DESCRIPTION:
Suction-assisted lipectomy also known as liposuction, fat suction, or suction
lipectomy is a technique to remove unwanted fat deposits from specific areas
of the body, including the chin, neck, and cheeks; the upper arms and above
the breasts; the abdomen, buttocks, hips, and thighs, and the knees, calves,
and ankles. Liposuction surgery is not a substitute for weight reduction,
but a method of removing localized fat that doesn't respond to dieting and
exercise. With this technique, we got to improve the contours with definition
of a new image giving a more harmonious and attractive silhouette.
•
ANESTHESIA:
General, regional or local with sedation
•
SURGERY:
After the anesthesia, we marked the areas and we accomplished infiltration
of a solution that will promote blood drawn reduction during the surgery.
To begin the surgical procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision, just
large enough to allow the insertion of a hollow tube called a cannula. The
opposite end of the cannula is attached to a machine that creates a strong
vacuum. The surgeon manipulates the cannula deep within the fat layers under
the skin, breaking up the fat and suctioning it out. Suction-assisted lipectomy
usually takes 2 – 3 hours.
•
SCARS:
Small scars (1cm) in hidden areas.
•
POSTOPERATIVE:
After the surgery, the patient stay 1 day in a hospital. He/she will use a
belt for 30 days. In the 10th postoperative day, we began the drainage sessions.
The result begins to appear with 1 week and it is defined with 3-6 months.
The expertise, ability and the surgeon's experience are the responsible factors
for the good result.
•
COMMENTS:
The liposuction is an excellent method to treat the located fat and it is
very safe when accomplished by specialized professional. When well accomplished,
he/she gives excellent results and he/she doesn't leave marks or depressions.
