Liposuction, or correction of subcutaneous fat, is – next to breast augmentation surgery – one of the most popular of plastic surgeries.
During the first year of life, the amount of adipocytes (cells responsible for the synthesis and accumulation of fat) increase. Their volume increases within next five years and also during puberty. Fat that deposits on the abdomen, thighs or hips are the result of our negligence and nutritional errors.
Sometimes a bit of self-discipline, change of diet, movement is enough to get rid of an unwanted blubber. Unfortunately, getting rid of adipose tissue developed during childhood and adolescence is sometimes impossible without the intervention of a plastic surgeon.
At the same time, it should be emphasized that liposuction is a modeling procedure, not a slimming method. The treatment will also not eliminate cellulite or flabby and drooping skin. It is reserved for people who are relatively slim and have excess body fat in certain parts of the body that can not be removed by physical exercise or diet.
The procedure consists in introducing special cannulas through small skin incisions. The fat is sucked out in the shortest time possible.
Permanent structures such as blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and connective tissue are not damaged, thanks to which the healing process after surgery is much faster, Acaromas occur less often. This method is very delicate, minimally invasive and at the same time extremely precise. Scars that remain after sucking the fat have a length of 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm and are virtually invisible.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. On average, the operation takes about 2 hours. In order not to expose the patient to any danger, dose of only 3 to 4 liters of fat can be sucked from the body. Sucking in a larger amount can lead to serious complications.
Patient has to wear a special pressure garment for a month, which massages the skin, prevents hematomas and also accelerates skin shrinkage. Return to work is possible after 1-2 weeks, depending on the extent of the operation. The reduction of the circumference of the operated area is noticeable after 4 – 6 weeks.
Keeping weight after surgery, avoiding exposure to the sun, reducing smoking and drinking alcohol – these factors guarantee us that the effects of surgery will be permanent and we will be able to enjoy a beautiful and shapely figure for a long time. Once sucked up fat from one place will never be rebuilt in as much as before the procedure, because fat cells are formed only during childhood and adolescence. Thus, it can be said that the effects after liposuction remain in some cases for the rest of the life.
