Liposuction of the abdomen, thighs, face( second chin).Liposuction without surgery

Liposuction( lipoaspiration) - one of the most common technologies for correction of body fat. Performed by the surgical method of vacuum aspiration. Simply put, the operation of liposuction is to suction excess fat from tissues with a special device - vacuum suction.

To whom is liposuction indicated?

Local accumulations of fat on the neck, thighs, knees, anterior and lateral surfaces of the abdominal wall( so-called "fat traps") look unaesthetic and cause patients moral suffering. Liposuction is not a method of treating general obesity. This technique is intended solely to remove local fat deposits that do not lend themselves to non-surgical correction methods. It has the best effect, supplemented by other manipulations from the category of plastic surgery. For example, liposuction of the neck chin zone is accompanied by a circular tightening of the face and neck skin. And such a procedure on the front of the abdominal wall will be most effective if the abdominal plastic is subsequently carried out.

Contraindications to liposuction are common diseases in the stage of exacerbation, the presence of neoplasms in the patient, mental illness, as well as pregnancy.

The following types of fat removal are carried out: abdominal liposuction, thigh liposuction, back liposuction, face liposuction, chin liposuction, cheek liposuction, neck liposuction.

Contraindications to liposuction:

- diabetes mellitus in any form;
- severe forms of hypertension;
- any serious somatic diseases - pneumonia, open forms of tuberculosis, exacerbations of gastrointestinal diseases, hepatitis, purulent skin diseases in the areas of liposuction.

Before performing liposuction, a plastic surgeon must be consulted, during which the doctor determines the scope of the operation and the necessary examinations. This, as a rule, blood tests, ECG, consultations of narrow specialists. Usually this is a therapist, gynecologist, endocrinologist.

These measures are aimed at preventing all possible complications and infectious processes.

If you have any type of skin infection, the operation will have to be postponed. Also, the operation will be postponed during the period.

Preparation for operation of liposuction

Preparation begins with consultation. The surgeon at the first consultation will determine how your fat is stored and evaluate the condition of your skin in order to remove fat. The surgeon will explain the course of the operation and suggest a method that will be most suitable for you. He can determine how much fat will be removed.

The surgeon will give you instructions on how to prepare for the operation. He will tell you what you can eat and drink, what medicines and vitamins should be avoided.

What anesthesia is used during liposuction?

Liposuction is usually performed under general anesthesia. The anesthetic is administered intravenously.

Liposuction of the abdomen is often used epidural anesthesia, the same as that used in childbirth. Since a large amount of fat is removed on the abdomen and the process is very long, some patients prefer general anesthesia. During the procedure, you sleep, and the anesthesiologist controls this process. In any case, regardless of the method and type of anesthesia, liposuction passes absolutely painlessly.

Technique for the operation of liposuction

The procedure for performing liposuction is as follows. After the operating field is treated with an antiseptic and closed with sterile underwear, liposuction itself begins. On the patient's body, the plastic surgeon in advance maps the zones of the incisions, liquid is injected into these zones. The incision is carried out by a special instrument called the liposuction cannula. With the help of such a cannula, it is possible to achieve a minimum length of the incision not exceeding 1 cm. Through the incisions, a probe is inserted into the tissue by which the fat cells are destroyed and mixed with the liquid, forming an emulsion that is sucked from the tissues by means of vacuum aspiration. To suture the wound, the usual suture material is used, but the seam itself is superimposed on a special technology, so that the scar from the suture is subsequently virtually invisible.

This is a fairly long operation. It is difficult to say exactly how long it will take, it depends on the volume of fat deposits on this or that part of the patient's body. The size of the area of distribution of fatty deposits also affects the cost of liposuction. In addition, prices often increase due to the plasticity of the corresponding zone of the body.

Immediately after the operation, special compressive underwear is put on to prevent swelling. In this underwear the patient is between 4 and 6 weeks. In the clinic, the patient stays from 2 hours to 2 days, depending on the amount of surgical intervention.

