case of liposuction there is a risk of
uneven contours, loose skin, infection, fat or blood clots, bleeding,
etc. All risks connected with undergoing the surgery should be
discussed with a surgeon during direct assessment.
Liposuction gives visible, long-lasting results, improves our look and
enhance self image.
