Liposuction (Fat Removal)
Liposuction is used to reshape the body and alter its contours. Fat removal is used in cases when problem zones are resistant to diet and excercise. Liposuction is not, however, a weight loss procedure.
For those who believe that this operation is a small and safe procedure, which magically gives you a wonderful figure, they are very wrong: as with all operations, there are risks. A specialist can avoid such complications, and therefore this operation should only be carried out by a specialist Plastic Surgeon.
Results
Do you suffer from saddlebags, protruding lovehandles or a big tummy?
You have the possibility to get rid of these problem zones by means of this procedure, resulting in a beautiful body which is well-proportioned. Your silhouette will be reformed using drainage tubes.
The Operation
Your surgeon will mark the areas which need to be operated on and he will then use a local anaesthetic, numbing these areas. If you wish, this operation can be carried out under a local anaesthetic with sedation. There are different methods of performing fat removal. The procedure best suited to you, will be chosen during a private consultation with your surgeon.
After the surgeon has made small (as small as possible) incisions, he/she inserts a cannula and fat cells are removed applying a vacuum. The wounds are then closed with dissolvable sutures.
Afterwards you should wear a support garment, applying pressure to the operated area.
After a short time you will not be able to see the small incisions.
What a patient should know?
The maximum amount a surgeon can extract lies between 3 to 5 litres. Otherwise the electrolyte balance can be disturbed and this can lead to problems with your circulation and dangerous side-effects can occur.
The support garment should be worn for up to 6 weeks after the operation, in order to achieve maximum results.
It is possible to perform liposuction in many areas; however it is not the solution for everybody. You should consult your surgeon in order to decide whether this procedure the right one for you.