Postoperative period and results of liposuction

The course of the postoperative period depends on the volume of fat being removed - the smaller it is, the better the patient feels. Staying in the clinic within 24 hours after the operation is shown only in cases when the volumes of fatty deposits are especially large. With limited intervention, the patient often leaves the clinic within 3-4 hours. In the future you will need to come to the clinic for examination and dressings. After 5-7 days after the procedure, the patient is removed from the seams or the seams dissolve independently( depending on the type of suture material).In order for liposuction to have a better effect, the patient is recommended to wear compression underwear for a month.

After surgery, a small amount of liquid may be released through the skin incisions( drainage is used to prevent fluid accumulation).After liposuction at first, minor pain, swelling of soft tissues, bruises and numbness of the skin in the area of interference, general weakness are possible. In the coming months, you can not visit the sauna and sauna, as well as avoid active physical activity.

Patients should be aware that it is almost impossible to immediately evaluate the result of liposuction. First, the fat cells partially continue to break down for some time after the operation. Secondly, the edema at the site of probe insertion can interfere with the evaluation of the result. Preliminary evaluation of the achieved result can be given 4-5 weeks after liposuction, and finally to be convinced of the success of the operation - only in 2-6 months. If necessary, after the expiration of the 6-month period, the patient may undergo a repeat procedure.

There are specially developed complexes of rehabilitation measures after liposuction:

special massage( it can be started in early periods);
mesotherapy with special preparations that allow to remove edema, reduce bruises on the body, improve contours;
ozone therapy also helps to reduce these symptoms.
All these rehabilitation activities are conducted in our clinic.

Mesotherapy is a local intradermal point injection of allopathic and homeopathic medications by zone. A lot of injections are done, but if done correctly, this is not painful.

Ozonotherapy is a method of injecting subcutaneous injections - an ozone-oxygen mixture. For this purpose, a special apparatus is used which prepares this mixture, and with the help of thin needles it is introduced into the subcutaneous tissue. This improves nutrition and microcirculation in tissues, lymph drainage, venous outflow.

In the case of contraindications to liposuction, a combination of these two techniques, allows you to remove local fat deposits.

Serious complications are rare if liposuction is properly performed. Usually, this is an unexpressed pain syndrome, bruising and swelling. If you apply the above measures, the rehabilitation period is accelerated and the complications are reduced.

Liposuction of the face and neck

Facial liposuction is enhanced by liposuction of the neck and face, in particular cheek zones. Excess fat in the folds of the neck or under the chin are found even in young women. After liposuction of the neck, the skin is smoothed out very quickly and remains so for a long time. In people over 40 years, liposuction of the neck and cheeks is most often accompanied by plastic contours of the face. Such a complex operation gives a good aesthetic effect.

Liposuction of the lateral surfaces of the abdomen, thighs and buttocks

Liposuction on the lateral sides of the torso in combination with plastic correction allows to form a beautiful contour of the figure. However, such an operation is only indicated for small amounts of fatty deposits. By removing fat from the thighs and buttocks, the plastic surgeon helps the patient to get rid of cellulite, so that these areas of the body regain their former elasticity.

Liposuction for hips

The outer and inner thighs of women are a zone of accumulation of reserve fatty tissue or, more clearly, these are problem areas of the figure. Even with a relatively small weight and body volume in the hip region, deep fat deposits are formed, which worsen the external harmonic contours in the form of an hourglass. The usual ways to combat excess weight in such cases are not very effective. Observance of strict diets leads to a decrease in the total body weight, exhausting physical exertion can only slightly reduce the amount of fat accumulation in the problem area, but will not lead to its complete splitting, and therefore will not return the former harmonious proportions.
This is why liposuction of the hips of the outer and inner surfaces is the most effective way to solve this problem.

Features of Liposuction Hips. Liposuction of the hips can be carried out separately or as part of the basic operation of tightening the skin of the body. In any case, the purpose of liposuction of the anterior surface of the thigh is to remove not the maximum, but the optimal amount of fatty deposits. Smooth and even skin after surgery is more important for the patient than the maximum fat removal.

Liposuction of abdomen

In the anterior abdominal wall, minor fat deposits can accumulate in the form of a small "ball" just below the umbilical ring. More pronounced deposits capture the entire abdomen, while the fat localization region has the shape of a rectangle. With well-expressed deposits of fat and enough soft skin, liposuction of the abdomen gives the best effect.

Liposuction of the abdomen - is the removal of excess fat tissue, to give the stomach aesthetically acceptable form.

