Liposuction<\/span><\/h1>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Also known as liposculpture, liposuction reshapes specific areas of the body, removing excess fat deposits, improving body contours and proportion.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

<\/div><\/div>

<\/i>WHAT IS LIPOSUCTION?<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Despite good health and physical exercise, some people may still have a body with disproportionate contours due to localized fat deposits. These areas may occur due to genetic characteristics, lack of weight control or physical activity. Liposuction can be used to treat fat accumulations in various parts of the body, including thighs, arms, neck, waist, back, medial knee, chest, cheeks, chin, legs and ankles. In some cases, liposuction is performed alone, in other cases, it is used with plastic surgery procedures such as facelift , breast reduction or abdominoplasty.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>WHAT LIPOSUCTION WILL NOT DO<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity and does not replace physical exercise and good eating habits. Individuals with areas of fat on the body and who exercise regularly are the best candidates for this procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>IS THE PROCEDURE RIGHT FOR ME?<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

If you are bothered by excess fat accumulation \u2013 located anywhere on your body \u2013 and do not see positive results with diet or exercise, liposuction may be suitable for you.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>IDEAL LIPOSUCTION CANDIDATES ARE<\/a><\/h3>

\n\u2022 Individuals determined to follow the plastic surgeon's recommendations.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE CONSULTATION<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

The success and safety of the procedure largely depends on your sincerity during the consultation. You will be asked about your health, desires and lifestyle.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>RISKS AND SAFETY INFORMATION<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

The decision to undergo liposuction is a personal one and it is up to you to decide whether the benefits will achieve your goals and whether the risks and potential complications are acceptable. The plastic surgeon and\/or assistants will explain, in detail, the risks associated with the surgery. You must sign the consent form to ensure that you fully understand the procedure you will undergo and any risks or complications.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\u2022 Possibility of a new surgical procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>MAKE QUESTIONS<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

It is very important that you ask all your questions directly to the plastic surgeon about the surgical procedure. It is natural to feel a little anxiety, whether it is anticipation of the result or pre-operative stress. Don't be ashamed to discuss these feelings with your plastic surgeon.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>PREPARING FOR SURGERY<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Before surgery, it may be necessary to:<\/span>
\n\u2022 Take laboratory tests or medical evaluation;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Taking certain medications or adjusting your current medications;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Stop smoking well before surgery;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Avoid taking aspirin and some anti-inflammatories and natural medicines, as they can increase bleeding.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>WHAT HAPPENS DURING LIPOSUCTION SURGERY?<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Procedure Steps<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1 \u2013 Anesthesia<\/strong><\/span>
\nMedications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure. Options include intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best option for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2 \u2013 Incision<\/strong><\/span>
\nLiposuction is performed through small, imperceptible incisions.<\/span>
\nFirst, sterile liquid solution is infused to reduce bleeding and trauma. Then, a thin hollow tube (cannula) is inserted through these incisions to loosen excess fat, using a controlled back and forth motion.<\/span>
\nThe displaced fat is then suctioned out of the body using a surgical aspirator or syringe attached to the cannula.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 3 \u2013 Results<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe improvement in body contour will be apparent when swelling and fluid retention decrease. With continued practices of a healthy diet and physical activity, the loss of excess adipose tissue should be preserved. However, substantial weight gain may alter the outcome obtained from surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>RECOVERY<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Compression mesh or elastic bandages are placed on the treated areas at the end of the procedure, as they help control swelling and compress the skin.<\/span>
\nAdditionally, a small drain may be placed in the incisions under the skin to remove any excess blood or fluid.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>BE CAREFUL<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Following your doctor's recommendations is essential for the success of the surgery. It is important that surgical incisions are not subjected to excessive force, abrasion or movement during the healing period.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>YOU WILL RECEIVE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS, INCLUDING<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

How to care for the surgery site, medications to take orally to reduce the risk of infection and when to return for follow-up with the plastic surgeon.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>IMPORTANT INFORMATION<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Additional procedures may sometimes be necessary to reduce excess skin. Special considerations are required when large quantities \u2212 generally more than 5 liters of fat \u2212 are aspirated.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>ASK YOUR PLASTIC SURGEON ABOUT RECOVERY<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

\u2022 Where will I remain in recovery after surgery is complete?<\/span>
\n\u2022 What medication will I be given or prescribed after surgery?<\/span>
\n\u2022 Will there be dressings\/bandages after surgery? When will they be removed?<\/span>
\n\u2022 Will the stitches be removed? When?<\/span>
\n\u2022 When will I be able to resume normal activities and exercise?<\/span>
\n\u2022 When will the return appointment be?<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>WHEN RECEIVING DISCHARGE<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

If you experience shortness of breath, chest pains, or an abnormal heartbeat, seek medical attention immediately. If any of these complications occur, you may need hospitalization and additional treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

The practice of medicine and surgery is not an exact science. Although good results are expected, there is no guarantee. In some situations, it may not be possible to achieve optimal results with a single surgical procedure, requiring further surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>LIPOSUCTION RESULTS<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

The swelling caused by the surgery disappears after a few months. When the swelling disappears, the new body contour will be visible. Following some recommendations will ensure that you maintain the results initially obtained with liposuction, that is, you need to maintain an adequate weight and adopt a healthy lifestyle. Weight gain can reverse the results.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>WHAT IS THE COST OF LIPOSUCTION?<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

Cost is always a consideration in elective surgery. A surgeon's fees may vary depending on their experience and the type of procedure performed.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>COST MAY INCLUDE<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

\u2022 Surgeon's fees;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Hospital or surgical center expenses;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Anesthetist's fees;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Spending on medicines;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Post-operative meshes;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Medical exams.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>YOUR SATISFACTION IS WORTH MORE THAN THE COSTS OF THE SURGERY<\/a><\/h3>
\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

When choosing a plastic surgeon to perform this procedure, remember that the surgeon's experience and your good relationship with him or her are as important as the final cost of the surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>ASK YOUR PLASTIC SURGEON QUESTIONS<\/a><\/h3>
