THE PROCEDURE

Liposuction is the removal of excess fat and tissue in “problem” areas of the body such as legs, buttocks, abdomen, back, arms, face and neck. Using a surgical technique with special devices  we ‘suck’ the unwanted fat through small incisions made in the treatment area.

This method helps both men and women to reduce size and improve control of their weight quickly and safely. This procedure can be performed in different body parts simultaneously or it can be combined with other procedures.

RECOMMENDATIONS

While liposuction can substitute diet or exercise, it is not a cure for obesity. For optimal results this procedure should be done in patients with normal body weight that suffer from unattractive fat buildup in certain areas of their bodies. It is also important to have good health and flexible skin that has the ability to shrink after surgery. Since liposuction removes only fat, it cannot eliminate dimpling or correct skin laxity.

RESULTS

Liposuction is an outpatient procedure, which means that it requires minimal recovery time, however, it’s advisable to rest between five and seven days after surgery, avoiding physical activity.

After liposculpture you will see immediate results, showing a more defined and slim silhouette, and by following the instructions of our surgeons you will notice a full recovery after four to six weeks.
Seromas, infections, abdominal wall irregularity due to fibrous scar tissue.

COMPLICATIONS

Fat necrosis through the transfer of fat to subdermal buttocks, particularly when large fat valuations are infiltrated. A visit to the clinic will be required in order to drain the liquified fat.

In certain cases, it will be necessary to leave the drainage in the abdomen and back under treatment with prophylactic antibiotics

Fat embolism due to clots.
