Liposuction

Liposuction or liposuction is the surgical procedure that eliminates fat deposits. It is applicable in a very wide variety of situations (accumulations of fat in the thighs, abdomen, hips of the knees, ankles, etc.). The amount of fat that can be removed in an operating session is variable from subject to and generally does not exceed 2500-3000 cc.

In cases that require extensive removal, it is preferable to program a treatment in two or more operating times.

The operation can be performed under local anesthesia or, if the area to be treated is particularly extensive, under general anesthesia with a day’s hospitalization. The intervention under local anesthesia is ambulatory. The intervention under local anesthesia is ambulatory. Local anesthesia is combined with a tranquilizer, so the patient does not feel any discomfort and can fall asleep during the surgery. At the end of the operation the patient wears an elastic compressive dressing. In the immediate postoperative period the appearance of the treated area does not show very obvious differences compared to before the surgery, it is this effect of the edema that is swelling.

It can sometimes take weeks or months for it to resolve, which explains why the result of the operation is optimal only after 6-8 months.

The intervention allows to obtain a final result that lasts a lifetime, since the fat sucked does not regenerate.