The purpose of the abdominal liposuction is to remove the necessary amount of fat deposits, to simulate the contours of the abdomen. Liposuction of the abdomen can eliminate deformities in the lower abdomen in the form of a ball, fat folds around the navel, or a rectangular fold under the breast.

Photo during liposuction with abdominoplasty:

A special solution consisting of a liquid containing a local anesthetic and vasoconstrictive preparations is introduced into the layer of fat to be removed.

Then make several punctures( usually in the navel, above the pubis, in the folds under the breast) through which excess fat is sucked out by long blunt cannulas( diameter 2-4 mm) connected to the vacuum suction by a sterile hose. Since the end of the cannula is rounded, nerves and small vessels during the liposuction of the abdomen are not damaged, only fat cells are torn off and absorbed.

Extra fat is pumped out here:

After the abdominal liposuction is completed, the incisions are sewn and drainage is installed in them, at this stage, additional abdominoplasty is possible.

Then the patient is put on special compression underwear. If the volume of the operation is small, the patient can go home on the same day. After a large liposuction of the abdomen, the patient should spend a day under the supervision of the clinic doctor. This will look like the belly a couple of weeks after the operation:

Liposuction without surgery( US liposuction)

Ultrasonic liposuction, ultrasound liposuction is a non-surgical method of figure correction. US-liposuction is convenient, comfortable, painless and quite effective.

Liposuction without surgery( AS-Liposuction)

Description of liposuction procedure without surgery

Removal of fat deposits by ultrasonic waves in males and females with medium and excess weight.

Apparatus for the procedure: UltraShape Contour I of the newest generation.

Indications for the procedure of Uzi-liposuction:

Small fat deposits in various areas in men and women. Whether this type of procedure is suitable for you will be determined only by a specialist.

Technology of ultrasound-liposuction:

The procedure is performed in the clinic on a special ultrasound device. Under the influence of ultrasonic focused waves, membranes of fat cells are destroyed, up to 500 ml of fat per 1 procedure( 2-4 cm in volume).Destroyed fat cells are eliminated from the body by the liver in a natural way, since there is no difference between the fat for the liver after the procedure or the food coming from the liver.

Recommended course - at least three procedures. To achieve the maximum possible effect of ultrasonic liposuction, it is recommended to adhere to a certain diet without fried and fat( so that the liver can effectively remove the fat cells destroyed during the procedure), as well as several procedures for general massage or lymph drainage( for faster removal of fat cells from the problem areas to the liver).

Ultrasound-liposuction should be performed under the supervision of a professional surgeon.

Results after the procedure of ultrasonic liposuction: safe weight loss by the natural forces of your body. Fat cells, which are destroyed by ultrasonic waves in problem areas, will never recover, so they do not grow new fat deposits.

Already after the 1st procedure, it takes up to 4cm of the problem zone( ie, the abdomen, thigh, etc. will decrease by 4 cm).

Follow-up procedures are carried out 3 weeks after the previous one.

Advantages of ultrasound-liposuction procedure:

Without surgery( without surgery)
Without pain and discomfort
Outpatient( between sessions you lead a habitual way of life)
Visible result after the first procedure
No bruises, scars in the area of exposure
Safety for the body- Ultrasound does not affect other tissues, organs, blood vessels.

Contraindications to non-surgical ultrasound liposuction

Pregnancy, artificial pacemaker, hip prosthesis, knee joints, metal structures in the Ultrasound, abdominal hernia and divergence of the rectus abdominis, skin lesions in the area of exposure, severe immune system diseases, clotting,chronic hepatitis, renal failure.

Procedure of US liposuction:

On the patient's body, the problem area is marked with a marker and medical scotch. Treating this site with a special gel, the doctor induces a circular nozzle through which the ultrasound "hits" the fat cells. Although procedures are performed only by experienced doctors, but the device itself also insures the patient. The computer calculates the impact zones to within a micron so that the directed wave that "shoots" the fat cells does not hit the same target twice. If you point the device at an already processed point, it simply does not turn on. This protects the patient from the so-called "washboard" effect, which is often manifested after surgical liposuction due to the fact that the fat has been removed unevenly. Sensations in patients during the procedure - a slight tingling or none at all.
